Riverdale: Aguirre-Sacasa Teases Reunion for Ashleigh Murray's Josie

Less than two days after Riverdale creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa teased that there would be more crossovers between the long-running CW series and the canceled spinoff Katy Keene, it looks like one of our calls might be coming true. In a social media post on Monday, Aguirre-Sacasa shared some kind words for Riverdale and Katy Keene star Ashleigh Murray aka Josie McCoy in honor of her birthday before wrapping up with one of his patented cliffhanger teaser lines, "Can't wait for what's coming next, starting with…A BIG REUNION!!!". Could this mean that Josie's coming back to the series full-time post-time jump? Ae we also looking for her to get the Pussycats back together? We already know that there's some kind of "Back to School" event taking place after the time jump kicks in so there are any number of ways of getting Josie back into the mix.

Here's a look at Aguirre-Sacasa's Instagram post offering Murray some serious birthday wishes before dropping that ten-ton "reunion" news:

And in Camilla Mendes' "Senior Year Time Capsules" entry, the actress offers her thoughts on what Veronica's learned since arriving as the "new girl" in Riverdale and how that might help (or hinder) her in the future:
