Adelson Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa May 16, 2018 ( 2018 - 05 - 16 ) T13. 20822 TBD Production Development Warner Bros. began development on an Archie feature film in 2013, after a pitch from writer Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa and director Jason Moore that would place Archie 's gang into a teen comedy feature film in the John Hughes tradition. The duo brought the project to Warner Bros., where a VP recommended a more high - concept direction involving time travel or interdimensional portals, suggesting Louis C.K. to portray an older Archie. Dan Lin and Roy Lee became producers on the project, which eventually stalled as priorities shifted at the studio towards larger tentpole films and was reimagined as a television series. Riverdale was originally in development at Fox, with the network landing the project in 2014 with a script deal plus penalty. However, Fox did not go forward with the project. In 2015, the show 's development was moved to The CW, which officially ordered a pilot on January 29, 2016. On March 7, 2017, The CW announced that the series had been renewed for a second season. Casting Casting Archie was a difficult process, with Aguirre - Sacasa stating `` I think we literally saw every redheaded young guy in L.A. It certainly felt that way. '' The production team found KJ Apa just three days before they had to present screen tests to the network, which created tension in the last few days leading up to the studio presentation. In April 2017, it was announced Mark Consuelos had signed on for the second season to play Veronica Lodge 's father, Hiram Lodge. The role was in second position to his existing role on Pitch but the cancellation of that series was announced on May 1, 2017. The next month, it was announced Charles Melton was cast to take over the role of Reggie from Ross Butler in season 2 due to his status as a series regular on 13 Reasons Why. It was also announced that Casey Cott, who played Kevin Keller, was promoted to a series regular. In July 2017, it was announced that True Blood star Brit Morgan had been cast in the recurring role of Penny Peabody, an attorney the Southside Serpents call in case of any run - ins with the law. In August 2017, it was announced Graham Phillips had been cast to play Nick St. Clair, Veronica 's ex-boyfriend from New York. In March 2018 Andy Cohen appeared in episode 16 as himself. In the show he and Hermione are friends. He previously offered her a role as a cast member on The Real Housewives of New York City. However Hermione turned down the offer to keep things private for the Lodge family. Filming The Pop 's Chock'lit Shoppe set in Vancouver, Canada Filming of the pilot began on March 14, 2016, and ended on April 1 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Production on the remaining 12 episodes of season one began on September 7, 2016, in Vancouver. Sets include Pop Tate 's Chock'lit Shoppe, a copy of the functioning diner used in the pilot that is so realistic a truck driver parked his 18 - wheeler there, believing that it was open. Season two will also be filmed in Vancouver and the nearby Fraser Valley. The aerial view of Riverdale is actually drawn from stock footage used in the series Pretty Little Liars, Gilmore Girls, and the landmark setting are the same utilized in both of the aforementioned series as well as in Hart of Dixie. Filming for the second season occurred from June 22, 2017, til March 27, 2018. Homages to other films and TV series Several reviewers had noted that the series ' episode titles, are often taken directly or slightly altered from the titles of older films. For example, De Elizabeth of TeenVogue points out that Riverdale 's pilot episode was named `` River 's Edge '' after the 1986 film of the same name, and the season finale also takes its name from 1997 's The Sweet Hereafter. Executive producer Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa notes that this is a deliberate choice, in order to hint at what will happen in that episode. Additionally, Katie - Kouise Smith, of Popbuzz, notes that the opening credits for Riverdale mirror those of the Twin Peaks television series, and are intended as an homage to that series ' creator, David Lynch. Release Broadcast Netflix acquired the exclusive international broadcast rights to Riverdale, making the series available as an original series to its platform less than a day after its original U.S. broadcast. Marketing In July 2016, members of the cast and the executive producers attended San Diego Comic - Con to promote the upcoming series, where they premiered the first episode `` Chapter One : The River 's Edge ''. The first trailer for the series was released in early December 2016. The CW also sponsored multiple Tastemade videos, where they cooked several foods that are popular in the Archie universe. Comic - book adaptation Along with heavily promoting the TV series in their regular comics since January 2017, Archie Comics are planning to release a comic book adaptation of Riverdale, featuring auxiliary story arcs set within the television series ' own continuity. The comic book adaptation is being headed by Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa himself, along with various other writers from the show.

On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a fresh rating of 88 % based on 54 reviews, with a weighted average of 7.27 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Riverdale offers an amusingly self - aware reimagining of its classic source material that proves eerie, odd, daring, and above all addictive. '' On Metacritic, the season has a score of 68 out of 100 based on 36 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Dave Nemetz of TVLine gave the series a `` B + '' saying that it turned, `` out to be an artfully crafted, instantly engaging teen soap with loads of potential. '' Some writers have criticized the series for its handling of minority characters. While reviewing the first season, Kadeen Griffiths of Bustle declared `` the show marginalizes and ignores the ( people of color ) in the cast to the point where they may as well not be there. '' In an article for Vulture, Angelica Jade Bastien discussed the show 's treatment of Josie and the Pussycats ( who are each played by African Americans ), noting, `` They 're not characters so much as they are a vehicle for a Message. Josie and her fellow pussycats are positioned to communicate the message that Riverdale is more modern and inclusive than teen dramas of the past, even though it has yet to prove it beyond its casting. '' Monique Jones of Ebony noted, `` Despite the show 's multi-racial casting choices, it seems like Riverdale is still a mostly white town. '' She also expressed fondness for the relationship between Archie Andrews and Valerie Brown, but declared `` Archie should n't be what makes Valerie interesting to us ''.

Television and Berlanti Productions, with a planned release in the 2018 -- 2019 television season. Based on the comic series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, featuring the Archie Comics character Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the series would be a companion series to Riverdale. Lee Toland Krieger will direct the pilot, which will be written by Aguirre - Sacasa. Both are executive producers along with Berlanti, Schechter, and Goldwater. In December 2017, it was reported that the project had moved to Netflix under a yet - to - be-announced new title. Two seasons, comprising ten episodes each, have been ordered by the streaming service. In January 2018, it was announced that the lead role of Sabrina Spellman would be portrayed by Kiernan Shipka, and CW president Mark Pedowitz noted that, `` at the moment, there is no discussion about crossing over '' with Riverdale. Filming for first season began on March 19, 2018, just as filming of the second season of Riverdale concludes, which will allow the same crew members to work on both series. It is expected to film back - to - back with the second season.
