In February 2016, she was cast as Cheryl Blossom in The CW's Riverdale,[16] having been pinned for the role since late 2015 after meeting the casting director, who was at the time working on Legends of Tomorrow.[17] The series began filming in September of that year and premiered on January 26, 2017.[18] In March 2017, she joined the cast of the film Polaroid, which was released in 2019.[19] In January 2019, it was announced that Petsch would star in and executive produce the horror-comedy film Saint Clare; but in 2022, Bella Thorne took over the role.[20][21]
In April 2018, Petsch collaborated with sunglasses company Privé Revaux and released her own collection of sunglasses.[22] Petsch has a YouTube channel, stating that the inspiration to start one was so fans could know the real her outside of acting.[23]
