Many of the characters from the Riverdale TV show on The CW have been around for 75 years in the pages of Archie comics. But, how long with this TV show last? Will it be a hit in the ratings or a flop? Will Riverdale be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
The Riverdale TV show 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. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) now wants to pursue a career in music and not follow in the footsteps of his dad (Luke Perry). His friend Betty (Lili Reinhart) is ready to tell Archie how she feels about him but then, a beautiful new student named Veronica (Camila Mendes) comes to town. Archie could use a best bud right now but his friendship with Jughead (Cole Sprouse) has hit the rocks. Others in The CW cast are Mädchen Amick, Marisol Nichols, Casey Cott, and Madelaine Petsch.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/12 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Riverdale TV series on The CW? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
3/7 update: The CW has renewed Riverdale for a second season. Details here.
OMG!!! This show is superb! Especially since am a big Archie comic fan
Why is this post even here tf, it’s already been renewed for a second season.
I can’t wait for the next season so many twisted stories. What will happen next? will they know who was the killer?
Love this show!! Very intense with a great plot line. I am always on the edge of my seat, and can’t wait for the next episode.
I watch it on Netflix
oh wait lol there is a new season good THIS TV SHOW ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please don’t cancel Riverdale it is honestly the best Tv Show i have watched
I loveeee Riverdale, me my brother and best friend watch it all together every friday! Please dont cancel
I learned of the show sitting next to Miss Reinhart on a flight from Austin to Seattle. I had no idea what to expect since I have followed the comic strip for years. After the first episode I liked it but after episode 2 I am hooked. Glad there will be season 2
Congratulations on the season 2 renewal. Hayley Law who plays Valerie Brown from Josie And The Pussycats is not only beautiful but sings like a angel. The song with Archie (KJ Apa) is really catchy. They sound wonderful together. I hope the show utilizes her more next season. I also really like the whole mystery aspect of the show. I literally have no clue who killed Jason Blossom. So many people in the town have a motive.
But because Veronica and Archie have a thing, Valerie is kind of finished, she and Archie won’t be performing together anymore I doubt… The only reason they did was because they liked each other.
I tried to watch this show, and honestly I don’t know why everyone here loves it. It’s terrible. Everything is a cliche. Forget that this show is ever so loosely connected to Archie, (really in name only) but that the story and acting are terrible. If it’s pretty faces that you want to see, I get it. But other than that, it’s terrible.
I <3 the series, please don't cancel it :)))
The show and cast are the best thing on TV. I’m going to make a note of all the sponsors and buy their stuff.
I love this show! Please don’t cancel it
I like it its pretty good hoop you guys renew it for season 2
I think it’s great
