READ TIME: 1 MIN.
In a new profile piece with Teen Vogue, actor Casey Cott says his "Riverdale" character, the openly gay student Kevin Keller, will have a bigger role on Season 2, which begins this week.
"I think what's cool about Kevin in Season Two is we kind of explore many different kinds of love interests, the same way that high schoolers do," Cott told Teen Vogue. "Some are people you just meet, but are quick; sometimes you find a long-lasting relationship.
"We kind of delved into a few different kinds of relationships in Season 2," he adds. "I think a bigger, more long-term relationship is coming for Kevin very soon."
Cott also thanks his fans and the team behind the hit CW show.
"As actors, our art form is fulfilling their vision for the show. Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa, Riverdale's creator] has just written Kevin to be such a wonderful light, as I said earlier, and such a phenomenal, three-dimensional character," he told the magazine. "Playing him is such a joy."
Season 2 of "Riverdale" returns to the CW on Oct. 11.
