Netflix has revealed that Charithra Chandran will play beloved One Piece character Miss Wednesday in Season 2 of the live action adaptation.

Chandran is best known for her roles as Edwina Sharma in Bridgerton Season 2 and as Sabina Peasance in Alex Rider Season 2. She also played Anni Kalfus in Star Wars: Visions Season 2 Episode 4.

One Piece Season 2 will see Chandran join as a main character and one most beloved from the original manga and anime, as Miss Wednesday plays a vital role in the Arabasta Arc. She's a key member of Baroque Works who hunts down the Straw Hats as they finally enter the Grand Line following the conclusion of Season 1.

Chandran will star in Season 2 alongside a number of new faces including Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Clive Russell as Crocus, Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Ty Keogh as Dalton, and Werner Coetser as Dorry.

Jamie Lee Curtis, who was long expected to play Dr. Kureha after expressing interest herself and co-showrunner Matt Owens saying "at this point we're writing for her," won't appear in Season 2 after all. Production of the show is once again underway and Netflix looks to hit a 2025 release.
