Netflix Selects Ideal Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the source material and anime.
This performer will work alongside several other new cast members who will portray the organization to the screen, such as chief the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a major member of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. In addition to their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
