Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. The role has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.
This performer will work alongside several other new cast members tasked with bringing the organization to reality, featuring head Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the lineup as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a significant shift in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
