Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and the other writers were too distraught to write Perry’s death into the final scripts.

Production shut down in Vancouver for two days to give cast and crew some time to mourn and to figure out what to do.
A permanent In Memorium end-credit was added to the show and Perry’s character Fred Andrews went away on business for season 3’s remaining episodes.
Now there is a script: In Memorium.
Probably the most important episode of Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honor Luke & Fred. — Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

Where we left it?

And then a flash forward. Is Jughead dead?
We have to burn all of our clothes, including Jughead’s beanie. We’ll wash off the blood in the swimming hole. After tonight, we never speak of this ever. Not to each other. Not to our parents. No one. We finish our senior year, we graduate, and we go our separate ways. That is the only way that we don’t get caught. — Betty in a flash forward.
Riverdale returns October 9th this Fall — at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays on The CW.
