Riverdale will come to The CW in January of 2017, the network confirmed today.

 

Archie (KJ Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Veronica (Camila Mendes), Jughead (Cole Sprouse), and the rest of the gang will take over Thursday nights starting January 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

 

The one-hour live-action drama based on the Archie Comics characters will be followed a week later in comic shops by a special one-shot comic book that ties into the show. The February 1 release will provide previously-unknown backstory for key members and storylines on the show.

 

“This is a historic moment for Archie Comics – and it’s been a long time coming,” said Archie Comics CEO and Publisher Jon Goldwater. “Partnering with Roberto, Greg Berlanti Warner Bros. and The CW has been a wonderful experience, and it’s been stunning to see the show bring our iconic characters to life, adding to the mythos and legend of Archie and his gang. You will be hooked from the first scene, I promise you.”

So I saw the trailer.

 

My one deepest wish is that whatever I wrote in the 2016 Overstreet Price Guide is somewhat true and certain books go up in value. I feel like it would validate my article.

 

Also Archie is hot and now I get why Betty and Veronica fight over him.

According to Variety, Mary Andrews left the town of Riverdale two years ahead of the start of Riverdale series in order to follow her dreams. She returns to Riverdale at Homecoming in order to help her family through a trying time and reconnects with her husband Fred (Luke Perry) and high school friends Hermione and Alice.

If this is some mashup of 90210, My So-Called Life, The Wonder Years, and Afterlife with Archie... the next generation will have their teen angst anthem.

 

It'll either bomb with a dead thud or soar magnificently; fingers crossed :D

What, no Dawson's Creek? :D
