Just because the "Rivervale" storyline might be wrapping up tonight with the 100th episode of The CW's Riverdale doesn't mean this season is even close to being done delivering creepy mysteries to keep viewers' glued to the screen. In this case, we have the casting of Chris O'Shea (Netflix's You) as a mysterious new recurring character moving to Riverdale… and not wasting any time making some questionable moves once he gets there. O'Shea's Percival Pickens is the town's newest resident. Although he presents as charming (and is), Percival's also manipulative, powerful, and increasingly dangerous as he comes into conflict with our characters- most especially Archie. A descendent of one of Riverdale's founding fathers, General Pickens, Percival wants to turn Riverdale into a "utopia" -and it's a dark agenda he'll pursue quietly but ruthlessly.
