Riverdale season 2 will air on The CW during the 2017-18 season.
Either way, though, for Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), someone has tried to kill his father, and those events are set to take a toll on the character in season 2.
Get set for a much darker Archie Andrews in Riverdale season 2, and we’re not talking about his hair color. Riverdale‘s freshman season ended with a huge shock, when Fred Andrews (Luke Perry) was shot in an armed robbery at Pop’s Diner.
Though viewers thought he was merely a victim of circumstance, thanks to Jughead’s brooding voiceover, we now know that the shooting was deliberate.
