The Streaming Giant Casts Perfect Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. The role has the ability to morph into an exact copy of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by multiple fresh additions who will portray the group to the screen, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.
Though Bon Clay is a important part of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
