'Riverdale' Releases Official Synopsis For Luke Perry Tribute Episode

The CW has released the official summary for Riverdale‘s season four premiere episode, which is a tribute to Luke Perry, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

“A FAREWELL TO FRED ANDREWS,” the summary starts out. “As the residents of Riverdale prepare for its upcoming Independence Day parade, Archie (KJ Apa) receives a phone call that will change the rest of his life forever.”

KJ opened up in a recent interview about how Luke‘s legacy will continue on the series and in him.

“It’s not every day you come across a guy like Luke,” KJ said. “Luke is the kind of person who did everything he can to make whoever you are, no matter how big or small you are, feel comfortable and feel welcome. It’s hard to kind of put into words how that makes me feel.”

“He would call my parents every week and keep them updated on how I’m doing,” KJ continued. “He and my dad were always texting each other. I wish I could be like that.”

Riverdale returns on Wednesday, October 9th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
