Thus, The CWsRiverdalewas born.
Get closer though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.
And mystery is one thingRiverdalewill not be lacking.
If so, its going to have to be told in flashback because Jason is quite dead.
GUEST STARRING ARCHIES ABS
Archie is sexy now.
Heres Archie cooling down after working for his dads construction business.
His dad is played by former teen heartthrob Luke Perry.
To quote Roxette, and it all begins where it ends, and were all magic friends.
The circle of life people, this is how it works.
JUST LIKE THE OLD MAN IN THAT BOOK BY NABAKOV
That sound you just heard?
On TV she will be young and vibrant and having an affair with Archie.
How this will interfere with the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle remains to be seen.
ARCHIES RIVERDALE RUN
Insert joke about cheesecake being the hottest selling menu item at Pop Tates Choklit Shoppe here.
Did we mention how Archie is sexy now?
Or is that a stigmata?
YOU GUYS ARCHIE IS JESUS!
Al Hartley, your day of redemption has come at last.
Which means three words: SEXY POP TATE.
WILL YOU WAKE FROM A DREAM WITH A WOLF AT THE DOOR REACHING OUT FOR VERONICA?
Enter Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) looking very Little Red Riding Hood-esque in her Cloak of Mystery.
Fuck it, I hope shes in some kind of rich girl death cult in this show.
Why not?Why not go mad?Trumps in the White House.Ghostbusterstanked.
Nothing makes any sense anymore anyway.
But might we suggest another wrinkle?
Because that would be the absolute best.
SO NO ONE TOLD YOU IT WAS GONNA BE THIS WAY
SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
Archie is fighting who looks like it’s Reggie (Ross Butler).

Related: We cannot wait to see this show.
BE AGRESSIVE, PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE
Ladies and gentleman, your Riverdale High cheerleaders.
Because he is, after all, quite sexy.
MOVING IN STEREO
A swimsuit-clad Veronica laughing as she walks away from something.
Reading the complaints in the Archie Fans forum perhaps?
Goddamn we are in love with this show already.
Will this series deviation from the source material offend the hardcore Archie faithful?
As a lifelong fan and Archie historian myself I can say a hearty no.
Honestly, he is my only question mark about this whole project.
Partially due to his commitments toRiverdale, bothAfterlife with ArchieandChilling Adventures of Sabrinaexperienced major delays.
Will it connect with mainstream audiences who dont know or care about the comics?
