Now, Aguirre-Sacasa is expanding his hold over all that’s young, sexy and creepy on TV with two new projects.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has put a very different spin on the beloved Archie comics characters for The CW’s Riverdale.
He’s currently working on The Shelley Society and The Brides, and each show will be firmly planted in the world of gothic horror.
What was once a group of teens as wholesome as wholesome could get (with the obvious exception of that love triangle), Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and the rest of the gang now deal with drugs, murder and a lot of the darker sides to life.
