Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. This character can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside several other new cast members set to bring the group to life, such as head Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
