Riverdale to air Luke Perry's final episode on Wednesday

The time has come to say goodbye to Luke Perry on Riverdale.

The final episode featuring the actor, who died last month at the age of 52 following a stroke, will air this Wednesday on The CW.

Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa took to social media to announce the pivotal episode.

He wrote, “This week’s Riverdale is the last episode Luke filmed. As always, Fred’s imparting words of wisdom to Archie. A beautiful, true moment between a father and his son. Wish these scenes could go on forever…”

It’s still unknown how Riverdale will handle Perry’s and Fred’s departure.
