Netflix Chooses Perfect Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. This character has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and cartoon version.
This performer will work alongside multiple new cast members tasked with bringing the group to life, including chief Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who also joins the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though the role is a key figure of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. With the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
