KATY
KEENE follows the lives and loves of four iconic Archie
Comics characters — fashion legend-to-be Katy Keene (Lucy Hale),
singer/songwriter Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), performer Jorge
Lopez/Ginger (Jonny Beauchamp), and “It Girl” Pepper Smith (Julia
Chan) — as they chase their twenty-something dreams in New York
City…together.
Katy designs clothes for anyone she can, including her friend
and roommate Josie, whose singing talent catches the attention
of Alexander Cabot (Lucien Laviscount), a CEO who hopes to reboot
the record label division of his father’s corporate empire.
But Alexander’s dream of signing Josie to a recording contract
meets resistance from Cabot Media’s powerful senior vice president
Alexandra (Camille Hyde), who also happens to be his twin sister.
Josie and Katy’s roommate Jorge works at his family’s bodega
and has his eye on Broadway, but after a series of rejections,
he hopes to take his drag performance career as Ginger to the
next level. The mysterious Pepper Smith plans to open her own
version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. She has the connections, but
no one seems to know where she got her money — or if she really
has any at all.
Katy struggles to manage the pressures of her day job at Lacy’s
Department Store and her very demanding boss, Gloria (Katherine
LaNasa), who is a legendary personal shopper. But Katy has the
support of her longtime boyfriend, KO Kelly (Zane Holtz), who
has his own dream of becoming a professional boxer. As these
aspiring artists take on the runway, the recording studio, Broadway,
and the NYC social scene, they will find more than just a career
in the big city — they’ll find long-lasting friendship.
A spinoff of the hit series “Riverdale,” KATY KEENE
