Netflix's One Piece is returning soon with new cast members! 

The streaming giant announced on its social media pages that there are new cast members that will appear in the second installment of the live-action adaptation of the beloved manga.

"New faces, new powers, new adventures! Don't drift away, Straw Hats! We're just getting started," Netflix wrote in a post.

Among the newly added cast members include Daniel Lasker (Raised by Wolves) as Mr. 9, Camrus Johnson (Batwoman) as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn (Warrior) as Miss Valentine, and David Dastmalchian (Late Night With The Devil) as Mr. 3.

Werner Coester (Getroud Met Rugby) will appear on the show as Dorry, Brendan Murray (Raised by Wolves) as Brogy, and Clive Russell (Game of Thrones) as Crocus.

Callum Kerr (Monarch), Julia Rehwald (Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures), Rob Colletti (The Many Saints of Newark), and Ty Keogh (24 Hours To Live) will also be part of its sophomore season as Smoker, Tashigi, Wapol, and Dalton, respectively.

Additional cast members and roles will be revealed at a later date.

In September 2023, Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, the production company behind the live-action offering, said in an interview with Variety that they have "got scripts ready" for the continuation of the eight-episode series. In the same month, the streaming service confirmed that the Netflix series has been renewed for another season.

Based on Japan's highest-selling manga series in history by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece is a "legendary high-seas adventure" that follows the journey of young adventurer Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy).

He sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, One Piece, to become King of the Pirates. But for him to find the ultimate prize, Luffy will need to assemble the crew he's always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.

Godoy will reprise his role as Luffy in the upcoming season as well as Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.
