The Riverdale TV series standout and Hustlers movie actress, 25, takes on a role with a parallel-lives twist in Look Both Ways (Aug. 17 on Netflix). The film follows her character, Natalie, through two divergent paths, one in which she discovers she’s pregnant, and the other following her plan to move to pursue a career.

What appealed to you about the concept of parallel realities? I remember finishing the script and feeling a sense of comfort that Natalie had a beautiful journey in both lives. As someone with a lot of anxiety and a lot of decisions to make, there was comfort in knowing that what is meant to be for you will happen. Your life can play out in multiple ways.

Did you approach each Natalie differently? I didn’t really look at them as two different people. As far as who she was at the core, she’s the same girl. She just had to grow up faster and sacrifice more as a mother.

Riverdale is coming to an end. What does that show mean to you? I started the show when I was 19. When it ends, I’ll be 26 and still have my whole life ahead of me. I’m very thankful for what it’s given me. It will be incredibly bittersweet when it’s over, but I’m excited to see what my life looks like outside of the show.

Is there something other than acting that you’re passionate about? I’ve been really tapping into my own spirituality the last two years, which was very much kicked off by COVID and forced introspection. I have enjoyed exploring that side of life and finding other people who share the same views and talking about it. It’s kismet that I did a movie about parallel lives when I’m very much into the universe and quantum leaping.
