Netflix has shared the news that actors Joe Manganiello and Lera Abova are the new additions to the cast of season two of One Piece Live Action.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Manganiello will be playing the character of Mr. 0 while the role of Miss All Sunday will be played by Abova.

New cast members were presented during a Geeked Week event held in Atlanta, along with one of the returning characters, Chopper. Some filming for season two has been ongoing in Cape Town, South Africa, since June 2024.

The official description of the fun and eccentric series reads, “Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew explore a fantastical world of endless oceans and exotic islands in search of the world's ultimate treasure to become the next Pirate King.”

Eiichiro Oda wrote the manga One Piece in 1997, which is the best-selling manga of all time. The story follows the search for treasure by Monkey D. Luffy (Godoy), who is out to fulfill his dream to be the king of the pirates. And taking several fair shares of peril, he recruits an unusual crew and looks for a vessel, as well as sailing some unsafe waters in the pursuit of the Marines and other pirate foes.
