She added, \"Literally, every single cast and crew member there was like text chains going back and forth, like, 'Did you guys know about this?'\"

\"And literally none of us, even Charlaine Harris, knew anything about it,\" Paquin said, referring to the author of \"The Southern Vampire Mysteries\" series on which the show was based.

\"So we were all just kind of learning about it in real time. And then as things do, the Internet kind of explodes, but -- which is all very flattering!\" Paquin admitted, saying there was another silver lining to the situation: \"What was kind of nice is that a few quite long ... chat groups got together of some of our peeps. It was just like, nice to catch up.\"

\"Riverdale\" creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is reportedly in talks to write the new, unconfirmed show, according to Deadline. Original series creator Alan Ball is producing, according to Deadline's report.

Paquin will be seen next as a PR wizard in \"Flack,\" which hits Amazon Prime on Jan. 22.
