The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
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 unfold until season 3, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
This performer joins a number of fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, featuring chief Mr. 0, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though the role is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
