Apa explained: “This is what everyone’s telling me, at least, that this is my prime time and I need to keep working.
“They don’t tell me that I have to work, but I can hear it in their voices when they’re like, ‘This is a great opportunity.’
“I mean, they always want me to work, because they’re earning money off me too.”
With the continued global success of Riverdale, the gritty and subversive teen series is likely to remain on screens for some time yet.
However, Apa and his fellow co-stars appear to be carving out careers alongside their success in Riverdale.
For instance, Cole Sprouse has appeared in teen movie Five Feet Apart, while Lily Reinhart has starred in the Amazon movie Chemical Hearts and Hustlers, and Mendes has featured in Palm Springs and Dangerous Lies.
Riverdale season 5 will premiere on The CW and Netflix UK in 2021
