Why Alfie From Emily In Paris Looks So Familiar

The ACU (Archie Cinematic Universe) was made intricate enough by the launch of Netflix's "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" in 2017, which expanded upon the mythology of The CW's "Riverdale" by charting the goings-on in the neighboring town of Greendale. Then, in 2018, another show based on Archie Comics lore premiered, this time an official "Riverdale" offshoot: "Katy Keene."

Dropping the titular fashion designer character (played by Lucy Hale) first introduced on Season 4 of Riverdale into a New York City populated by characters from her own comic series as well as others like "Josie and the Pussycats," "Katy Keene" takes an approach to its source material not unlike the one charted by "Riverdale." Compared to its source material, the "Riverdale" characters are more serious, more somber, and considerably more attractive — and that is very much also the case for Alexander "Alex" Cabot, music exec at Cabot Entertainment, whom Lucien Laviscount plays as a troubled, struggling, yet tender and good-natured son of wealth. His relationship with Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) is at the center of the ultimately short-lived spin-off.

Laviscount appears as a series regular in all 13 episodes.
