The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and anime.
This performer will work alongside multiple fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a major member of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
