The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, popular member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. The role possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
The new cast member will work alongside a number of recently announced actors who will portray the organization to life, including head Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Even though the role is a key figure of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the third season. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
