Netflix has found its Miss Wednesday in former Bridgerton actress Charithra Chandran. She will join the cast as a series regular for the second season of One Piece. The news of Charithra’s casting concludes this week’s news of One Piece casting, and we expect to learn more soon.
Eiichiro Oda teased earlier this week that cast announcements would be made between August 21st and August 23rd. Naturally, the casting news has caused quite a stir online as fans eagerly await the second season.

We expect more cast members to be revealed soon, but at the very least, we expect this to be the last we hear of casting news until Netflix’s Geeked Week Event in September 2024, where One Piece will be featured.
Charithra Chandran will play Miss Wednesday.
British actress Charithra Chandran will star in the second season of One Piece as Miss Wednesday, an agent of Baroque Works! There’s more than meets the eye to Miss Wednesday, which audiences experiencing One Piece for the first time through the live-action adaptation will find out more in due time.
Bridgerton fans will recognize Charithra Chandran as Edwina Sharma from the second season. She also starred as a Bollywood Dancer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Eternals and as Sabina Pleasance in the television adaptation of Alex Rider.
In a video, Chandran said:
“Hey guys, I am so excited to be joining the cast of One Piece, and I feel incredibly grateful to Oda Sensei for trusting me with the role of Vivi. I know how much she means to all of you, and I am going to work my hardest to do her justice and make you all proud. See you soon!”
