Telly’s Take

Will The CW will cancel or renew Riverdale for season five? The numbers have come down quite a bit when compared to season two but this network relies less on traditional ratings than the other networks do. With two sister shows — Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix and Katy Keene on The CW — I don’t see this one being cancelled anytime soon. I’ll still keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Riverdale cancellation or renewal news.
