In an exclusive clip from The Wrap, Betty (Lili Reinhardt) prepares to reunite with Archie (K.J. Appa) after being away from him all summer.
Now The CW will amp up Archie’s newfound grit with the forthcoming adaptation Riverdale, a dark, subversive take on the classic comics.
In recent years, the series has delved into more modern storylines, focusing on Archie taking a bullet for his friend Kevin Keller, and Jughead coming out as asexual.
The comics followed the adventures of Archie Andrews, a high school teen caught amid a love triangle with two girls: friendly blonde Betty Cooper and spoiled vixen Veronica Lodge.
