For a while now, One Piece fans have been dreaming of the chance to see Jamie Lee Curtis join the cast of Netflix’s live-action adaptation. However, we have bad news: Jamie Lee Curtis will not be part of the second season of One Piece. Although this does not prevent her future participation, but now we do not see her as Dr. Kureha.
In a recent interview, series executive producer Becky Clements revealed the hard work behind the production of One Piece. “This team is incredible in every aspect, from the actors to the production designers, the stunt team, the visual effects team, the art direction team… it’s amazing how many things have to balance,” says Clements. He added that they often had to produce and film multiple episodes at the same time, which necessitated splitting up actors and extras. “We are building sets on stage and also filming a lot on location.”

“I think 900 to 1,200 people work,” Clements continued, highlighting the creativity and professionalism of the costume, hair and makeup team. “Our prosthetist Jako Snyman is inspiring. These guys are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. And this universe created by Oda is so fertile and unique that everyone is inspired every day to discover it. Even the veterans on the team feel childish trying to do this.

In an interview with Deadline, producer Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed that he will not be playing Dr. Kureha. “She loves the series. There are so many movies and TV shows in production that our dates don’t match. He definitely wanted to do it, but he had prior commitments and it got complicated,” explains Clements.

Although fans were hoping to see Curtis in the role, the production continues to move forward with a talented and enthusiastic team. Based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga, the series captured the attention of global audiences in its first season, and the production of the second season promises to maintain that level of quality and dedication.
The magic of One Piece and the future of the series
The world created by Eiichiro Oda is vast and full of unique characters, providing a wonderful opportunity for continued development of the series. The first season was a resounding success, combining the content of the manga with the creativity and innovation of the production team. The Netflix adaptation managed to capture both long-time fans and new viewers alike, cementing its place in the panorama of fantasy and adventure series.
For those who don’t know the first work of the series, Monkey D. The series has been praised for its story, characters, and the complex worlds Oda has created. A live adaptation has been a challenge, but the team has proven up to the task, delivering a product that resonates with fans old and new.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ legacy and future potential in one piece
Although Jamie Lee Curtis will not be a part of the second season, her enthusiasm for the project leaves the door open for future collaborations. Known for her iconic roles in films such as Halloween and Freaky Friday, Curtis was the perfect addition to the cast of One Piece. However, the production schedule and the current term made his participation impossible on this occasion.
The news that they have found an incredible man for the role of Dr. Kureha is encouraging. This shows that the production is committed to finding the best talent to bring fan-favorite characters to life.
The second season of the live action series on Netflix promises to be as exciting and magical as the first.
