With One Piece now getting a Season 2 for its live-action series with Netflix, fans had been campaigning for the idea of Jamie Lee Curtis joining the series as Chopper’s doctor mentor, Kureha, with the actress even showing interest in it herself.

What to Know for Netflix’s One Piece Season 2
It’s unclear as of this writing as to whether or not Jamie Lee Curtis will actually join the One Piece live-action series in the future, but there’s a noted interest from both sides of the production that could make this happen someday. If she does join the series, she would pop up as part of the upcoming Drum Island arc that was confirmed to be coming in One Piece Season 2 by series creator Eiichiro Oda himself. With the announcement of the new season, Oda confirmed Chopper was coming to the series, and thus Dr. Kureha would be showing up as a result of the talking reindeer doctor’s inclusion.ย
One Piece Season 2 currently does not have a confirmed release date or window as of this writing, and will likely pick up production as soon as the WGA and Actors Guild strikes are settled. As Luffy and the Straw Hats head to the Grand Line, there are lots of potential stories from Eiichiro Oda’s series it could cover. You can catch up with the first season of One Piece’s live-action series now streaming with Netflix.ย
