Mädchen Amick (Alice Cooper) posted a sweet snap of the cast and crew working on the opening episode of season four, which is mentioned to honor Perry, who played Fred Andrews. The photo finds most of the cast gathered around for a table read, including KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Camila Mendes, and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and a few others seated around the room.

“There was nothing although love, memories and mourning for our beloved Luke as we honor him in our first episode back ❤ #wemissyouluke #inmemoriam #riverdale #S4 #tableread,” Madchen wrote.

In June, Aguirre-Sacasa shared the title page of the episode's script, called "In Memoriam." There, he called it "the most crucial episode of Riverdale we'll do this year."

The cast has nevertheless to share how they'll tackle Perry's passing in the series, however Aguirre-Sacasa previously shared in an interview with ET Online that it could be acknowledged "at the best of the season.

"We knew we had to honor Luke and address Luke's death on the show," Aguirre-Sacasa mentioned. Whenever Luke had passed, we had already pretty much plotted out the end of this season and written the end of this season. Rather than attempt to squeeze something in and potentially not get it right, we thought, 'Let's take a beat and let's figure out really what could be the ideal way to honor Luke and to honor the character of Fred, and let's do it at the best of season four.'"

Whichever the cast chooses to do in remembrance of Perry, we'll be cheering them on as it all plays out. The fourth season is set to debut on October 9.
