The CW is sticking with Archie. Deadline reports the network has renewed Riverdale for a second season.
Based on the characters from Archie Comics, the drama follows the residents of a small town in the wake of a mysterious murder. The cast includes KJ Apa, Luke Perry, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Mädchen Amick, Marisol Nichols, Casey Cott, and Madelaine Petsch.
The renewal is not that surprising. Archie Comics just signed a new development deal with Warner Bros. Television, and the ratings for Riverdale have been okay so far. Season one is currently averaging a .43 rating in the 18-49 demo with 1.155 million viewers. While not great, Deadline reports the series’ delayed and digital viewership has been high for the The CW, “growing 78% in adults 18-34 and 85% in women 18-34 in Live+7 day ratings over L+SD.”

I am soooooo happy they renewed the show. I loved it. If i couldnt watch it live i was always record it. I am obsessed with Riverdale!!!❤❤
The show is awesome, I love that it’s based on the Archie’s comics it brings back my childhood. My son is 12 and I’m 52 and we can’t wait every week to see the weeks episode. I hope it continues for several seasons as it is our favorite show. One thing that might increase audience I think would be to advertise it more. I rarely see it being advertised.
