Riverdale is set to return to UK screens tomorrow (Thursday, 10th October) and it's been revealed that there's even more surprises in store for the gang when Veronica Lodge's half-sister Hermoisa shows up.

Yes, Veronica (Camila Mendes) is getting an older sibling and Riverdale is getting a new mysterious resident this season, who is a private investigator from Miami.

Interesting - especially since Veronica is the reason her crooked businessman father Hiram (Mark Consuelos) is behind bars.

Confirming the news at New York City Comic Con, show runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa announced that the character will be played by Mishel Prada and assured fans that she comes with Lodge traits.

He teased: "She's just like daddy but a woman, so more dangerous."

She penned alongside the pic: "So... I've been spending some time in Riverdale lately :) '' can't wait for you to meet Hermosa Lodge".

The news comes as the teen noire drama dropped a brand-new trailer, which gave fans a glimpse of what's in store for the residents of Riverdale.

The trailer, which debuted at Comic Con in New York this weekend, gives a few clues about what lies ahead for Archie and co.

The fourth season starts with Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) receiving a devastating call about his father Fred.

The character has notably been written out of the show after the actor who played him, Luke Perry, died in March aged 52, after a suffering a stroke.

Sad scenes from his memorial play in the trailer, and we see Archie endeavour to turn the boxing gym into a coaching school for kids.

After Luke's death, it was announced that the first episode of season four, titled 'Chapter Fifty-Eight: In Memoriam', would be a tribute episode to the former cast member.

Speaking to TV Line about the finer details, show runner Roberto revealed the episode would not begin with a recap as former series have.

"After we finished the episode, everyone said, 'You know what? You don't really need that,'" he said.

"The producers also wanted a little bit of extra time, so we took out the 'previously on'... We wanted to let the episode breathe a little."

Riverdale season four is set to premiere on Netflix UK on 10th October 2019 at 8am.
