The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. This character possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and anime.
This performer is joined by a number of fresh additions who will portray the group to the screen, featuring chief Mr. 0, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show 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 program is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
