Karl Walcott will trifle Clay Walker , described as a “ teen rebirth gentleman’s gentleman ” who “ is very receptive - given in his art and his sexuality , ” and just like his namesake in the original comic , where he is the eventual husband of Kevin Keller , he ’ll have “ an impactful friendship ” with Casey Cott ’s version of the character .
The second bit of casting is a flake more out - there . Hadestown ’s Nicholas Barasch will join the unconstipated casting this season as Julien Blossom , Cheryl and Jason ’s brother . Who , up to this point in the serial publication , has been a creepy-crawly doll .

Their mother , distressed by the red ink of her third child , evoke Cheryl and Jason alongside a horrifying chick she pretend was Julien . retentive tale short , it turns out that Cheryl did not absorb Julien after she takes a chimeric deoxyribonucleic acid test that results in a negative , and the closed book of Julien ’s ghost or even if Julien was ever really real is left up in the melodic line … until now ! Because now he ’s a real son !
And a right asshole , apparently . “ He ’s preppy , rich , and highly title . Handsome , athletic , and cocky , he always take his elbow room , but in the rarefied time he doesn’t — like with Veronica — he makes life miserable for everyone around him , ” the character description provided to Deadline read . “ He often bunt chief with his twin sister , but is also an antagonist to all of our stripling characters , most especially Archie . ”
Is ‘ 50s schoolhouse bully Julien Blossom the large bad of Riverdale ’s last season ? Will he team up with the doll somehow ? Will this show go on to be pants - on - its - head doolally mighty up to the very ending ? We ’ll find out next year , presumptively .
