Riverdale Cast Posts Video Supporting Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's Father

Before we take a look at the preview for this week's episode of The CW's Riverdale, we wanted to share a video that the cast put together to show their love and support to showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. If you haven't heard, Aguirre-Sacasa and his family spent two months search for the whereabouts of his father, Francisco Aguirre-Sacasa, who was incarcerated over the summer for his outspoken criticism of Nicaragua leader President Daniel Ortega. The video is meant to bring international attention to the matter, especially at a time when Aguirre-Sacasa and his family have learned that Francisco has been sentenced for treason and conspiracy.

"This video means everything to me. I am blown away by the love and support from my RIVERDALE family, the best cast and crew on the planet. This means everything to me, my mom, my brother, and my sister," Aguirre-Sacasa wrote in the caption to his Instagram post sharing the video from the cast. "Getting the word out about what's been happening in Nicaragua to my dad and so many others fighting for freedom and democracy is vital and may be life-saving. Follow this link below to raise your voice in opposition to the outrageous violation of human rights being perpetrated against many innocent Nicaraguans. My heart goes out to all the families who have had their loved ones incarcerated unjustly by the Ortega regime." Now here's a look at the video that was released earlier today:

While there are a number of important storylines in play this week for Veronica (Camila Mendes), Toni (Vanessa Morgan), Tabitha (Erinn Westbrook), and others, this week's episode is all about the return of Josie & The Pussycats. That's right, Riverdale and Katy Keene fans, Ashleigh Murray's Josie McCoy is back in town, and to make it even more special? Murray's on-screen mom Robin Givens (Sierra McCoy) will be at the helm for her return episode. But what was it that caused Josie to ditch her world tour? It looks like it's going to take some serious quality time with Valerie (Hayley Law) and Melody (Asha Bromfield) to get to the truth- as you're about to see in the following preview images:

Now here's a look at the overview, promo trailer, and new sneak preview for "Chapter Ninety-One: The Return of the Pussycats":
