Riverdale fans had a lot to absorb with this week’s episode, while the hit CW series advanced seven years into the future. The narrative decision has already manifested itself in creative ways, as tonight’s episode, “Chapter Eighty: Purgatory”, visited the new lives of young adults by Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes ), Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) and more. The first jump episode definitely brought a lot of new storylines to Season 5 – and now we have our last look at what that will entail. The CW has released a new preview of “Chapter Eighty-One: The Homecoming”, which you can check out below.
“I think I already knew about the leap in pre-pandemic time,” explained Drew Ray Tanner, who plays Fangs Fogarty on the series recently. ComicBook.com. “So when the pandemic happened, we knew we were going back to filming and that it was going to take that leap back in time. So I was given nine months to grow my hair and grow as an individual. To keep it in the back of my mind every day, while I was going through this life-changing thing. It was a colossal thing – I don’t think anything that big has happened in my life since graduation or something like that. “
“How [an] actor, the best thing you can do is learn from everything that is everyday. The best characters to learn are people on the street and everyday interactions, “Tanner continued.” You are constantly learning. You are constantly adding things to your tool belt. This is the actor’s job, taking life and, hopefully, imitating it in art. So, I was extremely blessed to have [so much time]. As a TV actor, you don’t have a lot of time to do something like that, but it really gave us nine months to realize and be aware of “Okay, this is where we are going with this. How do I build this? And how do I make this character real? ? And how do I make a perfect transition? “It was extremely exciting. It was a challenge, but I had more than enough time to prepare. “
