Who is Evelyn Evernever?

Who is the actress playing Evelyn Evernever on Riverdale?

So far, the actress playing the role of Evelyn Evernever hasn't been revealed, although the casting call for the role stated producers were looking for 'Female, Late Teens – Early 20’s to play Late Teens, Open Ethnicity. Otherworldly, seemingly omnipresent, and a bit odd. (While not required, a possible direction for the role is a girl who is physically reminiscent of “Betty”.)'

Who will Evelyn Evernever be friends with in Riverdale season 3?

The casting call for Evelyn Evernever gave us quite the insight into who she will befriend in Riverdale season 3. According to producers Evelyn is 'eager to befriend Betty, and is surprisingly insightful for her age, but may be hiding dark secrets about herself.'

In the comics, Evelyn Evernever is actually Archie's first kiss and whilst we know he's already dating Veronica in the Netflix show, perhaps Evelyn will attempt to come between them?

Rumours have also surfaced suggesting Evelyn Evernever is actually Archie's kidnapper and now we can't wait for her storyline to unfold!

Who is Edgar Evernever?

Evelyn's father Edgar is also yet to be cast for Riverdale season 3, howvere the casting call for the role is another illuminating one.

It reads, 'Male, Late 30’s – Early 40’s, Open Ethnicity. A recent arrival in Riverdale with his daughter Evelyn, Edgar is a new-age health “guru” who has helped Alice get her life together after the events of Season Two. (An actor with ‘90’s-2000’s pop-culture cachet is a plus.)'

There was a very strong rumour that Lucy Hale, of Pretty Little Liars fame, was set to play the role of Evelyn Evernever in Riverdale season 3, however the actress moved to deny the rumours on Twitter earlier this year.

Writing a message to her followers, Lucy explained, 'Also ,there’s a rumor I’m joining Riverdale. Not true. Love the show, but not true'.

We would've loved it to be true, but sadly Lucy's denial will keep us guessing as to who will secure the role.
