Cole Sprouse Mentions 'The Nature Of Romantic Scenes' on 'Riverdale' Is Going To Change

Only recently, we reported about the official confirmation that Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart of Riverdale fame have broken up. And now, during his virtual interview with AP Entertainment, the actor opened up about how filming Riverdale will be different in a post-coronavirus world, adding that shooting romantic scenes will never be the same.

"Our show is the exact kind of rubric which is going to come under a scrutinizing lens in terms of how things are gonna to change technically," he said. "I mean, the nature of romantic scenes are going to change quite a bit. Kraft service: catering is going to change quite a bit. Interactions with cast and crew are gonna change quite a bit. What kind of stages you're allowed to shoot in are gonna have to change; the ventilation is going to have to change on a technical level. The amount of background they're allowed into shots is gonna change quite a bit."

Reflecting on how these cautionary changes will affect the hit drama series, Sprouse continued, "Our show is one of those shows where we are deeply involved with all of the new regulations that are put upon a production cycle. So, I am incredibly interested to see how it works."

Unfortunately for Riverdale fans, season 5 won't be debuting until January 2021. Earlier this month it was announced that The CW will be delaying its fall 2020 schedule as production is currently shutdown in response to the pandemic. When the series resumes, Sprouse and the rest of the Riverdale gang will embark on their final days of high school before the characters take a major time jump into their post-college life.

As teased in the season's official description, fans can expect "a lot of emotional moments and goodbyes yet to come—with some couples breaking up, as everyone goes their separate ways to college—or elsewhere" before the gang reunites as young adults.
