Netflix Casts Perfect Performer for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. This character has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and anime.
The new cast member will work alongside several other recently announced actors who will portray the organization to life, featuring head Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
