Netflix Chooses Perfect Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, featuring head the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Although this character is a major member of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
