Despite there only being a few days until its third season premiere, Riverdale is continuing to fill out its cast – as it’s now been confirmed that we’ll be introduced to Jughead’s mum and sister this season…
Beloved 90s stars seem to find themselves cast as parents on Riverdale, and the trend continues as it’s now been confirmed that Showgirls star Gina Gershon will make an appearance as Jughead’s (played by Cole Sprouse) mum, Gladys.
According to the press release Gladys is “a ‘businesswoman’ who runs the salvage yard (chop shop) that doubles as a Serpent compound, and the Serpents all snap to attention when she gives them an order. A Serpent with a GED, she acts as Fagin to a crew of teenaged car parts thieves.”
They’ve also cast Trinity Likins as Jellybean Jones, Jughead’s sister and Gladys’ daughter, who is said to be “wise beyond her years, and her favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. Jellybean lives with her biker mom in Toledo where they run scams to make ends meet. And like mother like daughter: Jellybean — who goes by JB now — is quite the little con artist herself.”
Riverdale season 3 will air on The CW on Wednesday 10th October and debut on Netflix UK the following day.
