Filming continues in South Africa for the second season of the live-action One Piece. And over the past several weeks, Netflix has revealed new cast members for the upcoming second season. Today, we can exclusively reveal that Sendhil Ramamurthy will join the cast as Nefertari Cobra.
The latest cast announcements come from Eiichiro Oda’s teaser on August 20th, revealing that new cast members will be announced on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of August. This means at the time of writing, we’re in store for another reveal tomorrow! In the teaser, Oda confirmed that the second season will cover the Loguetown Arc and the Drum Island Arc events, which means we won’t see Alabasta until season 3.

Fans waiting for the reveal of Miss All Sunday (aka Robin) will have to wait a little longer. There’s a chance we’ll see that cast reveal at Netflix’s annual Geeked Week event in September.
