Netflix Chooses Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and anime.
The new cast member joins a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, including chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this marks a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10, 2026.
