Depending on the success of the live-action series and which characters land with audiences, The CW could potentially build a shared universe surrounding Riverdale.
Riverdale is set to debut on The CW at the end of January, roughly two and a half weeks from now.
But, again, it likely depends on how successful Riverdale proves to be with general audiences, and whether The CW can develop a viable spinoff story.
That said, the network’s schedule is already dominated by DC Comics series, and they may be hesitant to add another Archie series.
