Fresh off her buzzy, meme-generating run as Stranger Things’ Poor Barb, Shannon Purser is moving to Riverdale.

Per EW.com, Purser will portray the Archie character Ethel Muggs. And while she has a major crush on Jughead in the comics, Ethel will find herself in a romantic relationship with someone very different on The CW’s midseason drama.

Additionally, Robin Givens (Head of the Class) will recur on Riverdale as Mayor Sierra McCoy, the mother of Josie from Josie & The Pussycats, our sister site Deadline reports.
