Netflix Selects Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. The role can use their power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and anime.
Escola will work alongside several other fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, including leader the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.
Although this character is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
