Netflix Chooses Perfect Performer for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season

The Secret Organization 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 the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a version of that character reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and anime.

This performer joins a number of recently announced actors set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, featuring chief Mr. 0, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
