According to Deadline, it has been announced that Katey Sagal (The Big Bang Theory) is set to play Dr. Kureha, skilled doctor who resigns on Drum Island. With this information, fans of the shows could speculate that Tony Chopper could be making an appearance in the upcoming season.This role was originally set for Jamie Lee Curtis (Borderlands). However, according to a previous mxdwn post, the character’s script was already being developed. Curtis’ future projects made it difficult for her to find an opening in the series. Mark Harelik (Jurassic Park III) will join Sagal and play Dr. Hiriluk.
Sagal and Harelik aren’t the only additions to the new season; as stated in an mxdwn post, viewers will also see Daniel Lasker (Raised by Wolves) as Mr. 9, Camrus Johnson (Batwoman) as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn (Professional Lioness) as Miss Valentine and David Dastmalchian (Dune) as Mr. 3.
