“There was nothing but love, memories and mourning for our beloved Luke as we honor him in our first episode back,” Mädchen Amick, who plays Alice Cooper on the TV drama, posted Monday on Instagram alongside a photo of a table read.

In June, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who created the CW series, revealed the fourth season’s premiere, titled “In Memoriam,” will honor Perry’s memory.

“Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honor Luke & Fred,” Aguirre-Sacasa tweeted, also referencing Perry’s character Fred Andrews.

Perry died in March following a massive stroke at the age of 52. His final episode of “Riverdale” aired in April.
