Created by Bill Woggon, the Katy Keene character first appeared in Archie Comics in 1945. She was a model and a performer. Katy’s comics frequently revolved around fashion and readers were encouraged to submit ideas for the character’s outfits and accessories.
Here’s The CW’s brief description of the new series, as well as tweets from Riverdale executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Katy Keene stars Lucy Hale and Ashleigh Murray:
Katy Keene
In a timeless New York City, as enchanting as Riverdale is moody, aspiring fashion designer Katy Keene (Lucy Hale) meets Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), fresh off the bus to chase her musical dreams. Their world is populated with kindred-spirit starving artists, including mysterious socialite Pepper Smith (Julie Chan) and Broadway-bound performer Jorge Lopez – and his drag queen alter ego, Ginger (Jonny Beauchamp). While their climb to the top is rife with obstacles, this found family will stop at nothing to see their names in lights. Based on the Archie Comics characters.
