Riverdale: 3 things we learned from the season 4 premiere photos
3. Josie Is Still Part Of The Show
One of the most pleasant surprises to come from the season 4 premiere photos was that one of them included everyone’s favorite Pussycat Josie McCoy.
While Josie has always been a part of the show, the reason that seeing her comes as a surprise is down to the fact that the character is moving to New York City to be part of Riverdale spin-off Katy Keene.
While the fact that the spin-off is set years in the future allows the show to utilise Josie for a little longer, don’t be expecting her to stick around too long as Katy Keene is filmed in New York City, while Riverdale is filmed in Vancouver. And as actress Ashleigh Murray can’t be in two places at once, it’s clear that Josie’s time in TV’s deadliest town is coming to an end.
Given that Josie voiced her desire to get out of Riverdale in the season 3 finale, many fans expected her to be written out during the summer break so that Murray could begin work on Katy Keene. However, now the parent show can hopefully give its most underrated (and under-appreciated) character the fabulous send-off that she deserves.
Who knows, we might even get one more wonderful performance before she heads off to the bright lights of the Big Apple?
