Riverdale is nearing the end of its freshman season, but will you stick around for more? What do you think? Will you watch season two of The CW TV series?
A dark take on the classic Archie Comics characters, the drama follows the residents of a small town after the mysterious death of a popular high school student. The cast includes KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Luke Perry, Mädchen Amick, Marisol Nichols, Casey Cott, and Madelaine Petsch.
There’s no need to worry about Riverdale getting cancelled anytime soon. The CW has already renewed it for a second season and it is performing decently in the ratings compared to the network’s other series. So far, season one is averaging a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demo and 1.10 million viewers.
But what will happen in season two? Recently, series creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa teased some supernatural elements could be added for the upcoming season:
In my mind, the mythology is this: Riverdale is a non-magical grounded town with weird stuff happening. Then there’s Sweetwater River, where Jason died, and on the other side of that river is Greendale, where Sabrina and the witches traditionally live. On one side of the river, there’s no magic, there’s no supernatural — that’s where Riverdale is. And on the other side of the mythic river, which is sort of like the River Styx, there’s magic and witches and dark Lovecraftian horrors.
Afterlife or not, there will definitely be a big genre element to season 2. It’s going to make people go, ‘They’re not really doing that, are they?’”
What do you think? Do you watch the Riverdale TV show? Will you keep watching into season two?
I love this show!!! More please!!!
I love this show !!!
I will stop watching if it goes to mystical themes. It seems a cop out on the part of the writers if they do that. Like they aren’t clever enough to write a good mystery so they have to make it far fetched. Please don’t go there! So far the show is really good.
I love this show!
I like the show but missed a couple of episodes due to network issues in our area.
I love the cast and would love to see another season.
Oh I love this show, its the teenagers, the adults, everyone intertwined… awesome show look forward to it every thursday
I wish they didn’t deviate from the comic so much and tried to make it like TWIN PEAKS . Probably turned off the comic ARCHIE readers of the 50’s and 60’s like myself . The Cheryl character is more like Veronica than the girl that have who’s the daughter of a latino motorcycle gang leader?( I’m half lat so don’t call me racist ) but stay true to the characters . Betty’s pasted down pony tail doesn’t do anything for her . Her make is is blah, I would think the idea is to get ratings and when you take… Read more »
Only if Casey Cott (Kevin Keller) is promoted to series regular & Kevin gets his own storylines rather than just being the sassy gay bff.
