Netflix has officially revealed four new cast members for One Piece Season 2, adding key characters from Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga to the live-action series currently in production.
One Piece Season 2 Cast Additions
The four new cast members are:
- Callum Kerr (Monarch) as Smoker - Julia Rehwald (Fear Street) as Tashigi - Rob Colletti (The Many Saints of Newark) as Wapol - Ty Keogh (24 Hours to Live) as Dalton
All four characters originate from Eiichiro Oda's original pirate manga series, which has run in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997.
Anticipation for Smoker's Character
Audiences have been waiting for Smoker ever since the character made a brief but memorable appearance in Season 1's final episode. Dressed in a naval officer's uniform and smoking two cigars, Smoker made an immediate impression without even needing a formal introduction — a clear signal he would play a bigger role in the story ahead.
