Netflix Selects Perfect Performer for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. The role can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and animated series.
Escola is joined by several other recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, featuring head Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.
Although Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a major departure in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10, 2026.
