The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season

Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

Netflix announced recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. This character possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and animated series.

The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions set to bring the group to reality, including chief Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
