Netflix Chooses Perfect Performer for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. The role possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
This performer joins a number of fresh additions set to bring the organization to life, such as chief the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Although this character is a important part of the group, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
