Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch for Cosmopolitan

Cheryl Blossom might not be part of the Riverdale crew’s fabulous foursome, but that’s only because she’s so fabulous on her own. Between her collection of vintage brooches, flawlessly glossed red lips, and uncanny ability to strike fear in the hearts of her fellow Riverdale students, Cheryl is clearly the best character on the show. Remember that time she gave a eulogy at her brother’s memorial service even though her mother told her not to? Iconic. Or the time she burned her own house down? Masterful. Here, actress Madelaine Petsch talks about what to expect in season two and why she thinks Cheryl might finally get an in with Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead.



On what’s to come in season two:

It's got an underlying mystery throughout the first half of the season that does potentially involve some blood. For Cheryl specifically, the dynamic within her family changes. She's lost her brother and her dad at this point. Her mom has always been very controlling of her, so she starts taking the relationship into her own hands and takes the control from her mother.



On Cheryl getting a real love interest this season:

[so far, she’s been] an independent woman and I like that, but that’s not necessarily been working for her by any means. She lost somebody who was the only person who ever showed her love, and I don't think she even really knows what love is right now. She’s never really received it from anybody. She was trying to find herself last season, and now the undercurrent for her is absolutely needing love. She gets an unexpected love interest.

Honestly I hope she joins the little group

After the finale, it kinda shows that she needs some people who actually care about her
