RIVERDALE Season 2 Tidbits

From the Upfronts.

>Season 2 will have 22 episodes and center on a class war between the north side and the south side of Riverdale, featuring a genre shift towards "horror noir".

>Archie will become the main character and go through the "Hero’s Journey". He’ll go down a dark and violent path to uncover the conspiracy behind his father’s death and avenge him, before overcoming the darkness to save his friends.

>Jughead will be torn between his old friends and his new family with the Southside Serpents and act as the "middle man" in the conflict, and will find himself forced to make hard choices and become a darker person.

>Betty will become determined to locate her long-lost brother Chick Cooper and will battle her demons in the form of Dark Betty. Her relationship with Jughead will be strained by his affiliation with the Serpents and will cause old feelings for Archie to resurface once they get together to investigate the new mysteries of Riverdale.

>Veronica will struggle with the pressure of supporting Archie through his father’s death and face the temptation of treading a darker path and reverting to her old Mean Girl persona.

>Cheryl will become increasingly darker and more unpredictable as she battles her mother Penelope for control of what’s left of the Blossom fortune, sometimes even physically.

>Kevin will also tread a darker path; Josie will clash with her mother over branching out from the Pussycats; Polly will have her babies; and Reggie will develop a rivalry with Archie and pursue relationships with both Veronica and Josie at different points.

>Hiram Lodge will become a main antagonist, a master manipulator that quickly develops a feud with Archie and becomes of the suspects of ordering the hit on Fred, which strains Archie’s relationship with Veronica. The Serpents also become suspects after being laid off from Fred’s construction company, causing friction between Archie and Jughead.

>New recurring characters include Betty's brother Chick Cooper and tough lesbian southsider Toni Topaz, who might develop a relationship with one of the female characters that will discover herself to be bisexual.

>Sabrina Spellman might appear ahead of a planned spin-off.

Will Cheryl keep being my eye candy? This is what I need to know.

>Betty will become determined to locate her long-lost brother Chick Cooper and will battle her demons in the form of Dark Betty
I'm disappointed that Dark Betty only showed up once

>who might develop a relationship with one of the female characters that will discover herself to be bisexual.
it better not be ronnie. ronnie is for betty only if she gets with a girl

>Sup Forums originally hated this series
What the fuck happened?

>Kevin will also tread a darker path

Chuck/Kevin confirmed

>riverdale banished to the shadow realm for a hole season

It turned out to be fun?

It's probably going to be Cheryl, she's the only main female not in a relationship and it's probably cause drama with her mother.

The actress also said she'd support Cheryl being bi.

DARKER PATHS

MIDNIGHT ROADS

>PUNISHED Archie will have to level up to pull his friends out of their "darker paths".

I still do.

Just started watching this. Why is Josie such a cunt?

Her dad

>with Archie breaking from Sega the show will never go fast.

Feels bad desu

>my eye candy?
Fuck off she's mine.

that's archie? looks like a douche.
more like reggie.

>Sabrina didn't appear at the end of S1
Why would you do that Sup Forums?

Why would you just go on the internet and lie for no reason?

They could totally do something subtle like have a character named Sonny who's on the track team and likes wearing blue.

>But guys she will TOTALLY appear at the end of season 2 just keep watching guys I swear my friend's dad's uncle's daughter read it on the internet

KJ Apa spreads the "Sabrina is coming" lie in these threads to keep us watching so he stays employed

And we keep falling for it

Or maybe plans simply changed.

Get out of here Apa, don't you have a convenience store to steal red hair dye from

He's too busy making fun of fatties online to shitpost about his show

DARK ARCHIE
DARK VERONICA
DARK BETTY
DARK CHERYL
DARK KEVIN

LIGHT JOSIE

It's also getting moved to Wednesday night just before Dynasty which is just a great combo.

looks like a douche, acts like an idiot to the point where it's adorable how dumb he is

Waifus user, it converted all of us

>The Magicians
>Riverdale
>The Expanse
>all on Wednesdays
ho boy

Did I miss a meme or something?

Fuck that's going to be terrible. Which shows to cut for Thursday morning?

Also is there a source for any of this or is OP just trying to get first dibs on horseshit spoilers that we all believe for the entire season?

Wait so when's airing what then?

Technicalllllly, she did appear because apparently the comic that Jughead's dad was reading while in jail was an old Sabrina comic. If that's what KJ was implying, then jfc, what a fucking troll.

madman

The general Tumblr/Twitter reaction was restrained and understanding that he was just joking I assume?

