The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. This character can use their power to transform into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the live-action series, differing from the source material and anime.
This performer will work alongside several other new cast members who will portray the organization to the screen, including chief the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With the second season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could signal additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
