feature a special tribute to
the late Luke Perry (Fred;

co-star Shannen Doherty
(ex-Brenda) will guest star.
The episode is slated to air

that Perry had hoped for
Doherty to appear on the
show, noting, “It is some-
thing that Luke wanted to
happen since season 1.
They were such good friends,
and when we were putting
together this tribute episode,
we wanted to make it as
special as possible, and so
we asked Shannen to do
a pivotal, super-emotional
role. She read the script and
immediately said ‘Yes.’ It’s
very impactful.”S
