The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an exact copy of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and anime.
This performer joins multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to life, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a key figure of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
