Riverdale’s Hayley Law Wants Rachael Leigh Cook To Meet The Pussycats

Riverdale‘s Valerie Brown isn’t just a Pussycat — she’s been a fan for years, and she would love to get a franchise veteran on board for a role on season 2 of the show.

During a recent interview on Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast, actress and musician Hayley Law said she wanted to see Alan M and Alexander Cabot — but that’s not all.

“I know it wasn’t a big hit when it came out, but I love the movie,” Law said. “I think it’s great,a nd I think the way that they played those characters was really funny and I’d love to see a little bit of that in season 2.”

Law said that when she first got the job, her immediate instinct was that she needed to talk to Rosario Dawson, who played Valerie in the feature film, but that she couldn’t make it happen.

“I thought she was so cool in Josie and the Pussycats because I think it’s so weird that I’m playing Valerie because I loved her in that,” Law said.

Asked whether she would like to see somebody from the 2001 movie come to Riverdale, Law thought for a long moment, before deciding on Josie herself.

“It would be cool to have Rachael Leigh Cook be involved with the music — like an A&R or something,” she said.

Artists and repertoire (A&R) is the division of a record label or music publishing company that is responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of recording artists and songwriters — so essentially Cook in this scenario would be playing the role X2: X-Men United star Alan Cumming played in the feature film.

Riverdale is back tonight for three weeks leading up to the big finale on May 11. The series airs on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
