'Riverdale' Showrunner Reveals How The Show Will Address Luke Perry's Death

We know that Riverdale won’t ever be the same without Luke Perry as Fred Andrews.

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa spoke with ET about the future of the series and how it will address Fred’s disappearance and death in the coming episodes.

“You know, honestly, we are I think all still in shock and are all still processing and grieving,” he says. “We know that we have to address it in some way, but we’re giving ourselves a little bit of time and space before we figure out the best way to honor him.”

He also shared that there are a few episodes with Luke still in them.

“There are still a few more episodes that have Luke in them, so we’re glad to share those,” Roberto added.

“His spirit — which was so generous and wise and vivacious — we hope will infuse every episode, so in my mind, every episode for the rest of time on Riverdale will have a bit of Luke in it.”

Riverdale airs Wednesdays on The CW.
