OlderKJ Apa Opens Up About 'Tough' & 'Emotional' Episodes For 'Riverdale' Season 4
KJ Apa is opening up more about Riverdale‘s upcoming fourth season.
Speaking with Extra TV this weekend, the 22-year-old actor dished about working closely with Shannen Doherty for the Luke Perry tribute episode at the beginning of the season.
“It was awesome,” KJ shared “I had a couple of scenes with her. She is a beautiful actress.”
He added that “everything in that first episode is so authentic and so real that it didn’t really feel like shooting an episode of our show. It was obviously really emotional. It’s a beautiful episode; we still have a lot to shoot for it. It’s a tough one, because you have to go back a bit and access that emotion — that is not something that everyone feels comfortable doing… The writers absolutely nailed it.”
KJ also revealed that season four is going back to the “roots” of the show.
“We are following the vibe of Season 1, where it was more getting to know, going deeper into the relationships between the core four and stuff.”
Riverdale returns in October on The CW.
