Shannen Doherty will be making an appearance on The CW show when its fourth season premieres.

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has already stated that the first episode of the season will be dedicated to Luke Perry.

The actor, who played Archie’s father Fred, passed away suddenly in March following a massive stroke. His absence was not addressed on the show, with Aguirre-Sacasa saying that the season 4 premiere would serve as a tribute episode.

It has now been confirmed that Perry’s dear friend and former Beverley Hills, 90210 co-star Doherty will guest star — something that Perry reportedly wanted from the first season.

“They were such good friends, and when we were putting together this tribute episode, we wanted to make it as special as possible, and so we asked Shannen to do a pivotal, super-emotional role. She read the script and immediately said ‘yes.’ It’s very impactful,” said Aguirre-Sacasa.

Season 4 of Riverdale will premiere on October 9th.

Luke Perry played Fred Andrews throughout The CW series’ three seasons.

On the 27th of February, the 52-year-old actor suffered a stroke while at his home in Los Angeles. He was rushed to hospital and suffered a second stroke, leading to his death on March 4th.

Luke’s passing came in the middle of Riverdale’s third season, with producers addressing his sudden absence by saying that Fred was away on business.

The devastating loss will be addressed in the forthcoming fourth season.

“When Luke passed, it was such a shock, and it was devastating and we kind of have to deal with the emotion of that, and then you have to figure out everything that comes next,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told E! Online.

“And we’d already pretty much plotted out the rest of the season. We’d written a bunch of the rest of the season, and it felt like rather than try to squeeze something — and for me, something that’s so monumental and so defining… and we didn’t know how we wanted to deal with it. You know, you’re just reacting. So we thought rather than do it quickly or do it wrong, let’s take our time, let’s figure it out, and let’s deal with it at the beginning of season four.”

Riverdale will return to The CW in the fall.

The Riverdale actor passed away suddenly on the 4th of March after sustaining a stroke at his Los Angeles home just days before.

Two months after his death, Luke’s daughter has revealed that the 52-year-old had wanted to be buried in something called a “mushroom burial suit.”

Alongside a picture of mushrooms from the Redwood Nature Reserve, Sophie Perry wrote, “Mushrooms hold an entirely new meaning for me. Any explanation I give will not do justice to the genius that is the mushroom burial suit, but it is essentially an eco-friendly burial option via mushrooms.”

The 18-year-old then told followers to check out the device, which supposedly “returns [the] body to the earth without harming the environment.”

“My dad discovered this and he was more excited by this than I have ever seen him,” Sophie continued. “He was buried in this suit, one of his final wishes. They are truly a beautiful thing for this beautiful planet, and I want to share it with all of you.”

Rest in mushroom peace, Luke.
