Based on the Archie Comics characters, Riverdale is a dark reinvention of the classic comics, as the small town of Riverdale is plunged into a tangled web of deceit and murder.
In the second season, a serial killer named The Black Hood is terrorizing the town, acting as judge, jury and executioner for anyone he considers a sinner.
The show features an array of classic Archie Comics characters, including Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Jughead (Cole Sprouse), and of course Archie (KJ Apa) himself. Riverdale also stars Marisol Nichols as Hermione Lodge; Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom; Ashleigh Murray as Josephine “Josie” McCoy; Mädchen Amick as Alice Cooper; Luke Perry as Frederick “Fred” Andrews; Mark Consuelos as Hiram Lodge; Casey Cott as Kevin Keller; and Skeet Ulrich as Forsythe “F.P.” Jones II.
Riverdale is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Supergirl, Glee), Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).
