After Ross Butler announced that he was leaving his role as Reggie on Riverdale to pursue Zach on 13 Reasons Why, fans were quickly treated to his replacement: Charles Melton.
Um, hello bae.
Now, he’s on set for season 2, and clearly loving it.
Posting to Twitter, he revealed, “My first day on set with the cast was like opening a Christmas gift you didn’t think your parents could afford in a million years.”
Well that metaphor got us in the damn #feels.
Charles has made appearances in shows like American Horror Story and Glee, but none as large as his character Reggie, who has been guaranteed a bigger story line for season 2.
Show runner, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa even shared a photo of Charles with Ashleigh Murray who played Josie.
“A BIG #Pussycat welcome 2 @_MELTON_ as #Riverdale’s sexy new Reggie Mantle! I can already tease… these 2 are TROUBLE,” he wrote on Twitter.
UMM, INTO THIS!!!!!
Ashleigh has already told E! News that Josie and Reggie will date in season 2.
This is definitely a #ship we can get behind. It’s not the first time Roberto has teased the two as a couple either, posting this artwork on his Twitter last week:
#Bughead may be cute but we think #Rosie will be season 2’s official ‘it’ couple.
