Final farewell


23 April 2019

This week's instalment of Riverdale is set to be particularly emotional, with Luke Perry's final scenes airing this episode.

Perry passed away, aged 52, in March this year after suffering a massive stroke.

Showrunner Robert Aguirre-Sacasa declared earlier that this season of Riverdale would be dedicated to his memory, with the star's sudden passing sending shockwaves through the cast and fans of the show.

Perry's character Fred Andrews "imparts words of wisdom to Archie" in his last scenes, according to Aguirre-Sacasa. 

The episode, titled "Chapter Fifty-Four: Fear the Reaper", airs on Wednesday in the US.
