>As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom — and nothing feels the same… Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad’s footsteps—despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Which means Archie doesn’t have anyone who will mentor him — certainly not singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats. It’s all weighing heavily on Archie’s mind — as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves – which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick) aren’t the only thing holding her back.
>When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there’s an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)… Riverdale’s Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason? Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but there are dangers in the shadows…

This sounds horrible.

This is so whacked it has to be amazing
>Jughead is played by Zack and Cody
lol

People have suggested it's satire, but frankly that is giving Berlanti way too much credit. The only way this will be good is if it's a trainwreck of the highest order.
I can't believe I live in an age where Archie has slept with Ms. Grundy.

CW is just doing what they always do: creating a generic drama show for teenagers.

Pretty excited for this, looks just as trashy as a modern tween Archie ought to be, and I'm loving the knee jerk 180 degree turn /co/ has taken on the show, going from loving Archie meets Twin Peaks twist to now whining how it isn't a total 1940s innocent America throwback nostalgia gimmick show.

digital imaging technician. Basically I'm next to the camera guy making sure things look good on monitors and I'm also in charge of making sure footage gets on a drive to give to the post houses.
>JUGHEAD JONES | A hearing-impaired actor is being sought to play Jughead as an “emo-heartthrob.” The lanky lad is Archie’s former best friend, seeing as the two still are smarting from a rift that took place between them. Angry, but with a philosophical bent, Jughead “refuses to take the olive branch being proffered by Archie, the hurt goes that deep.”
>>83069425
Goddamn it, why is Jughead hotter than Betty?
>>83069425

I know it's hard to tell since it pretty much takes place in the editing room, but what's the tone of this series?
So is there an Archie recommended reading list?
I read Afterlife with Archie a few days ago and from what I've heard, the main series is completely different in tone. So now I'm curious.
>>83070077
Who is best girl?
I hope whoever thought this was a good idea, gets shot in the face.
>>83070364
From what I've seen, picture Gossip Girls or Pretty Little Liars, but a bit more light hearted.
>>83070425
Archie VS Predator
>>83072512
think you mean Archie vs Punisher
>>83070240
I's some kind of crown/beanie combo from what the trailer showed.
>>83070344
Just in time to promote the new movie.
>>83070425
The original/main Archie series and its spin-offs are basically PG-rated slice-of-life comedies, akin to John Hughes movies. Afterlife With Archie was a big deal because it took these seemingly wholesome characters and stuck them in the middle of a zombie apocalypse with real consequences and emotional turmoil. The same goes for The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, which I also highly recommend.

Both are worth a read.

wait, there was a trailer already?
