"Trinkets" breakout star Kiana Madeira has proven time and time again that she can do it all: comedy, drama, romantic comedies, and now action. From leading the cast in Netflix's horror film trilogy "Fear Street," to the box-office hits, "After We Fell" and "After Ever Happy," to the award-winning TIFF favorite, "Brother" which made its theatrical release in Canada and the US in 2023.

In early 2023, Madeira starred as the lead in the action romance, "Perfect Addiction," as boxing trainer Sienna Lane who discovers that her boyfriend Jax, the reigning champion, has been cheating on her. She sets out to get revenge by training the one man capable of dethroning him: his arch-nemesis, Kayden. "Perfect Addiction" was released internationally in February and domestically later in the year.

Born in Toronto and raised in the suburbs of Mississauga, Madeira had her sights set on one thing as a child: to act alongside Danny Zuko in the hit 1978 movie "Grease." Although that part of her dream was unrealistic, her desire to star on the big screen never faltered. With the support of two young parents, she began auditioning at ten and got her first break in a series of local educational films that same year. Since then, Madeira went on to star in Family Channel's sitcom series "Really Me," YTV's "the Macdonald Hall" film trilogy, and multiple Disney Channel Original Movies, including "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars," "Bad Hair Day," and "The Swap." Additional credits include Facebook Watch's "Sacred Lies," CW's "The Flash" and the 2019 thriller "She Never Died."
