Katey Sagal, known for her roles in «Sons of Anarchy» and «Married With Children,» has been chosen to play Dr. Kureha in Season 2 of Netflix's 'One Piece.' Sagal's involvement marks one of the series' most significant casting decisions. Jamie Lee Curtis was initially approached for the role but could not commit due to scheduling conflicts. The role demands a significant time commitment in South Africa, where the series is filmed.
Mark Harelik, known for his work in «Presumed Innocent,» will portray Dr. Hiriluk in 'One Piece' Season 2. Dr. Hiriluk is a former thief who becomes a doctor on Drum Island. Harelik’s casting adds depth to the lineup of new characters being introduced this season. His character shares a last name homonym with his real name, adding an interesting layer to his role.
