Tony winner Cole Escola (Oh Mary!) has joined the cast of Netflix's One Piece Season 3 as fan-favorite Bon Clay (Bentham; Mr. 2 Bon Kurei).

With the second season ready to set sail on March 10, 2026, we've got an update on the third season of Netflix's Iñaki Godoy (Monkey D. Luffy), Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp), and Taz Skylar (Sanji)-starring series adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece that we think you're going to like. With production set to get underway later this year in Cape Town, South Africa, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Tony winner Cole Escola (Oh Mary!, At Home with Amy Sedaris) has joined the Season 3 cast in the series regular role of fan-favorite Bon Clay (aka Bentham, aka Mr. 2 Bon Kurei). "A master of performance and precision," Bon Clay was envisioned as a non-binary character and is described as "dangerous as they are dazzling — a theatrical assassin who turns combat into art."
