​​Riverdale is set to feature a throwback episode in the upcoming season premiering in the Fall.

In the episode, titled "The Midnight Club," viewers follow younger versions of the Riverdale parents, and learn dark secrets from when the adults were high school students. The teens on the show are set to play their parents.





Since the episode will revolve around Riverdale High School, the show had to search for someone to take on the role of principal , and they chose Michael Anthony Hall, who played the awkward teen in multiple '80s high school movies, including ​The Breakfast Club.
