Deadline reports that Madelaine Petsch has been cast in the role, which they describe as “rich, entitled and never accountable. A manipulative mean girl who kills with kindness, she recently lost her twin brother in a mysterious accident.”
That accident likely ties into the long-standing reports that Riverdale would be inspired by Twin Peaks: Spooky, subversive and willing to examine what lies beneath the town’s seemingly-perfect facade.
Riverdale is expected to debut on The CW next fall from executive producer Greg Berlanti.
