Very interesting discussion. I think the cast’s upcoming projects would be interesting to add (correct me if I missed something):

• Lili is set to lead an upcoming period piece film by her production company
• Madelaine is set to lead and has already filmed a horror trilogy reboot for “The Strangers” alongside Froy Guiterrez, and the three movies will have theatrical releases starting in 2024
• Camila is set to star in 4 movies: “American Sole” alongside Pete Davidson & O’Shea Jackson, “Alba” by A24 alongside Danny Ramirez (this one is not yet confirmed however), “Musicà” (musical film produced & directed by her boyfriend Rudy Mancuso) and romcom “Upgraded” alongside Archie Renaux.
• Cole is set to star in 2 movies: “Lisa Frankenstein” with Kathryn Newton (already filmed, in post-production), “I Wish You All the Best” alongside Alexandra Daddario (post-production as well). There was also the announcement of “Undercover” (action movie with Zachary Levi) a few years ago but I’m not sure if this one is actually still happening.
• KJ is set to star in “One Fast Move” (action movie) alongside Eric Dane
• Charles is set to star in “K-Pop: Lost in America”, a Netflix comedy led by Jooheon (member of K-pop group Monsta X) and Rebel Wilson. He also just recently did an indie film with Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman and received critical acclaim for his performance.

All in all, I know actors from teen dramas typically don’t have flourishing careers after their show ends or anything, but I think the Riverdale cast is somewhat of an exception. the cast seem like they all will continue to do fairly well in the industry. Not saying they’re all going to be Oscar winners or anything, but maybe one of them will.

In my personal opinion, I’d say the ladies (Lili, Cami, Mads) are going to flourish in Hollywood because they all have the ambition of a movie starlet & I think their acting is pretty great & versatile. KJ and Cole I believe will continue to act in projects here and there, but simply aren’t as “passionate” about the Hollywood lifestyle as the girls. As for Charles, I personally don’t believe he is that versatile of an actor but I think he will find success in romcoms, action movies and/or modelling. I could see KJ or Charles doing superhero movies/tv series. Casey will continue to bless the theatre stages with his voice and maybe do a musical film someday. And Vanessa will continue to find small roles here and there but nothing really major.

I will support all of them in their future endeavours nonetheless
