HBO Max also announced premiere dates for Megan Park’s The Fallout for Jan. 27 next year and Christopher Winterbauer’s Moonshot on March 24.
The Fallout stars Jenna Ortega, Maddie Ziegler, Niles Fitch, Will Ropp, with John Ortiz, and Julie Bowen, and Shailene Woodley. Bolstered by new friendships forged under sudden and tragic circumstances, high schooler Vada (Jenna Ortega) begins to reinvent herself, while re-evaluating her relationships with her family, friends and her view of the world. Moving away from her comfortable family routine, she starts taking chances with a series of quicksilver decisions that test her own boundaries and push her in new directions. As she spends more time with Mia (Maddie Ziegler), they grow closer, and Vada slowly redefines herself through their shared experiences, leading her further away from that day and closer to living her life in the now.
Moonshot stars Cole Sprouse, Lana Condor, Mason Gooding, Emily Rudd, and Zach Braff. The romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist, is set in a future where Mars is terraformed and colonized by the best humanity has to offer. Two very different college students wind up joining forces and sneak onboard a space shuttle to the red planet in order to be united with their significant others.
Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson & Taz Skylar Board Cast
Netflix has found its Monkey D. Luffy in Iñaki Godoy (Who Killed Sara?) for its upcoming live-action series adaptation of the beloved anime series One Piece.
Also joining the cast as the beloved pirates aboard the Thousand Sunny are Mackenyu (Ruroni Kenshin: Final Chapter), Emily Rudd (Fear Street), Jacob Romero Gibson (All Rise) and Taz Skylar (Boiling Point).
The 10-episode series comes from Tomorrow Studios and One Piece publisher Shueisha. Tomorrow Studios also is behind another live-action Netflix series adaptation of a classic manga property, the upcoming Cowboy Bebop.
One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew as they explore a fantastical world of endless oceans and exotic islands in search of the world’s ultimate treasure known as “One Piece” to become the next Pirate King.
Mackenyu will play Rornoa Zoro, Rudd takes on Nami, Gibson will play Usopp and Skylar will play Sanji.
Veteran Steven Maeda (Lost, The X-Files) is the writer, showrunner and executive producer. Matt Owens (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Luke Cage) is writer/executive producer.
Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios (Cowboy Bebop, Snowpiercer, Hanna) are executive producers alongside Eiichiro Oda, the author of the manga series.
Oda shared a statement about the casting: “We’ve been working with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios on the massive project that is the Hollywood live action series adaptation of ONE PIECE! How many years has it been since it was announced, right? I know, I know! But rest assured we’ve been making steady progress all along! It’s not easy when you’re working with people from different cultures! But it’s precisely that process that can yield something special! For now, we’re able to announce the main cast! Rather, we need to hurry and announce it or else it’ll be leaked, apparently! Hilarious, lol. Their face, the size of their mouths and hands, their aura, the way they carry themselves, their voice, their acting skills, their height, the balance amongst the Straw Hat Crew, etc…! We decided on this cast after numerous discussions involving people around the world! These are the people who will be our Straw Hat Pirates! It’ll take a bit more time to get this show done, but we’ll continue to do our best to deliver a show that we’re confident will be enjoyed by everyone around the world! Look forward to more updates in the future!”
Maeda and Owens added the following: “We are so excited to set sail with this amazing and talented cast! Finding the right people to pull off the looks, emotions, and actions of the iconic Straw Hats was a long and challenging (and fun!) process. Much like the search for the One Piece itself. But we have finally found the perfect fits! They have already begun working very hard to bring these characters to life. You will come to know and love them just as much as their manga counterparts. All of us can’t wait to show you what we’ve come up with! Onward to adventure!”
Netflix also unveiled Wanted posters for each of the stars and their characters. See Emily’s below.

Rudd also details her experience filming that gnarly ‘Fear Street 1978’ ending.
This was a very big summer for Emily Rudd. Not only was it announced that she joined the cast of the Amazon series, Hunters, for Season 2 and was set to star in HBO Max’s Moonshot alongside Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor, but her star also soared courtesy of the popularity of Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy.
Rudd first appears in the second film of the series, Fear Street 1978. Cindy Berman is a Shadyside resident determined to leave the troubled town behind despite the fact that her sister Ziggy (Sadie Sink) is convinced there’s nothing they can do — all Shadysiders are doomed. The reality of their situation comes into focus for Cindy during the summer of 1978 at Camp Nightwing when the Shadyside campers and counselors are targeted by an ax-wielding killer.
Given my confidence that Fear Street is bound to become a genre classic and my sky high hopes we’ll be watching Rudd’s work for years to come, having her on an episode of Collider Ladies Night was an absolute must. Fear Street is officially Rudd’s breakout performance, but she’s kept quite busy since making the move to LA, beginning with a slew of music video credits. While retracing her steps to Fear Street, Rudd explained how she wound up getting her start in that sector of the industry:
“That was something that I actually happened to fall into. A music video was my first acting project out here in LA and at the time, I was working two jobs and I had to work the next day and it was an overnight shoot. I think I got paid $100 maybe for 12 hours of work overnight. And I was almost not gonna do it and then my family was like, ‘You literally went to LA to act. Just do it! You can sleep when you’re dead!’ And so I did it, and from that, the director really loved me and he’s used me for a bunch of other ones, the casting director for that used me for a bunch of other ones, and so it kind of became my thing. I just sort of fell into it for a good year where I was just doing music videos and it was a fun way to keep doing what I loved and make money. It ended up being a lot of fun. It wasn’t anything I expected, but I really enjoyed it.”
As Rudd said herself during our conversation, “exposure is exposure” and “experience is experience,” so it should come as no surprise that those music videos served as a valuable stepping stone to the film and television projects she’d go on to book.
“I didn’t come from a film and television background. I grew up in a very small town in half Minnesota, half Wisconsin, and I just did theater. And so I didn’t really have any experience in front of the camera and so that was a really wonderful way to sort of dip my toes in, get comfortable, understand how things work on sets so that when I actually got the bigger opportunities, the film and television opportunities, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m not completely out of my depth here.’”
Rudd experienced that early learning curve via music videos, but honing ones craft never ends. In Fear Street 1978, Cindy experiences quite the transformation over the course of the film, and it demands Rudd take the determination Cindy has at the start of the movie to get out of Shadyside and redirect it towards saving the people she loves. The work Rudd delivers oozes with assuredness, but sometimes that confidence comes via collaboration. During our chat, Rudd brought up an example of one particular scene where a note from director Leigh Janiak made all the difference:
“The first thing that comes to mind is the scene after Alice breaks her ankle and I’m sort of unloading and being honest for the first time. I think I was reading it in a way that was a little bitter. Not necessarily towards at people, but towards myself and my own choices. And Leigh was able to bring out a softness at the end of that monologue when I talk about my sister, when I talk about sweet Tommy, and it made it less of a ‘I can’t believe I’ve done this’ the entire time’ to ‘I can’t believe I’ve done this but my heart aches for what I’ve maybe done to the people that I love,’ or what they are to me and what I haven’t acknowledged.”
How exactly did Janiak help Rudd get there? With this note:
“[Leigh] was like, ‘Feel you mean it. You mean all of these things. Ziggy was right this whole time and you know it. You’re feeling it for the first time. You’re feeling that you’re allowing yourself to connect with that sisterly bond again. And Tommy was sweet. You genuinely love these people so sink into that.’ And I think they used that take after she gave me that note.”
