For those not yet attuned, Riverdale is described as a “surprising and subversive” take on Archie comics, featuring among its cast Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Ashleigh Murray, Luke Perry, KJ Apa, Madelaine Petsch, Camila Mendes, Marisol Nichols and Twin Peaks alum Mädchen Amick.
Still without renewals for the moment are The 100, iZombie and The Originals, while The Vampire Diaries comes to an end this Friday.
The CW’s Riverdale has been performing strongly enough in its inaugural episodes that The CW is considering a whole mess of Archie-related shows, so it shouldn’t surprise you that Riverdale itself will earn another round.
The CW confirmed as much Tuesday afternoon, adding Riverdale to the virtual truckload of series already returning for new seasons either in fall or early 2018.
