Archie and friends will get another season of high school antics on The CW. Here's everything we know about Riverdale season 2...
Riverdale Confirmed
The CW's newest comic book-inspired drama, Riverdale, has been renewed for a second season, as confirmed by Archie Comics' official Twitter handle:
This take on the world of Archie, which is essentially a combination of the melodrama featured on Gossip Girl and the murder mystery setup of Twin Peaks. The approach has been well-received, including by us. Said our reviewer about the pilot episode:
Twenty-one minutes. That's all it takes for Riverdale, The CW's oh-so stylish blend of post-Gossip Girl teen drama and Twin Peaks-inspired mystery, to have Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) begin making out. But like everything in this highly addictive show, there's so much more bubbling under the surface than you initially realize.
And Riverdalehas been doing well in terms of ratings, too. The pilot pulled in 1.4 million viewers, and has averaged about 1.2 million since. It's currently The CW's second most-watched non-superhero series.
Riverdale is the brainchild of Arrowverse architect Greg Berlanti and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the writer behind the resurgence of Archie Comics in recent years with great horror comics Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
