Kyra Leroux

From breakout television roles to chart-topping streaming hits, Kyra Leroux has established herself as a dynamic and versatile presence in today’s entertainment landscape.  Kyra is most known for her breakout role as fan-favourite Britta Beach in the CW hit series Riverdale, based on the Archie Comics. The role, which was only meant to appear in two episodes, turned into a heavily recurring guest star, appearing in almost 20 episodes across two seasons, inspiring the beginning of Kyra’s loyal fan base. 

Kyra is also known for her controversial role in season two of Netflix’s Firefly Lane. Debuting at number one on the Nielsen Streaming Rankings with over a billion minutes streamed, Kyra shines as Lisa-Karen, a possessive, uptight rule-enforcer and president of the AV club, who turns out to be a true friend. 

Most recently, Kyra can be seen in Tubi’s chart-topping rom-com How To Lose a Popularity Contest. Kyra, starring alongside Ginny and Georgia’s Sara Waisglass and TikTok sensation Lil Huddy, plays Aja Fox, a charismatic, loyal best friend, high-maintenance Shakespeare director, and fashionista. Kyra also has a recurring role in NBC’s The Hunting Party as Sam, the daughter of star Bex, played by Melissa Roxburgh. 

In television, Kyra’s credits include the star-studded musical comedy Schmigadoon, directed by the legendary Barry Sonnenfeld (Apple TV+), Brand New Cherry Flavor (Netflix), Once Upon a Time (ABC/Disney), School Spirits (Paramount Plus), Private Eyes: West Coast (Global), Six (History Channel), and Psych (USA Network). In film, her supporting lead credits include The J Team, and Monster High 2 (Nickelodeon), Sugarplummed (Hallmark), and Christmas Takes Flight (CBS). To promote these projects, Kyra has twice been featured on billboards in Times Square in New York City.

Kyra is also an accomplished dancer, vocalist, and instrumentalist. As a dancer, Kyra was hand-picked by legendary director/choreographer Kenny Ortega to recur in his series Julie and the Phantoms (Netflix). As a vocalist, she has recorded an original Christmas song for Hallmark, vocals for many musical episodes of Riverdale and additional vocals for numerous artists. Her voice has also been featured in animated shows such as Lego Dreamzzz, and a teaser for a new show titled Ghost Town which follows Alberta Townsend, played by Kyra, who moves with her ghost-buster Dad to the most haunted town in America. As an instrumentalist, Kyra plays the guitar, piano, saxophone, and trumpet. Kyra loves being able to combine her talents as a true triple-threat on the stage, having recently starred as the titular role of Anne in Anne of Green Gables the Musical at the Western Canada Theatre.

Raised in Vancouver, Canada, Kyra now splits her time between Hollywood North and New York City.  There she studies Meisner Technique with Jim Brill of the Neighbourhood Playhouse, and is a member of the Actor’s Gym, a weekly workshop run by Oscar-winning writer/director Bobby Moresco.  Kyra is also an avid writer and poet, and is fluent in French.
