'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina': Susie Putnam's gender is not defined at the end of season one and that's iconic
Lachlan Watson portrays Susie Putnam, Sabrina's best friend whose gender is still not defined at the end of season one and here's why that's important
The 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' has taken this Halloween season by storm and the underlining messages of the dark Archie Comics thriller is here to stay forever. Even though the binge-worthy series is about 16-year-old witch Sabrina Spellman battling her half-witch, half-mortal identity, there's Susie Putnam, Sabrina's queer best friend, who is an established protagonist rendering the beginnings of a trans or non-binary storyline.
The character of a bullied teenager is portrayed by Lachlan Watson, a non-binary actor. The 17-year-old North Carolina native, who also appeared on 'Nashville' and 'Drop Dead Diva,' entered the show as a "potential platform" to tell positive stories for viewers struggling with gender identity.
