Netflix’s One Piece season crew is officially growing. The SVOD giant has revealed some new faces for the second season.
It was one of the phenomena of last summer. To the surprise of almost everyone, the Netflix series One Piece gained millions of subscribers. Given the history of the platform in terms of manga adaptations, this was not yet a given. The involvement of Eiichiro Oda, its creator, undoubtedly has a lot to do with it. Of course, it did not take long for the American streaming giant to order a second season. Today it once again makes its news official.
Agents of Barock Works are ready for the second season of One Piece
Filming for the second season of One Piece began yesterday. Luffy, Nami, Zoro and the rest of the entire gang will soon be reunited for the rest of their adventures. Adventures that will take them to the Grand Line, where they will meet new colorful characters who will make their lives difficult. Starting with Baroque Works, a secret agency made up of crazy and impressive fighters with very dark intentions. With production officially underway, it was only a matter of time before Netflix announced some of the new faces for the second season of One Piece. It’s now ready.
This revealed the first four members of “Baroque Works”, who were iconic at the beginning of the manga. The eccentric Mr. 3 is played by none other than David Dastmalchian, who is known for his roles in the films, among others Suicide Squad and Batman the Dark Knight. Hats off to Netflix for getting their hands on one for the second season of One Piece. His companions will be new talent. Miss Valentine will be played by Jazzara Jaslyn (Lioness, Warrior), Mr. 5 by Camrus Johnson (Batwoman, The OA) and Mr. 8 by Daniel Lasker (Raised by wolves), all of whom have had some appearances in various films and series.
The main new characters of the second season of One Piece, such as Crocodile, Robin, Ace, Smoker, Vivi or even Chopper, are expected to be revealed soon as filming progresses. However, the interpreter of the Princess of Alabasta has already been discovered in the person of Charithra Chandran, a face well known to viewers of the Bridgerton Chronicles, Netflix’s flagship series. However, the streaming platform did not confirm the information, even if she was seen in the company of Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) before filming began.
