Riverdale season 4 spoilers: Lucy Hale to make Katy Keene crossover!

Before Katy Keene premieres in the new year on The CW, the title character is going to be making an appearance on Riverdale. Why do this? Well, for starters, it’s a perfect opportunity for some cross-promotion!

According to a new report from E! News, Lucy Hale is going to be appearing on the upcoming February 5 episode of Riverdale, with the premiere of Katy Keene coming a single day later. With this being said, don’t expect Katy to be visiting Archie and several other characters in their home. Instead, one of these characters is going to be heading off in order to visit here.

In speaking about this further, here is what executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Michael Grassi had to say in a statement:

“Before Katy Keene officially premieres, we all thought it would be super-fun to do a crossover that took Veronica to Katy’s world — New York City — and established Katy in the Riverdale universe … For our first Riverdale/Katy crossover, we couldn’t be more excited that it’s old friends Veronica and Katy — Cami and Lucy — having fun and heart-to-hearts!”

Of course, the biggest reason for the producers to want to do this is to make certain that viewers of Riverdale are very well familiar that there is a spin-off show coming in the new year. This will give them a tiny taste, while also giving them a lot to look forward to. It remains to be seen whether or not this will be a big-time success on the network. While Katy Keene does have a big-name lead in Hale plus also Josie from Riverdale, the character doesn’t have anywhere near the same name-recognition as Archie. It’s a story we’ll just have to take more of a wait-and-see approach on as the episodes start airing. It’s not going to be something you can easily predict far in advance.

If you do love Lucy Hale, note that she’s going to be a part of New Year’s Rockin’ Eve at the end of the year.
