Sprouse felt drawn to the character of Jughead. "It was funny, I was given Archie to read, at first," he told Collider. "Before I auditioned, there was a scene that he does with Jughead, and I wasn't too familiar with the characters, at that point. So, I read Jughead and I was thinking, 'Oh, I really like Jughead.' I found out that he's the narrator, and I found out all of these really cool things. He'll be the narrator for every episode, throughout every season. That's how you know I can't get [killed]. I thought it was a really interesting character."
