Perhaps the show’s most surprising breakout was newcomer Shannon Purser, who played Nancy’s (Natalia Dryer) best friend, Barb.
As reported by ComicBook.com, Purser will make her debut as Ethel Muggs in episode three, “Body Double.”
The sci-fi series hinged upon ’80s nostalgia, calling back to cinema favorites like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and The Goonies.
She’ll team with silver-tongued vixen Veronica (Camila Mendes) to expose some of Riverdale High’s football players after rumors of a “shame book” begin to circulate.
