Looks like Jenna Ortega isn’t the only Wednesday on Netflix anymore! The streamer announced today that Charithra Chandran, best known to Netflix audiences as Edwinda Sharma from Bridgerton Season 2, has joined the cast of One Piece Season 2 in the role of Miss Wednesday. In the manga’s Arabasta Saga arc, Miss Wednesday is a Baroque Works agent who initially runs afoul of the Straw Hat Pirates, until some new information about her loyalties comes to light.
The news comes at the end of nearly a week full of announcements about the hit live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda‘s long-running manga. On Tuesday, Oda kicked things off, announcing that the rest of the week would bring with it exciting casting updates as production on Season 2 is underway on South Africa. Wednesday brought with it the news that Katey Sagal and Mark Harelik were cast as Drum Island’s Dr. Kureha and Dr. Hiriluk respectively, while on Thursday it was revealed that Never Have I Ever‘s Sendhil Ramamurthy was cast as Arabasta’s king, Nefertari Cobra.
