Roberto Aguirre Sacasa has announced two new cast members who will be joining Ashleigh Murray in Katy Keene. Jonny Beauchamp and Julia Chan will play Ginger Lopez and Pepper Smith in the Riverdale spin-off.
“By day, Jorge works at his family’s bodega. By night, his drag alter ego Ginger bartends and performs at a local club. Jorge always has aspired to be a Broadway performer, but he’s now looking to take his drag career to the next level. Pepper Smith, on the other hand, is a New York City ‘It Girl’ who is at the epicenter of all things trendy. As the funny, magnetic life of the party, she dreams of opening her very own version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. But behind all the outrageous noise, no one quite knows where she gets all her money — or if she even has any.
Now, we wait to see who will be playing Katy. Any theories?
