The Archie Comics characters are coming to The CW. Deadline reports the network has officially ordered a pilot for an Archie series called Riverdale.
The series joins several other new pilot orders from The CW that include a paranormal project from Kevin Williamson and an untitled Mars colony series.
As previously reported, the Riverdale series will feature familiar Archie like Betty, Veronica, and Archie himself but in a “darker” light.
From producer Greg Berlanti and writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the series will feature “a subversive take” on the small town and “the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade.”
What do you think? Are you an Archie fan? Would you watch Riverdale?
I would watch this! But I heard Jughead will be hearing impaired. I just really hope that the show won’t make it a big deal.
