Riverdale S3 Enlists Anthony Michael Hall for Flashback Episode
The third season of The CW’s Riverdale will feature a flashback episode titled, “The Midnight Club,” which will pay tribute to The Breakfast Club. Fittingly, the episode will guest star Anthony Michael Hall, who famously played the character of Brian R. Johnson (aka the Brain) in the iconic ’80s teen film.
Hall will play the part of Riverdale High Principal Featherhead. He will also be the second Breakfast Club alum to join the Riverdale cast as a guest star, with the first being Molly Ringwald, who plays Mary Andrews (Archie’s mother).
