"Cole Escola, the mastermind behind Broadway smash Oh, Mary!, has lined up their next role, playing a non-binary assassin in the Netflix megahit One Piece. The streaming giant announced on Monday (3 November) that Cole Escola, who identifies as non-binary, would be playing Baroque Works agent Bon Clay in season three of the show. Escola is the first new name to be added to One Piece 's season three roster, which is unsurprising given the title has yet to release its sophomore season."
"One Piece is a live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's adored manga series, which is the best selling manga and volume-based comic series in history. Following its 2023 adaptation, the Netflix series hit number one on the streamers' most-watched chart in 43 countries. In its first week, the show was watched by more than 18.5 million viewers, later becoming the most-watched show to debut in the second half of 2023. It won two accolades at the 2025 Children's and Family Emmy Awards."
Cole Escola will play Baroque Works agent Bon Clay, a non-binary assassin, in Netflix's live-action One Piece season three. Escola identifies as non-binary and is the first new cast name announced for season three, which has not yet begun filming. Season two, One Piece: Into the Grand Line, is scheduled for release on 10 March 2026, and season three is expected to begin production in Cape Town, South Africa before the end of the year. Bon Clay blends flamboyant performance traits with meticulous combat ability and superhuman agility. The Netflix series achieved global success, drawing over 18.5 million viewers in its first week and winning two Children's and Family Emmy Awards.
