Directed by Maggie Kiley, the Riverdale spinoff is a musical dramedy that follows the lives and loves of four iconic Archie Comics characters — including fashion legend-to-be Katy Keene and singer/songwriter Josie McCoy— as they chase their twentysomething dreams in New York City.
Following the addition of Ashleigh Murray as Josic McCoy, Deadline reports that Penny Dreadful actor Jonny Beauchamp and Saving Hope‘s Julia Chan have signed on for leading roles in The CW‘s upcoming Riverdale musical spin-off Katy Keene.
In Katy Keene, the 20-something Josie McCoy has left the small town of Riverdale in pursuit of a new adventure in the Big City.
Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions will executive produce alongside Aguirre-Sacasa, Grassi and Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater.
