The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that role reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
The new cast member joins several other fresh additions set to bring the organization to the screen, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
