Beverly Hills, 90210‘s Luke Perry plays Archie’s father, Scream‘s Skeet Ullrich portrays Jughead’s dad, and Twin Peaks‘ Mädchen Amick takes on Betty’s mom.
The previous synopsis explains that she’ll be in town because Fred (Perry) decides to finalize their divorce.
Like the comics, the new Riverdale is similarly teen-centric, though the lives of Archie and co. now come with a drama level of 10.
Last year, it was announced that ’80s icon Molly Ringwald (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) had joined the cast as Archie’s mother, Mary, though eight episodes in she’s yet to make an appearance.
