The CW show, Riverdale, will be dedicating their newest episode to Luke Perry, in memory of his death.
According to Insider, Perry, who passed away from a massive stroke, will be receiving a special dedication on Wednesday night’s Riverdale. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, showrunner and creator of Riverdale, announced the dedication in a social media post. “Our heart, always.” he wrote. “Tonight’s episode of #Riverdale finds Fred doing what he does best — helping Archie. It is dedicated to Luke, as all episodes will be for the rest of our run.”
Perry’s other Riverdale co-stars have shared their own posts and thoughts, honoring the late actor. Lili Reinhart posted a heartfelt poem in remembrance of Perry. “We always expect the earth to stand still. For the universe to grieve the loved ones we have lost, along with us,” Reinhart wrote. “But it keeps moving. Maybe as a sign that we should too. The movement of strangers, like a wave, taking us with them.”
The Riverdale episode will air on Wednesday, March 6, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
