Riverdale-Sabrina crossover: Chance Perdomo wants Jughead and Ambrose story
Chance Perdomo, who plays Ambrose in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, gives his thoughts on the idea for a potential Riverdale-Sabrina crossover in a recent interview.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is the showrunner for both Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Riverdale, but because the two shows are on separate networks, Netflix and the CW, respectively, it is not a simple task. Fans have been dying for this crossover, and hopefully Aguirre-Sacasa can figure out a way to make it work soon, but things aren’t really looking good for the idea.
Chance Perdomo, the actor who portrays Ambrose in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, had an interview with The Wrap where he said that he would like to have Ambrose and Jughead, played by Cole Sprouse, meetup and “have an intellectual, philosophical debate.”
This might make for some interesting TV as long as I get to see them become friends and become regulars on each other’s shows. That’s mainly for my own selfish purposes. I love Jughead. I agree with Perdomo that Sprouse brings a gritty “film-noir” feel to the character, via The Wrap. This adds a great depth to the show whereas, Archie’s side is more of a teen drama.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina gets the same vibe from Kiernan Shipka in the role of titular character Sabrina Spellman as well as from Perdomo’s character, Ambrose.

It’s interesting to see the similarities between Ambrose and Jughead because Perdomo originally tried out to be Jughead, as noted in the report. After Sprouse got the role, Aguirre-Sacasa wrote the character of Ambrose with Perdomo in mind.
This just proves that the two shows are literally perfect for each other, especially as Riverdale gets darker and darker as the seasons continue on. Hopefully, Aguirre-Sacasa can figure out a way to make the two shows crossover, possibly in a similar way to how the DC shows crossover.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 2 is coming to Netflix on Friday, April 5. Riverdale season 3 is headed to Netflix in May 2019.
