The “Riverdale” crew’s next musical special is in the books.
Following the Carrie and Heathers-themed episode, “Riverdale” is making the musical-themed specials an annual tradition. That is why a Hedwig and the Angry Inch episode is in the works.

“Musical episodes have become a yearly tradition on ‘Riverdale’, but this year, we wanted to try something different,” show creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said in a statement published by E! News.
“When we heard that Stephen Trask was a fan of ‘Riverdale’, we thought — is there a way we can do Hedwig and still have it tie into the stories we’re telling?” he continued.
The answer was “yes.”

“Doing a deep dive, we figured out a cool way to use classic songs like ‘Wicked Little Town’ and ‘Midnight Radio’ that made total sense and are just amazing and iconic,” Aguirre-Sacasa shared. “And bonus, Hedwig is literally Cole’s favourite musical!”
“Riverdale”‘s Hedwig and the Angry Inch episode airs Wednesday, April 8.
