This acute sense of moral conflict lends credibility and depth to the fictional portrayal, carving out one of those unforgettable performances often witnessed in one's acting career, and Zazie Beetz is a perfect choice to convey the same complexity in her role in season six.

In an interview with VIBE, she offered insights about her character and stated:

"I don’t want to give anything away. I think it’s a very honest season. I think all of the characters are sort of out of their element, which allows things to rise to the surface that you would otherwise be able to, in [both] habits and in comfort, suppress."

She added:

"Here, you can’t because you have nothing to catch you. I think it’s a lot of truth, and I think reflections of where we’re all at as ourselves and as people."
