Ulrich starred as FP Jones, father to Jughead (Cole Sprouse), while Nichols portrayed Hermione Lodge, mother to Veronica (Camila Mendes), and though both saw more positive arcs this past season, with the former seeing a strong redemption arc while the latter was able to reconcile with her family.
“I’m proud to have been part of such a talented group of people, in front of the camera and behind,” Ulrich said in a statement. “But I’ve decided that it’s time for me to move on to explore other creative opportunities.”
“I had an incredible time bringing Hermione Lodge to life and working with my amazing cast, who became family,” Nichols said in a statement, also mentioning she’s looking forward to the next chapter.
“Part of life in Riverdale — and part of growing up — is saying goodbye to people,” showrunner Robert Aguirre-Sacasa said. “F.P. and Hermione will never be far from our hearts. And, of course, they’re always welcome back in Riverdale.”
KJ Apa stars as Archie Andrews in the series along with Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, Sprouse as Jughead Jones and Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom. The series also stars Mark Consuelos, Casey Cott, Ulrich, Mädchen Amick, and Vanessa Morgan.
