Molly Ringwald has booked a recurring guest role on the forthcoming Greg Berlanti drama, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Riverdale is set in present day and based on the iconic Archie Comics characters. It revolves around Archie (KJ Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse), Josie (Ashleigh Murray) and their friends and explores the surrealism of small town life — the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale's wholesome façade.
Ringwald will portray the key role of Mary Andrews, Archie's mother. Having left Riverdale two years ago to follow her dreams, Mary returns to town in her family's hour of need. She not only reconnects with Archie and her husband, Fred (played by Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Luke Perry), but also her former high school gal-pals Hermione and Alice, just in time for a homecoming dance. She's slated to appear in episodes 10 and 11.
