(CW)
Could events get any stranger in Archie Andrews’ hometown? Well, we’ll have plenty of time to find out. The CW has renewed the Riverdale TV show for a fifth season. It will air as part of the 2020-21 season.
Riverdale stars KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Marisol Nichols, Madchen Amick, Mark Consuelos, Skeet Ulrich, Casey Cott, Charles Melton, and Vanessa Morgan. Based on the characters from the Archie Comics, this show focuses on the wholesome town of Riverdale and some of its teen residents, including Archie (Apa), Betty (Reinhart), Veronica (Mendes), and Jughead (Sprouse). They discover the darkness and dangers that bubble underneath their town’s wholesome façade.
The fourth season of Riverdale is averaging a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 808,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 30% and 23%, respectively.
The show typically airs on Wednesday nights and season four will resume on January 22nd. Season five will likely begin airing Fall 2020.

I became a 10 minute watcher after loving the show when it started. The ratings have continued to drop a lot because the show got so stupid. What does it take to cancel this show? How low are cw standards? Another amazing thing they do is take the show off for long periods of time like it’s… Read more »
There’s some unfortunate truth in what you’re saying, and it runs across the entire landscape of CW programming. However, this has been anything but detrimental with a young audience that is long past sold on, if not obsessed with, these social and prurient themes (the problem, if you see it as one, is with the culture, not the CW). So, even though Riverdale is not as impressive as shows like Bates Motel which arguably inspired it, I believe there is still potential for it to recover some of its lost steam and further establish a CW “Archiverse” capable of holding… Read more »
Great show! Thank you CBS for renewing!
