The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
This performer joins a number of new cast members tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, featuring head the main antagonist, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
