Hyping the fact that the new series comes from the same people that brought the likes of The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl to the small screen, the latest original series from The CW looks to offers fans of Archie Comics a whole new way to look at the perennial small town and its frequent hero – with a decided emphasis this time around on his dashing good looks and toned, muscular frame.

Montana may have been inspired by mid-twentieth century mid-western values in his original conception of the eponymous town and its residents, but things are definitely looking more contemporary in the first promo for The CW TV show adaptation.
Based on the iconic comic book series Archie Comics originally created by chief illustrator Bob Montana and writer Vic Bloom, the forthcoming TV drama series Riverdale produced by The CW with network heavyweight Greg Berlanti executive producing is all set to turn heads when it sees its premiere early next year.
