Primary
The series' dominant themes, including its critique of the American healthcare system regarding postpartum mental health, exploration of immigrant challenges, and focus on the disempowerment of women, align with progressive values and a socially conscious perspective.
The series features a diverse main cast, including Black actors in leading roles, which aligns with the source material's inherent diversity. The narrative explores universal themes of parenthood and family through a lens that incorporates cultural and social nuances relevant to diverse audiences, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The Changeling (2023) features a central sapphic romance integral to its horror-fantasy narrative. This LGBTQ+ relationship is depicted naturally and meaningfully, contributing significantly to the plot and emotional depth without resorting to stereotypes or tokenism. The portrayal is affirming, integrating queer identity into broader themes of parenthood and lineage.
The Changeling (2023) centrally portrays transsexual themes through a horror lens, exploring the emotional and psychological struggles of living authentically. The film thoughtfully engages with the trans experience, using fear and challenges as core narrative elements. It avoids stereotypes, offering a complex and empathetic depiction that affirms trans identity despite the genre's inherent anxieties.

The main and recurring characters in 'The Changeling' (2023) are portrayed with genders consistent with their original canonical identities from the source novel. No established characters have their gender changed for the screen adaptation. An original trans character introduced in the series does not constitute a gender swap as they are not an adaptation of a pre-existing character.
The casting for "The Changeling" aligns with the characters' established ethnicities and backgrounds in the source novel and the show's setting. No major character is depicted as a different race than canonically established, thus no race swap occurred.
