Madelaine Petsch revealed as TMZ’s fiery Netflix mystery redhead

Madelaine Petsch is the redheaded star at the center of TMZ’s latest Chix on Netflix guessing game, with the site pointing readers toward her new turn in the Netflix thriller The Hunting Wives.

TMZ framed the mystery around a “fiery redhead” who moved from teen-drama territory into higher-stakes screen drama. The key clue: she appeared on one of television’s biggest teen dramas alongside Camila Mendes.

The reveal is tied to TMZ’s gallery for Petsch, whose name appears with the feature along with Mendes, Netflix, TV stars, photo galleries and the site’s recurring Guess Who and Chix on Netflix categories.

According to TMZ, the actress is now making another splash on Netflix through The Hunting Wives, a thriller that gives the guessing game its current streaming hook.

The setup keeps things light: readers are invited to work out the identity from the clues before clicking through to the gallery reveal. In this case, the breadcrumbs all lead to Petsch.

TMZ also linked the feature to its archive of celebrity photo galleries and “Hot Shots” pages, placing the item in its familiar entertainment mix of star clues, throwback faces and pop-culture guessing games.

Petsch’s connection to Mendes is the main clue TMZ gives before the reveal, while the Netflix title supplies the present-day peg. No additional casting details, plot information or comments from Petsch were included in the post.

The Chix on Netflix feature is part of TMZ’s broader run of quick celebrity identification games, which also includes recent items built around actors, childhood photos and social media images.
