The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bentham. This character has the ability to morph into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that role reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and anime.
Escola joins a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to life, featuring head Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given the second season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
