A lot of new characters are coming to town (literally) like Jughead’s mother and sister Jellybean.
There is also a father-daughter combo joining the cast and this combo could mean trouble for the Cooper family.
How do we know? That Hashtag Show spotted a casting call for the following two character descriptions:
[EVELYN EVERNEVER] Female, Late Teens – Early 20’s to play Late Teens, Open Ethnicity. Otherworldly, seemingly omnipresent, and a bit odd. She’s eager to befriend Betty, and is surprisingly insightful for her age, but may be hiding dark secrets about herself. (While not required, a possible direction for the role is a girl who is physically reminiscent of “Betty”.) MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR.
[EDGAR EVERNEVER] Male, Late 30’s – Early 40’s, Open Ethnicity. A recent arrival in Riverdale with his daughter Evelyn, Edgar is a new-age health “guru” who has helped Alice get her life together after the events of Season Two. He’s attractive, in a neighborly way, and charismatic—a wise, comforting presence. (An actor with ‘90’s-2000’s pop-culture cachet is a plus.) MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR.
As you might remember, at the end of season 2 Polly tells Alice that she knows of a man at the farm where she’s been staying who can “help her” after Hal a.k.a. The Black Hood gets arrested.
Alice accepts and the scheming Polly suspiciously sips her tea.
This Edgar very much matches the description, yet we don’t get the feeling he is going to “help”.
Are you as curious as we are?
Stay tuned for more information!
