According to US Weekly, Ripa is set to play Mrs. Mulwray, described as “a beautiful, icy femme fatale who gets caught up in a conspiracy that’s much bigger than she initially realized.” As yet, there’s no indication as to which episode she’ll appear.
With tensions between the North and Southside at an all-time high—stoked by Hiram Lodge with the help of Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton), and intensified with the Black Hood’s unexpected re-emergence—a civil war seemed imminent. And, indeed, after a brief respite during which everyone came together to put on CARRIE the Musical, directed by Kevin Keller (Casey Cott), season two built to a riot that brought out the worst (and best) of Riverdale and its citizens, and culminated in the shocking arrest of one of our main characters. In season three, it’s the start of Junior year and the gang is forced to think about something new—their future. But with Hiram now in control of the Southside, Archie on trial for murder, and complicated romantic relationships forming, fans can expect a gripping start to the new season.
Riverdale season 3 airs on Wednesdays in the US on The CW and on Thursdays in the UK on Netflix.
