Archie Andrews can't seem to catch a break.
The red-headed teenager will lock horns with a new villain on Riverdale Season 4, according to Deadline.
Canadian actor Juan Riedinger has landed the recurring role of Dodger.
Aside from the fact that the two characters will be going head-to-head, no other details have been revealed.
However, it's likely that Dodger will have a connection to Hiram Lodge, who was sent to jail after Riverdale Season 3 following his extensive list of crimes coming back to haunt him.
Hiram was pulling strings in Riverdale before he even got out of prison the first time, and given that Archie is his enemy, it wouldn't be Hiram to roll over and allow the teenager to win.
If you watch Riverdale online, you know that Archie has made several mistakes and will likely continue to do so.
The kid can't seem to make a good decision to save himself, and that's been one of the biggest flaws with the character.

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 22 did tease that Archie, Veronica, and Betty will be involved in a murder during their final year of high school.
They agreed to burn Jughead's hat, their clothing, never speak of the night again and go their separate ways after school.
It strongly suggested that Jughead was dead, but he's defied death on a lot of occasions, so it's likely that the conclusion was a big misdirect.
What we do know about Riverdale Season 4 is that Jughead will be in a private school and only be back in the town on the weekends.
So, if everyone was involved in a crime, it's possible that Jughead had to rush back to his school to avoid being put in the frame as a suspect.
This is all speculation, but it's fun to speculate about a show like this.
As previously reported, Riverdale Season 4 Episode 1, titled "In Memoriam" will pay tribute to Luke Perry, who passed away earlier this year.
Perry's former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty is attached to the cast of the episode.
