Riverdale Season 3: Madelaine Petsch on Cheryl Becoming a Serpent and Choni (Exclusive)

ET caught up with Camila Mendes and Madelaine Petsch earlier this month at the Vanity Fair x Max Mara Celebration of Women In Film, where they also revealed a 'superheroes vs. villains' theme in season 3 of the hit CW show.

We want more Cheryl and Veronica scenes!! I miss the friendship they had.

[@audreypoulos]

Diiar100 YAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is exactly what I was thinking!!

[@aeronhoare7706]

I feel like Veronica and Cheryl will be quite prominent because of how Veronica made a move to protect the Serpents and Cheryl joined them.

[@wearefriends9869]

Yeah, same with me I ship Veronica and Cheryl . They so cute and beautiful

[@lizmtz8177]

“Cause she’s Cheryl Blossom... does she needs a reason?” QUEEEEEEEN 🍒🍒🍒

[@thaisarisa6452]

As a bisexual girl, I can say that it means so much that both Mads and Vanessa are so vocal about how much they love Choni and how they're not afraid to talk about more intimate scenes between them. There are some other shows with straight actors playing gay characters who get uncomfortable talking about these things or who simply don't know how to deal with a gay fanbase. Mads and Vanessa are so great tho, they interact all the time with the fans and always speak of Choni so fondly.

[@kylawyla8049]

Yesss same because im also bi🏳️‍🌈💓

[@tashacharleyboy4014]

Travis standing there in the background is me at parties

[@notnova3965]

Tasha Charleyboy lmao same

[@wolflover5266]

Cami needs to have a ponytail more often shes sooooo cute and pretty and everything else nice to describe her ponytail!!!💜💙 Season 3 is probably going to be my favorite! Maybe BCV (Betty, Veronica and Cheryl) to become BFFs!!! Like if you agree! don't forget about choni and ALL the other ships!!! thanks for so much likes!!!💜💙💚😘😍

[@oreo2256]

Wolf lover she actually wears them quite a bit. I agree she's super cute with it!!

[@wolflover5266]

Ariel C yeah! And lilli looks super cute with her hair down so Cami and lilli both looks amazing with different styles!

[@zoechibuye9723]

Wolf lover i just want jellybean to be there but even without them i LOVE THEM

[@micaelalenon204]

They look beautiful as always!!

[@stay7221]

Simply Micaela I see you comment everywhere

[@gurjitkaur7645]

Season 3 needs to have a episode of veronica turning the tables on Hiram like if you agree

[@isaiahowens5322]

Karan Khosa she already did in numerous occasions last season.

[@mudders9523]

I’m sorry Mads but Nana Rose is the #1 Choni shipper

[@hxulqmahxkslal7857]

Mudders Omg HAHAHHAHA

[@haydenzaveri3320]

LOL HAHAAHAHHAHA THIS MAKE MY DAY

[@sava898]

I want Veronica, the Pussycats, and Cheryl to have at least ONE song together. That would be amazing and have it be an original song that's written specifically for a moment on the show. #Riverdale

[@alinahazime4842]

Honestly aMeN we need more scenes where everyone is uniting as friends. And I really want more Cheryl and Veronica scenes because they had a really solid build up to a nice friendship and that sort of disappeared and I’m like BiSh wHy

[@paola_gx4797]

Cheronica as friends only bc i love choni

[@taylortimeless]

For season 3 I’d like to see Cheryl get a storyline and more screen time, decent writing like in season 1, Choni ofc, and some of these plot holes to be filled. Like when Josie and Ethel sabotaged Veronica’s campaign and afterwards it was like nothing happened tf? O_o I remember Veronica mentioning that she was a mean girl at her old school back in season 1. I’d like for her to be tested by someone and struggling to not be the girl she used to be eventually giving in which will make the season hella interesting. For Betty, I’d like to see her internal struggle on her trying not to become like her father.

[@amberp3979]

Agreed. 💯

[@isaiahowens5322]

Taylor Evans I want the Pussycats back together like we saw the other two cats at least twice the WHOLE SEASON. That just makes no sense. I want 1 or just both of the main couples to break up. I'm going to need Kevin to stop being a freaking side character. He was promoted to series regular for a reason. I need more parent scenes. They were easily some of the best parts of season 1. I'm going to need Mrs. Lodge to be a badass parent again. I'm going to need the subject of absences to be addressed. I swear they have all skipped school at least 10 times per character by now. Archie and Jughead's friendship needs to be further explored. They have been on opposing sides most of the time. I'm tired of the Riverdale civil war plot. Last but surely not least, I'm going to need the characters to experience HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEMS. They are literally Sophomores(or Juniors???) supposedly.

[@averageanime7940]

I'm so excited for season 3

[@murraytianne]

I love this show so much and a superhero and supervillian theme is so cool, can't wait to see season 3!!!!

[@rina_bmr225]

We want more CHONI😍

[@blckndred_973]

Choniiiii

[@omlette_leia6721]

Madelaine is bae

[@karleighrock593]

Veronica always knew that her dad was a bad guy since season one episode 9 of the show, she’s just NOW going to do something about it in the upcoming season.

[@nxia1817]

Im so happy that there's going to be a season 3

[@josiekamens5757]

YES MADELAINE YOU ALWAYS SLAY

[@aliyahb7042]

[@kristaking8598]

Who else needed this reassurance for Season 3!

[@loveyagirlypoppp]

Yeah. I love the show! I like Jughead. I hate that Archie dated Ms. Grundy.. I like Jughead and Betty.

[@zoyajanwari4736]

Savannah Gregory ikr Ms.Grundy was weird

[@user-uq4rg7rr7n]

When is saw jughead looking dead I thought why would they kill the main character

[@khushboo1850]

[@bethany8528]
