After Riverdale’s Season 2 finale saw Archie being framed for a murder he didn’t commit, “Season 3 starts off with Archie on trial,” according to star KJ Apa, who was on hand with the rest of the cast and producers to give fans a sneak peek of the new season at Comic-Con on Sunday. “I guess we’ll see if he’s gonna go away or not.”
The Comic-Con panel kicked off with a Season 2 recap trailer and a sneak peek at Season 3, which you can watch below:
The biggest news from the panel came with the reveal that we’ll finally meet Jughead’s mother, Gladys, and sister, Jellybean, around episode 8 or 9 of Season 3, and that we can expect a flashback episode featuring the parents of Riverdale back when they were in high school. Instead of casting new actors for the roles of young Fred, Alice, F.P. and the rest of the gang, apparently the kids will be playing the younger versions of their parents for the episode.
