Who Stars In ‘The Map That Leads Me To You’?
Along with Madelyn and KJ, other stars of the movie include Sofia Wylie, Orlando Norman and Madison Thompson.
Madelyn, 26, is best known for her role as Sarah Cameron Netflix’s popular series Outer Banks, as well as for her appearance in Rian Johnson’s 2022 film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
And you probably recognize KJ, 27, for his role as Archie in The CW’s Riverdale show which ran for seven seasons.
I feel sad, you know, it’s going to be really hard to say goodbye to Archie, to Riverdale, to the sets, to our crew,” KJ told Entertainment Tonight in May 2022, discussing the Riverdale final season. “We’ve created so many memories on this show, for both ourselves and for the fans, so it’s going to be hard.”
However, the Australian star said that it was a “perfect” time for the show to end.
“All great things have to come to an end,” he added. “I feel good about it.”
Since Riverdale‘s end in 2022, KJ has gone on to nab several roles such as Songbird, Falling, One Fast Move — and of course, The Map That Leads Me To You.
