Bosco685 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Riverdale Pilot Officially Ordered At The CW 2016 is sure to be a major year for Archie Comics, as America’s Favorite Teenager celebrates 75 years of existence. But the party kicked off in a major way today with news that The CW has officially picked up the pilot episode for the live-action “Riverdale” TV series, to start filming this spring. The one-hour drama will be written by Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and produced by Warner Brothers Studios and Berlanti Productions and has been described as a subversive take on the classic Archie mythos. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa serve as executive producers. The live-action series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica, and their friends, exploring small-town life and the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade. The show will focus on the eternal love triangle of Archie Andrews, girl-next-door Betty Cooper, and rich socialite Veronica Lodge, and will include the entire cast of characters from the comic books—including Archie’s rival, Reggie Mantle, and his slacker best friend, Jughead Jones.

Bosco685 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Riverdale Casts Its Jughead And Betty The CW has cast two of the four leads in its pilot inspired by Archie Comics, Riverdale. Lili Reinhart (Surviving Jack) will play Betty Cooper, a “sweet, studious, eager-to-please and wholesome” teenager with a crush on her best friend, Archie Andrews. When she decides she’s tired of playing the role of perfect daughter, she gets some advice from her new friend, Veronica, for advice. Cole Sprouse (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody) will play Jughead Jones, “a heartthrob with a philosophical bent.” Jughead is Archie’s former best friend and is still sore about their falling out.
