After months of teasing the arrival of a certain human-reindeer hybrid in the next season of its live-action One Piece adaptation, Netflix has finally revealed its take on Tony Tony Chopper and the actress who will be bringing him to life.

 

Today during this year’s Tudum event showcasing all of Netflix’s upcoming projects, the streamer announced that actress Mikaela Hoover (The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) has been cast a Tony Tony Chopper, One Piece’s anthropomorphic reindeer who joins the Staw Hat Pirates on their search for the Grand Line. In addition to Cooper’s voice, a digital capture of her facial performance is being used to create the show’s CGI character.

Iñaki Godoy (Monkey D. Luffy), Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero (Usopp), Taz Skylar (Sanji), Ilia Isorelys Paulino (Alvida), Jeff Ward (Buggy), and Michael Dorman (Gold Roger) are all returning in One Piece’s second season. But the show is also set to introduce a number of new characters from the comics like Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, and Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday.

 

Though Netflix has committed to quite a bit more One Piece, the second season doesn’t have a solid release date just yet. But the streamer plans for new episodes to debut some time in 2026.
