Casey Cott Opens Up About Kevin Keller & Riverdale In New Interview

Casey Cott opened up about the new season of Riverdale in a new interview. The young actor will be reprising his role as loveable Kevin Keller during the show’s second season. Highlights are below.

On season two: “Season two is such an interesting progression after season one. We’ve all probably said the words, ‘It’s so thrilling and dark and mysterious.’ It really gets pretty weird. How Kevin fits into that, you can view that a couple ways. First of all, there will be lots of drama with how we left off with season one, both with Fred being shot and with all the interpersonal relationships — Kevin figuring out what’s going on with Betty, [and] dealing with his father. We really dive into the relationship between the sheriff and Kevin in season two, which is great. Kevin fits in an interesting way. Kind of like season one, he wasn’t really a part of the mystery… until he was directly a part of it. I think the same thing happens in season two. We’re looking to dive into Kevin and Betty, Kevin and the sheriff, stepping deeper into those relationships.”

On his favorite parts about playing Kevin: “Kevin is definitely my favorite character I’ve ever played. I think also it’s the longest I’ve ever played a character because I’ve never done a TV show before. Kevin is such a joy. He attempts to spread joy to everyone around him. I think there’s something so contagious about that kind of spirit and that kind of laughter. He’s just such a bright little light.”
