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 forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. This character has the ability to morph into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the source material and animated series.
This performer joins multiple fresh additions set to bring the group to the screen, featuring chief the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
