The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and anime.
Escola joins a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to the screen, including head Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although the role is a key figure of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
