The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season

The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.

Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and animated series.

Escola will work alongside several other fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, including head Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

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