What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the The CW television network, Riverdale follows the folks in the fictional hometown to the Archie Comics gang. The dark teen mystery drama begins with a new school year and the residents of this small town are still reeling from the tragic and mysterious death of the high school’s golden boy. Nothing seems the same. Rather than follow in his dad Fred’s (Luke Perry) footsteps, Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) now wants to pursue a career in music. Meanwhile, just when Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) decides to reveal her true feelings for Archie, a beautiful new student named Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) turns his head. Archie could use a best bud right now, but his friendship with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) is on the rocks. Mädchen Amick, Marisol Nichols, Casey Cott, and Madelaine Petsch also star.

Telly’s Take
While its lackluster premiere numbers whet my appetite, it seems that The CW really wants Riverdale to succeed. And to be fair, the ratings have remained fairly consistent. On top of that, Warner Bros. TV has made a big development deal with Archie Comics. It’s no surprise that Riverdale has been renewed for a second season.
