Season 3's breakout star is acting newcomer Dua Saleh as the relaxed, cool Cal. The character is from Minneapolis, and upon arriving at Moordale, they quickly connect with Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling), who desperately needs someone to tell him to give himself a break. Cal doesn't have everything about themselves or their nonbinary identity figured out, but they have a quiet confidence that plays well with Jackson's more high-strung personality; their scenes together are some of the most compelling this season. Darnella, with her incredible grace and unshakeable belief in truth and justice, is on my mind and in my heart today. So are the young Black and brown people who are forced into such situations every single day — too many of whom we never hear about at all. so we can't imagine there being bad blood between them.Related: “One of my big fears is that we’re going to forget everything we have learned from this election cycle, which is that we aren’t built to withstand a crisis,” Pérez toldTeen Vogue
