Riverdale has been renewed for a third season which will debut October 10, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless the ratings totally tank (highly unlikely right now), I’m sure Riverdale will score a season three renewal. Warner Bros and Archie Comics made a big deal to develop other series. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments Subscribe for free updates on any Riverdale cancellation or renewal news.
4/2/18 update: The CW has renewed Riverdale for season three for the 2018-19 season. Details here.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Riverdale TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if The CW had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Will there be anymore DVD discs? I really hope they do have more DVD discs and more Episodes to continue. This movie is so Fun and Really interesting. I really want to watch more of these episodes. I have the Complete First Season, and I really need more Seasons to come. I’ve watched all the episodes of that 1st season I just need more. It really doesn’t matter if you all don’t like my comment or not. I just want more scenery by Happy Valentine’s to Everyone and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day as well.
I love this show!! I don’t get to watch much TV, set my DVR and look forward to it every week!!!
Cannot stand the show, actually, and am fairly certain the Black Hood is “A.”. The nader of this show was the horrific, unwatchable musical episode. My ears bled. No, just no.
