Netflix Selects Spot-On Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and cartoon version.
The new cast member joins a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to the screen, including leader Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could signal more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
