THE CW's RIVERDALE
  • Pitch star Mark Consuelos has landed a series regular role on the drama's upcoming second season. He will play Hiram Lodge, a ruthless, handsome and charismatic businessman who is coming back to Riverdale after weathering a financial scandal that almost destroyed him. He is there to reconnect with his wife, Hermione (Marisol Nichols) and daughter, Veronica (Camila Mendes), who is the apple of his eye. However, his casting is officially in second position to FOX's Pitch, which seems unlikely to be renewed for a second season but it's still a possibility.
TV LAND's YOUNGER

He will play Jay Mallick, an attractive 40-something editor with a great sense of humor whom Liza (Sutton Foster) meets at a conference and who approaches her to run her own millennial-focused imprint.
