Netflix's OP Season 2 Casts Katey Sagal, Mark Harelik

As a long-time fanatic of One Piece and someone who’s spent countless hours poring over manga pages and binge-watching episodes, this latest casting announcement has me jumping for joy! Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha? Brilliant! I’ve been following her career since Married… with Children, and she’s always had this uncanny knack for bringing characters to life. The fact that she’ll be playing a role so dear to my heart is almost too much to bear!


Exciting news for One Piece fans on Netflix! The team behind season two of the live-action series has revealed updates about its cast, with key characters like Nico Robin and Vivi still waiting to be filled. Additionally, it was announced that Katey Sagal and Mark Harelik will play important doctor roles in the upcoming season.

Based on reports from Netflix, it’s confirmed that Sagal will play Dr. Kureha, while Harelik will supervise Dr. Hiriluk in the show. This recent news follows whispers about Sagal joining the cast, with many fans favoring her for the role alongside actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Regrettably, scheduling issues prevented Curtis from taking on the part, but Sagal’s acting abilities are more than capable of breathing life into Dr. Kureha.

As a devoted fan, allow me to share some insights about two remarkable characters from the Drum Island arc – Kureha and Hiriluk, who have a special bond with Tony Tony Chopper. In their own unique ways, they are pillars within the medical community. Kureha serves as Chopper’s mentor, guide, and adoptive mother figure, taking him under her wing following the unfortunate demise of Hiriluk, a former thief who transformed into a doctor and raised Chopper initially. Under their tutelage, Chopper flourished into a medical prodigy. They also put Luffy’s crew through rigorous tests on Drum Island, playing crucial roles in shaping the events that unfolded there.

As a dedicated One Piece fan, I can’t help but marvel at the meticulous work being put into the series’ live-action adaptation. There are still some exciting reveals on the horizon, such as how they plan to bring Chopper, our reindeer friend, to life in season two. Moreover, we’re eagerly waiting to find out who will be stepping into the roles of Nico Robin and Princess Vivi. With Netflix dropping this latest update, it feels like the news can’t be too far away now!
