EXCLUSIVE: The cast of Netflix‘s One Piece for Season 3 is growing by two, as Awdo Awdo and Daisy Head (Shadow and Bone, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) board in the roles of Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger, respectively. The pair is currently in Cape Town, where production on the third season is underway.
One Piece is Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Japan’s highest-selling manga series by Eiichiro Oda. The epic high-seas adventure follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the One Piece, and become King of the Pirates.
Season 2 of the pirate show promises to “unleash fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line—a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”
