Jamie Lee Curtis skips Netflix's One Piece season 2

Jamie Lee Curtis will not be joining the cast of Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece for its second season. Despite her prior enthusiasm and interactions with the show's creators, scheduling conflicts were cited as the primary reason for her absence. Curtis had expressed interest in the role of Doctor Kureha, an important character in the One Piece saga, but her commitments to other film and TV projects have made her participation impossible. The show's producers have assured fans that they have found an excellent replacement for the role. Curtis is also set to appear in the live-action Borderlands film, portraying Dr. Patricia Tannis alongside a star-studded cast. One Piece Season 1 has been described as an entertaining, yet somewhat hindered, adaptation of its source material.

Although Jamie Lee Curtis will not be portraying Doctor Kureha, the show's producers have confirmed that they have found an "amazing person" for the role. Specific details about the casting have not yet been revealed.

The live-action One Piece series on Netflix is an adaptation of the immensely popular manga and anime created by Eiichiro Oda. The series follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew as they search for the ultimate treasure known as "One Piece." Netflix's adaptation aims to capture the essence of the original story while bringing it to life with a mix of live-action and special effects. This transition from animation to live-action has been a major undertaking, and the show has garnered mixed reviews, reflecting the challenges of meeting fan expectations.
