This study characterizes the depiction of young non-binary characters in mainstream fiction. It presents the results of a close-reading analysis of four non-binary characters from different cultural contexts that appeared in Netflix's English-language catalog in November 2023: Cal from Sex Education (UK), Darren from Heartbreak High (Australia), Syd from One Day at a Time (USA), and Yael from Degrassi: Next Class (Canada). The analysis observed aspects of their identity, embodiment, attitude, context, social interactions, and development.
