The Cast Of Riverdale Stun On The Cover Of EMMY Magazine

The cast of Riverdale is on the cover of the new issue of EMMY magazine. Ashleigh Murray, Camila Mendes, Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, and K.J. Apa are all featured in the upcoming issue. Highlights from their interview are below.

Madelaine on how Toni has changed Cheryl: “The response has been overwhelmingly positive. People have come up to me crying, saying Cheryl’s story gave them the confidence to come out to their families. It’s wonderful to be on a TV show that connects with its fans. Her mean-girl persona was a façade. She was actually super broken, because she was pushing her sexuality down and not owning who she was.”

Camila on live-tweeting the show: “It keeps everyone engaged and it makes people bond over the show, which is a beautiful thing”.

K.J. on the success of the show: “I quickly realized it was a pretty big franchise. It could either go two ways — it was either going to be a big success or it was going to be a complete [fail]. None of us on the show really realized how successful the show was going to be”.
