From producer Greg Berlanti and writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the new Archie series is envisioned as an edgier update of the classic comic book characters.
Apa has been cast in the lead role as Archie Andrews, “a boyish high school sophomore who got pumped up over the summer working construction and is now juggling the interest of several girls, as well as trying to balance his passion for writing and performing music — against the wishes of his father and his football coach.”
Murray will join Apa as Josie, lead singer of the band Josie and the Pussycats. Perry, of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, has been cast as Archie’s dad, Fred Andrews, the owner of a construction firm. Petsch joins the pilot as rich girl Cheryl Blossom.
Earlier, we reported that both Betty and Jughead have also been cast in Riverdale.
