IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR ON SEASON 3 OF RIVERDALE, AS JUGHEAD'S MOTHER AND SISTER SHAKE THINGS UP

GINA GERSHON AND TRINITY LIKINS TO RECUR AS GLADYS JONES AND JELLYBEAN "JB" JONES, RESPECTIVELY

Fans of Riverdale will learn a little bit more about Jughead's family in season three, as his mother and sister shake things up with their own sneaky behavior. Gina Gershon (Bound) and newcomer Trinity Likins have been set for recurring roles as Gladys Jones and Jellybean "JB" Jones, respectively. They will debut on Riverdale during the Wednesday, December 12, 2018, episode at 8/7c on The CW.

Gina Gershon plays Jughead's mother, Gladys Jones, a "businesswoman" who runs the salvage yard (chop shop) that doubles as a Serpent compound, and the Serpents all snap to attention when she gives them an order. A Serpent with a GED, she acts as Fagin to a crew of teenaged car parts thieves.

Trinity Likins is set for the role of Jughead's sister, Jellybean "JB" Jones. She is wise beyond her years, and her favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. Jellybean lives with her biker mom in Toledo where they run scams to make ends meet. And like mother like daughter: Jellybean " who goes by JB now " is quite the little con artist herself.
