When Riverdale’s fourth season kicks off later this year on The CW, it’ll start with some kind of episode-long tribute to Luke Perry—who died from a major stroke back in March and had played the father of KJ Apa’s Archie on the show since the beginning. The Riverdale team made that announcement a while back, but at this afternoon’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, they also revealed that they’ll be getting some help with their Luke Perry tribute in the form of his friend and Beverly Hills 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty. We don’t know who she’s playing, but apparently it’s a “pivotal, super emotional role” that will be “very impactful.”
