‘Riverdale’: Behind The Surprise Cameos From Former Warner Bros. TV Group Chairman Peter Roth In Final Season

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the extended version of the series finale of Riverdale. The sun has set on The CW’s Riverdale after seven seasons.

The nostalgic final episode, aptly titled “Goodbye, Riverdale,” payed homage not only to the characters that audiences have watched fight crime, unravel conspiracy theories, travel to parallel universes, and more — but also to the people behind the scenes who brought the show to life in the first place.

While it won’t air in the broadcast version, an extended cut of the finale includes another cameo from former Warner Bros. TV chief Peter Roth, whom the series’ creators credit as one of the champions of the Archie comic adaptation from the early days. “It was Roberto’s idea to have Peter Roth play a studio exec on Riverdale.

When the writers talked about having a studio exec mentor Veronica, Roberto thought it would be perfect for the mentor to played by Peter Roth who has mentored Roberto, Greg, Jon, and myself,” executive producer Sarah Schechter told Deadline.
