The CW adaptation of the classic Archie comic series will see the Stranger Things actress make her introduction in a guest appearance as a character named Ethel Muggs for a three-episode arc.
Like most of the characters who will appear on Riverdale, Ethel Muggs is a (rather loose) adaptation of an actual Archie character who dates all the way back to 1962.
A new report from Heroic Hollywood confirms that Shannon Purser will make her Riverdale debut on the third episode of the upcoming freshman series.
She has romantic connections with Jughead Jones (portrayed by Dylan Sprouse on The CW series), but considering the insane changes the show has already made to the Archie universe, it’s nearly impossible to tell where the series will take this character.
