The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment

Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

The platform declared this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the source material and cartoon version.

The new cast member is joined by a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to reality, including head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.

Although the role is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
