"Riverdale" is going to stay longer on the small screen as CW renews it for another season. New reports have it that Mark Consuelo is joining "Riverdale" Season 2 as Veronica's father.

Mark Consuelo, 46, will play the role of Hiram Lodge in "Riverdale" Season 2. He will be Veronica Lodge's dad, TV Line reported.

Based on the show's official description, Mark Consuelo's character is "a ruthless, handsome, charismatic businessman." He returns to Riverdale to weather a financial scandal that almost ruined him. His return will reconnect him with his wife, Hermione and daughter, Veronica, who is the apple of his eyes.

Hiram has not appeared on the show yet. Mark Consuelo's "Riverdale" character is reportedly in jail awaiting trial after being involved in a Bernie Madoff-esque embezzlement scheme. However, it is believed that he will be acquitted because he will come home and might make Veronica's life more complicated.

However, Mark Consuelo's casting on "Riverdale" may still change. At the time, he is also co-stars on Fox's baseball drama, "Pitch" and "Riverdale" is his second priority. If the former will be renewed for another season, he might drop his role in the latter.

Aside from this, Mark Consuelo has too much on his plate. He recently signed a major recurring role on NBC's "The Night Shift." He is also the co-president of Milojo Productions which will be debuting its Logo reality show "Fire Island" this month.

Aside from Mark Consuelo's potential addition to "Riverdale" Season 2, Luke Perry told Entertainment Tonight that his old co-stars in "Beverly Hills, 90210" might join the series too.

"I think everybody's interested in doing it," said Luke Perry. "We know we'd have a lot of fun getting back together. We just want it to be something good."
