The episode, titled “The Midnight Club,” will show Riverdale’s adults in their younger years, and reveal a dark secret they’ve kept to themselves for a long time.
Consuelos’ casting was necessary, as the show apparently didn’t have a teen counterpart to fill the role of Hiram.
As of writing, the show still has yet to reveal who will portray Hal Cooper, who fans will remember was Alice Cooper’s high school sweetheart.
Michael Consuelos’ presence was necessary as Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguire-Saccasa informed press at the TCA summer tour (via TV Insider) Season 3 will have a flashback episode that will play out like a twisted version of The Breakfast Club.
