The network announced on Friday, February 8th that the former One Tree Hill star will be making an appearance on Riverdale‘s third season as Edgar Evernever, the “enigmatic leader of a cult-like Farm”. His official character description reads: “As the enigmatic leader of the cult-like Farm, Edgar arrives in Riverdale to spread his teachings and heal the ravaged soul of this once wholesome town.
