Sorry, everyone\u2019s favorite One Piece fan-casting isn\u2019t happening in Season 2 NetflixNetflix\u2019s One Piece is coming back for Season 2, but sadly one Hollywood star won\u2019t be in the cast, despite a lot of hope and desire for them to join. One Piece surprised everyone when the Netflix live-action version ended up being great. Anticipation for another season of the TV show has been high since viewers binged the first back in August 2023. Fans have been hoping that Jamie Lee Curtis, of Halloween and Freaky Friday fame, would join the project, since the actor had personally expressed interest. Unfortunately, she\u2019s not on-board yet, despite efforts from both sides. \u201cShe loves the show. She has too many films and TV shows that she\u2019s going into production on so our production dates aren\u2019t going to work,\u201d Becky Clements, President of production company Tomorrow Studios, tells Deadline. \u201cShe definitely wanted to do it but she\u2019s got deals in first position, and it just became complicated.\u201d This isn\u2019t surprising, given the trajectory of Curtis\u2019s career of late. Besides the recent Halloween trilogy, she has Borderlands about to come out, Freaky Friday 2 and more new movies on the way. One Piece would be a large commitment, since ideally they\u2019ll want someone who can be a recurring presence, something Curtis might not always be able to do. She was up for Dr Kureha, a rock\u2019n\u2019roll doctor who helps the Straw Hats during the Drum Island Arc. Curtis campaigned for the role herself after noticing buzz from fans for her to play the character. She said she\u2019d \u201clobby\u201d for the part in an Instagram post from September 2023. If she does appear in One Piece, it won\u2019t be as Dr Kureha. Clements adds they have someone \u201camazing\u201d lined up. Whoever it is, they have some job overcoming the Curtis version viewers have in their head. We\u2019ll keep you informed.
