The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. The role has the ability to change into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and animated series.
Escola is joined by multiple recently announced actors set to bring the group to the screen, including leader Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of Baroque Works, the persona won’t appear until One Piece the third season. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
