In the interview, Reinhart revealed that he is indeed working on it:
“I mean, the show historically has been pretty white. Roberto is very conscious of it now to make sure that that doesn’t happen again and Vanessa doesn’t feel that she’s put in that position again. I feel as a producer now moving forward how important it is that I’m not stereotyping, stereocasting anything — really making sure I’m going out of my way to do right by Black people, by transgender people, by people who don’t look like me.”
She also shared that she is now a Riverdale producer.
