Riverdale's Luke Perry Tribute First Look Will Make You Extremely Emotional

The Riverdale cast is putting everything they have into the series' upcoming tribute to Luke Perry.


Perry passed away at just 52 after suffering a stroke earlier this year, and the Riverdale crew has been absolutely devastated by the loss ever since. He portrayed Archie's (KJ Apa) father Fred Andrews, a constant source of inspiration for the character. Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa previously reported that the show could be honoring Perry with an episode serious about him called "In Memoriam." The episode will act because the show's season four premiere, and is set to air this October.


"In Memoriam" will double as a tribute to Perry along with trim some light on how the series will deal with Fred Andrews' absence going forward, as no one has divulged just although how the cast will be carrying on without him. Right now, new pictures of the tribute episode have surfaced, revealing what appear to be some emotional scenes that will have you reaching for tissues again.


Archie holding his apparently grieving mother is an image that will stick with you long right following the premiere has aired.


But it looks as though the episode may have its bright spots as well, judging by this particular shot. A little bit light in the darkness is certainly going to be good for those still missing their fallen friend.


Previously, Aguirre-Sacasa called the upcoming "In Memoriam" tribute "the very crucial episode" of Riverdale the cast will create this year, "if not ever."


"Thankful for this possibility to honor Luke & Fred. ❤️🏆💎👨🏻‍💻," He tweeted. It's not clear just however how the cast plans to explain Fred Andrews' exit nor how they'll honor Luke himself, nevertheless we can't wait to be able to see the tender moments unfold.
