The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a rendition of that figure reimagined as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and anime.
Escola is joined by several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Although this character is a important part of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
