The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the original manga and anime.
Escola is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could signal more adjustments to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
