Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. The role possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
Escola is joined by a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of Baroque Works, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
