Madelaine Petsch, known for her role as Cheryl Blossom on “Riverdale,” spent six months after the show ended rediscovering things she enjoys in life and experimenting with her appearance. She is now working on a horror film trilogy called “The Strangers: Chapter 1,” where she plays the lead character, Maya. The movie was shot in Slovakia and directed by Renny Harlin. Petsch found the experience both challenging and fun, as she worked closely with the director and producer to rewrite scenes and bring the story to life.
Despite her busy filming schedule, Petsch managed to explore Slovakia and Vienna, where she discovered new places and enjoyed shopping at high-end outlets. Known for her fashion sense, Petsch has dazzled at Paris Fashion Week and is known for curating elevated classic looks in her everyday style. When she’s not working, Petsch enjoys vegan cuisine and promoting veganism through her work and social media platforms. She believes in encouraging others to eat less meat and supports the “reducetarian” movement.
Petsch has also been open about her struggles with anxiety, particularly in dealing with negative comments on social media after gaining fame from “Riverdale.” She emphasizes the importance of creating boundaries and taking time for self-care, even though she finds it challenging to slow down. Despite her anxiety, Petsch enjoys travelling and finds solace in reflection and relaxation. With a love for creativity, she often brings books like “The Artist’s Way” on her travels to help her stay inspired and engaged as an artist.
As Petsch’s career continues to grow post-“Riverdale,” she remains close with her former co-stars and considers them family. She has big aspirations for her future projects, including venturing into comedy and drama, as well as expanding her newly launched production company. Petsch’s dedication to her craft shines through in her work ethic, and she expresses a desire to continue exploring new opportunities and challenges in the entertainment industry. With a passion for what she does, Petsch is determined to keep evolving and pushing herself creatively in her career.
