On March 4th, the World was in shock when it was announced that Luke Perry passed away from a massive stroke that he suffered a few days beforehand. Some of the most saddened people were his co-stars on Riverdale. Even though there were a few episodes left to shoot for the season, the producers decided to wait until the 4th season to handle his untimely passing.
Roberto Aguirre Sacasa announced that they will be handling Fred Andrews’ death in the season premiere. He wrote, “Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honor Luke & Fred. ❤️🏆💎👨🏻💻”
Get the tissues ready by October 9th because I am sure the tribute will be a real tearjerker. A proper sendoff for a man who loved by everyone.
