Netflix has revealed the actress and actor behind One Piece Season 2 characters Nico Robin and Crocodile.
What’s On Netflix spotted a seemingly accidental update to the Netflix Tudum website, which revealed Lera Abova will play Miss All Sunday, otherwise known as Nico Robin, and Joe Manganiello will play Mr 0, otherwise known as Crocodile.
Tudum updated its Season 2 preview page with a new video released Wednesday as part of its Geeked Week showcase, where Buggy the Clown actor Jeff Ward gave a tame behind the scenes look at the Season 2 set. But alongside this came an excerpt on these two new cast members alongside images of them in a slideshow. The proper reveal will likely come during its main event later today, September 19.
Both Crocodile and Robin are major characters introduced to the One Piece world in Season 2, serving as primary antagonists of the Baroque Works agency which Luffy and the Straw Hats must take on.
Abova has appeared in Good Side of a Bad Man, Exterritorial, and Anna, while Manganiello appeared in the 2002 Spider-Man film as Flash Thompson, the Magic Mike series, How I met Your Mother, True Blood, and more.
The pair star in Season 2 alongside a number of new faces including Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Clive Russell as Crocus, Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Ty Keogh as Dalton, and Werner Coetser as Dorry.
Jamie Lee Curtis, who was long expected to play Dr. Kureha after expressing interest herself and co-showrunner Matt Owens saying “at this point we’re writing for her,” won’t appear in Season 2 after all. Production of the show is once again underway and Netflix looks to hit a 2025 release window.
