The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bentham. This character has the ability to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by a number of recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, such as head Mr. 0, brought to life by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though the role is a key figure of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal additional alterations to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
