Prom:
We had two and half episodes left so we stopped in the middle of an episode. So when we go back we have to finish three days of one episode that we were filming in March so we’re all going to be significantly tanner… maybe I’ve gained weight during quarantine so I’ll look a little different. It’s like five months. It did make quite a difference. It’ll be very easy to tell. One filmed in March, one in September. — Lili Reinhart to Jimmy Fallon in August.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa gave us a sneak peek of Cheryl and Toni at Prom.
