A great place to get away with it all. A subversive take on Archie and his friends, exploring small town life, the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade.


Check out the character posters for our main cast of Riverdale, which is hitting our TV’s quite soon and will no doubt get every Archie comics fan talking, whether you dig the oldschool books or the darker stuff like Afterlife with Archie (which saw a zombie apocalypse striking the town). I’m getting quite curious about this series because I grew up reading the books and I’m indeed enjoying the darker aspects of recent mini-series, so I’m wondering which angles they’ll explore the show.
