Riverdale Adds Mark Consuelos to Play Veronica’s Dad in Season 2

While season 1 of Riverdale has focused on Veronica’s father being incarcerated, it looks like season 2 has other plans for his father. Mark Consuelos has signed on to play Hiram Lodge on The CW’s popular Archie reboot. His debut will Season 2 and is set to join the cast as a series regular.

However, there is a catch to this signing, Consuelos is currently Fox’s baseball drama Pitch as general manager Oscar Arguella, and his Riverdale casting is in second position to Pitch, so he would drop the Riverdale role if Pitch is renewed for a second season.
