It’s not just Veronica’s dad, Hiram Lodge, who is coming back to Riverdale — Archie’s mom is too!
Archie Comics revealed earlier this week that Mary Andrews, played by Molly Ringwald, is coming back to her hometown for season two.
The last we saw Mary, she was heading back to Chicago, where she started a brand new life after leaving Fred and Archie two years before that.
Now, with Fred getting shot and his fate, up in the air, we knew she had to come back. We mean, Archie needs some kind of parental unit around, right? Right.
Archie’s mother is coming to Riverdale in the upcoming episodes.
In this new footage from 2017 WonderCon, the previously announced Molly Ringwald appears as Mary, as Archie’s dad tries to finalize the divorce.
“Mary left Riverdale two years ago to follow her dreams, but blows back into town in her family’s hour of need. She not only reconnects with Archie and her husband, Fred (Luke Perry), but also her former high school friends Hermione and Alice. Her reappearance coincides with the Homecoming Dance,” Variety originally reported.
