It's time for the battle of the '90s teen heartthrobs.
Dylan McKay and Billy Loomis are about to face off, people! OK, not really, but Luke Perry and Skeet Ulrich will clash in 2017 as Ulrich is set to guest star on Riverdale, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star's highly anticipated new drama on the CW that is based on the Archie comics.
E! News has exclusively learned that Ulrich, best known for his dreamy roles in '90s classics such as Scream and The Craft, will make his Riverdale debut in episode four as the leader of the Southside Serpents, the gang of criminals that lives and operates at the fringes of town.
While his character will have a history with all of Riverdale's main residents, he holds a grudge against Fred Andrews (Perry) and has a special, mysterious connection to Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Hm...anyone else seeing a resemblance between Ulrich and Sprouse? We're just sayin'!
After causing a bit of boy trouble for '90s teen movie heroines, Ulrich starred in Jericho, the shirt-lived but cult-favorite drama that inspired fans to send CBS 20 tons of peanuts after it was canceled in the hopes of saving it (it actually worked!), as well as Law & Order: Los Angeles. He's also voiced characters on Robot Chicken and guest-starred on Unforgettable.
From the CW's uber-producer Greg Berlanti, Riverdale is a modern-day take on the Archie comics, which will see all of the iconic characters come to life as they explore surreal small town life and uncover the darkness and weirdness that's bubbling just underneath Riverdale's wholesome facade. Think Gossip Girl meets Twin Peaks.
KJ Apa stars as Archie, with Perry playing his father, Fred Andrews. Camila Mendes will play the Veronica to Lili Reinhart's Betty, and Madelaine Petsch, Ashleigh Murray, Marisol Nichols and Madchen Amick round out the cast.
Riverdale will debut at midseason on the CW.
