The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions who will portray the organization to reality, such as chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
