who plays the characters from riverdale
Mild Riverdale spoilers below. The CWâs much-anticipated teen drama, Riverdale, isnât the most orthodox of takes on the 76-year-old Archie Comics mythos. Sure, the characters in the show have names youâll remember from those little Archie Comics digests from back in the day: Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang. But as youâll recall, those stories were pretty light on sex and murder, whereas Riverdale bathes in lasciviousness.