Between this and Lili Reinhart's comments about depression, the PR department must sweat bullets whenever one of these kids open their mouths.

/ourguy/

>comments about depression
She wasn't wrong, but try telling tumblr to stop wallowing in their self pity

valor looks like garbage

>dynasty
lel

Nothing changed for me that much really

>Lucifer on Monday
>Maybe Gifted on Monday if it's not shit

>CW or Smackdown depends on which one turns to shit first

>Riverdale on Wednesday or Lucha Underground

>Gotham moved to Thursday with Supernatural
>Arrow afterwards

>snuggle up with gf on Friday with soap operas


When is Black Lightning coming?

Probably the after Flash slot if LoT only gets another 13 again. I hope they don't move iZombie to Fridays, show bleeds enough viewers as it is

>CW's Dynasty
I don't think its demographic even knows what the original Dynasty is

The only place CW film anymore is Vancouver. Is there any way at all you can make Western Canada look like Texas?

They'll probably still be lured in by the trashy soapiness of it all.

>Elizabeth Gillies
well I'm in

They'll probably shoot wherever they shot Hart of Dixie

>Moving Arrow to Thursday after 5 years of Wednesday
I don't know the effect it might have, and I don't even really watch anymore, but that just feels stupid.

Arrow is old and busted, Riverdale is the new hotness

Not really, Arrow dropped a shitload of viewers. Supernatural in it's 12th season gets more

Supernatural still gets good ratings while Arrow is in a slump. I'd say it's CW trying to give Arrow a boost rather than killing it off.

>you now remember new Melrose Place with black canary
>you now remember the new 90210 that run for quite a while

I understand less about CW the most shows I watch

The only requirement for the CW to greenlight a script is that is has to be mainly about beautiful people and angst. That's it.

>what is Reaper

What

The flying FUCK

Am I reading

>Mandy Patinkin
>not beautiful

>Ray Wise
>Not wanting his voice to soothe you to sleep

>Reggie will develop a rivalry with Archie and pursue relationships with both Veronica and Josie at different points.

Wish it was still OG Asian Chad though. ;_;

>Polly will have her babies
>literal incest babies are coming
Oh boy remember when that revelation came out?

He gets to deal with a school shooting on Netflix's everything bad that can happen in an American highschool series.

Is he right Sup Forums?

youtube.com/watch?v=M3qAnETjFIU

Nobody's going to tell a Pacific islander he can't talk about fat people.

nigga I ain't gonna watch 25 minutes of some dude's shit opinions

That was so fucking stupid, I hope it turns out Penelope cheated on him or something.

Spare me the middle class morality.

I'm only five minutes in, but this niggas already wrong. Direction and editing is the only thing going for this show

I enjoy his videos but this one was just "not muh!". Like he gave the Netflix Death Note trailer a pass but because the Riverdale gang is different from original Archie he starts REEEEing. Like he says he's read stuff like Afterlife but even there they're pretty out of character, especially if we're counting Chilling Adventures. Also many of the complaints come from watching only up to episode two or three.

>smackdown

>ever being shit

Your not a Rawtist are you, son?

We lost Asian Chad to fucking 13 Reasons Why.

It's just not fair.

I still don't understand how. I mean didn't that chick die

>his father’s death and avenge him,
they straight up killed Fred???
goddamn

honestly , this all sounds cool....just less archie-ish.

I was hoping for something more straight horror
>one of the female characters that will discover herself to be bisexual.
WHO??
did we? I was always excited for it

KJ posts here?

What did she say?

actually, serious question, why is it that all the CW shows shoot in vancouver?

oh, what??
guess i'm watching this shit. thats my favorite waifu

>The only requirement for the CW to greenlight a script is that is has to be mainly about beautiful people and angst. That's it.
Idk, does anyone know how many pilots CW typically orders, and how many they pick up?
as well as how many contenders there are for pilots?
the only shows I remember not being picked up was the Gossip Girl spin-off

Cheap

now we have to do 13 Reasons Why the stalker shot up the school

Cole Sprouse probably introduced him to it

Reason 1: FUCKING NORMALFAGS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SCHOOL

Just checking in to say: I still hate it
I'll give the new season 3 episodes to win me over but life is too short for anything else.

They filmed right by my house eh. thats was probably me in my car driving pass Luke Perry because I did drive pass when they were filming

>The S on Jughead's shirt is going to be because he'll become the boss of the Southside Serpents.

GET. HYPE.

cole posts here?
for real?

Supposedly they shitpost on Sup Forums, which wouldn't surprise me based on their Twitter feeds over the past
