Netflix Casts Spot-On Performer for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.
The new cast member is joined by a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, such as chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although the role is a important part of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
