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.
