Find Out Who Will Be Playing Jughead’s Mom and Sister in this Coming Season of Riverdale

Big casting news was made at New York Comic Con today, October 7. It was announced today that Gina Gershon and Trinity Likins had joined the cast of Riverdale!

The duo will be playing the mother and sister to everyone’s favorite Serpent, Jughead Jones. Gina Gershon will play Jughead’s mother, Gladys Jones, a “businesswoman” who runs the salvage yard (chop shop) that doubles as a Serpent compound, and the Serpents all snap to attention when she gives them an order. A Serpent with a GED, she acts as Fagin to a crew of teenaged car parts thieves.

Trinity Likins is set for the role of Jughead’s sister, Jellybean “JB” Jones. She is wise beyond her years, and her favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. Jellybean lives with her biker mom in Toledo where they run scams to make ends meet. And like mother like daughter: Jellybean — who goes by JB now — is quite the little con artist herself.

The two will make their first appearance on the show during the December 21 episode. Sounds like their appearance will lead to some interesting conflict in the second half of the season.

Riverdale will premiere its new season on Wednesday, October 10, at 8/7c on The CW.
