The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, unlike the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member will work alongside multiple fresh additions who will portray the group to the screen, including leader Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season likely to portray 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.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
