Drew Ray Tanner Promoted to Series Regular on Riverdale

Get ready to see more Fangs! Drew Ray Tanner is now a series regular on The CW’s Riverdale, according to E!.

Tanner’s character Fangs Fogarty debuted way back in Season 2! He’s been recurring since then, but now joins the regular cast. He found love in Season 4 with Kevin (Casey Cott), and there was that cult business. It’s very likely he will be one the characters to make the upcoming time jump!

Season 5 of Riverdale will first complete Season 4. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the last 3 episodes of Season 4 will now be the first 3 of Season 5. This will cover prom and graduation. Then, the show will skip ahead 7 years.

Series creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa speaks on Tanner’s longevity and new title in the new season.”Drew’s such a great guy and terrific actor, and has been with Riverdale since season two, making the character of Fangs Fogarty a fan favorite. We’re all thrilled he’s joining us for season five as a series regular, living with on-again, off-again boyfriend Kevin Keller and Serpent Queen Toni Topaz. Also happy to announce that we’ll see more of Drew SINGING!“
