Lucy Hale to Play Title Role in 'Katy Keene' Pilot for The CW!

Lucy Hale has landed the role of Katy Keene in the upcoming Riverdale spin-off pilot Katy Keene!

The new pilot will follow four characters from the Archie Comics “as they chase their twenty-something dreams in New York City. The musical dramedy chronicles the origins and struggles of four aspiring artists trying to make it on Broadway, on the runway and in the recording studio,” according to Deadline.

Lucy‘s character Katy is described as “a twenty-something New Yorker who aspires to be a fashion designer. When she’s not working as a personal shopper at a luxury department store, she’s navigating friendship and dating in the big city.”

Ashleigh Murray is reprising her role of singer-songwriter Josie McCoy in the show.

After wrapping Pretty Little Liars, Lucy starred in the CW’s short-lived series Life Sentence.
