The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bentham. This character possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and anime.
The new cast member is joined by multiple fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, such as leader Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.
Though this character is a major member of the group, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this marks a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
