The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. The role possesses the power to transform into an exact copy of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola will work alongside a number of fresh additions who will portray the group to reality, including chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Though the role is a important part of Baroque Works, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
