Madelaine Petsch Chats Season Two Of Riverdale & Cheryl In New Interview

Madelaine Petsch divulged more secrets from the upcoming season of Riverdale in a new interview. The young actress will be reprising her role as Cheryl Blossom during the second season. Highlights are below.

On her favorite time of year: “From October to Jan. 1 is, like, the best time of the year for me. I love Halloween, I love Thanksgiving, I love Christmas, I love New Year’s. It’s like, what more could you want in life?”

On Cheryl: “It’s very obvious that [Cheryl is] a broken little girl who just needs love. Who hasn’t been in that part of their life, trying to figure out who they are? She fulfills the artist inside of me. I’ve got so many different emotions underneath the surface at any given moment as her.”

On the second season: “There is an undercurrent of a mystery for the first half of the season that may or may not involve blood being shed — may or may not. Cheryl gets an unexpected love interest in season two, and Cheryl’s undercurrent for the season is needing love. The dynamic shifts between her and her mother — she’s standing up to the abuse. Cheryl does go through a couple dark things towards the beginning of the season and she does get a little colder and a little meaner from those things.”
