Netflix Casts Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and cartoon version.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to reality, featuring leader Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Although the role is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their recent voice performance 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!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10, 2026.
