The newcomers join other recent additions to the cast including Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Charithra Chandran as Princess Vivi, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Clive Russell as Crocus, Callum Kerr as Smoker and more.
One key role yet to be announced is who will be providing the voice of Tony Tony Chopper. The new season is expected to premiere late next year.
