What are your thoughts on this, /co/?
>As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is still reeling from the recent, tragic death of golden boy Jason Blossom. The summer's events have made Archie Andrews realize that he wants to pursue a career in music and not follow in his father Fred's footsteps in the construction business. Also weighing on his mind is his fractured friendship with Jughead Jones.
>Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper 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. When a new student, Veronica Lodge, arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione, 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.
>Cheryl Blossom, Riverdale's Queen Bee, is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. Specifically about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason, secrets that Archie might be connected with.
>Riverdale may look like a small, quiet town, but there is darkness hidden underneath the shadows, and as Archie and his friends venture further into its mysteries, its secrets are slowly brought to life, with devastating consequences.
SOFT SPOT FOR MILFS
>>84221407
Looking at the cast, wouldn't you?
RCHIE ANDREWS (K.J. Apa)
>Archie is an intense, conflicted teen, a high school sophomore who is still boyishly handsome but got pumped after working construction for his dad during the summer. He is grappling with heavy issues and juggling the unexpected interest of several girls while discovering his passion for writing and performing music against his father and his football coach’s better wishes. He also harbors more than one dark, terrible secret.
BETTY COOPER (Lili Reinhart)
>Betty is a blonde and pretty sophomore some self-esteem issues and affinity for Adderall. Eager-to-please, wholesome and studious, Betty has a super-crush on her longtime best bud, Archie. But tired of being the "perfect" everything, she turns to her new friend, Veronica, for life advice. Betty hails from a dysfunctional family and has a coveted spot on the cheerleading squad — though with certain conditions...
>>84221407
>CW Sabrina reboot
>Salem is a warlock stuck in a cat's body. He acts as a mentor and friend towards Sabrina. Has a soft spot for MILFs.
VERONICA LODGE (Camilla Mendes)
>A silver-tongued stunner, Veronica has just returned to Riverdale from New York with her divorcee mother, following a scandal which resulted in her father going to prison. Extremely intelligent, self-confident and immediately popular, Veronica is a sophomore and is eager to reinvent herself — from Mean Girl to caring friend, but that might be complicated by her blossoming feelings for Archie, the object of the affections of Veronica's newfound friend Betty.
JUGHEAD JONES (Cole Sprouse)
>Jughead is a caffeine-addict, sullen heartthrob with a philosophical bent. 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, Jughead refuses to take the olive branch being proffered by Archie, the hurt goes that deep.
CHERYL BLOSSOM (Madelaine Petsch)
>This fiery redhead is rich, entitled and never accountable. A manipulative mean girl who kills with kindness, she recently lost her twin brother Jason Blossom, with whom she shared a disturbingly close and intimate relationship, in a mysterious accident, one that might involve Archie.
JOSIE McCOY (Ashleigh Murray)
>Josie is a gorgeous, snooty and ambitious sophomore, and the lead singer for popular band Josie and the Pussycats. A star in the making, she has zero interest in recording any songs written by fellow teen Archie, but that won't stop him from trying.
KEVIN KELLER (Casey Cott)
>Betty's cheerful, openly homosexual, quick-witted best friend, Kevin struggles to mend fences with his conservative father, who refuses to accept his son's lifestyle, and is looking for love in all the wrong places, only to find a kindred spirit in the most unexpected of them.
MOOSE MASON (Cody Kearsley)
>The star player of Riverdale High's football team, Moose becomes fast friends with Archie when he decides to join the team. What he lacks in brains he makes up for in brawl, and has a particular soft spot for milfs.
REGGIE MANTLE (Ross Butler)
>A wealthy and sarcastic sophomore who fashions himself as the big man on campus, Reggie feels threatened when Archie begins stealing his spotlight.
DILTON DOILEY (Daniel Yang)
>Dilton is a brilliant student at Riverdale High, whose introverted demeanor makes him an easy target of the local bullies. However, he is also a keen observer, which makes him quite a threat in a town where everyone has something to hide.
>>84222240
Jughead will probably be the best character. He already is in the comic.
MELODY VALENTINE (Asha Bromfield)
>A cheerful drummer of Josie & The Pussycats.
VALERIE BROWN (Irie Hayleau )
>The ambitious bassist and songwriter of Josie & The Pussycats.
TINA PATEL (Olivia Ryan Stern)

>>84222277
>with whom she shared a disturbingly close and intimate relationship
We want the game of thrones audiance
>>84221363
it's CW, so i wouldn't expect too much. i'd probably watch it for the ginger though
>>84222316
moose "if there was a bun in the oven he's gonna come runnin" mason
GINGER LOPEZ (Caitlin Mitchell-Markovitch)
>One of Cheryl's ever-present best friends, Ginger comes off as aloof and ditzy, but might know more than she lets on.
FRED ANDREWS (Luke Perry)
>Archie's father, Fred is a generally easygoing owner of the family construction company, who hopes Archie will take over the business one day. However, he is not without skeletons in his closet...
HERMIONE LODGE (Marisol Nichols)
>Veronica's seductive, equally silver-tongued mother, who returns to Riverdale in search of new and better prospects after he husband's scandalous and murky imprisonment.
Like "Swiss Army Man" I'm just surprised this show even exists.
HAL COOPER (Lochlyn Munro)
>Betty's father, Hal is a succesful pharmacist and supportive of his daughter's endeavors, but disapproves of her blossoming relationship with Archie and knows more about the secrets of Riverdale that it appears.
ALICE COOPER (Madchen Amick)
>Betty's distant, emotionally brittle mother, Alice is a succesful newspaper publisher and a perfectionist who places exceedingly high expectations on her daughter.
FLOYD CLAYTON (Colin Lawrence)
>The stern coach of Riverdale High's football team, Floyd views Archie as a diamond in the rough, and is willing to go the extreme lenghts to ensure that Archie's musical endeavors won't get in the way of the needs of the team.
GERALDINE GRUNDY (Sarah Habel)
>A dedicated but lonely music teacher at Riverdale High, Ms. Grundy engages in a forbidden relationship with Archie.
>>84222293
>>84222402
>Racebent the two white Pussycats
Well there goes my only reason to watch this.
Will still shitpost in the threads though.
>>84222843
This is by far the weirdest casting choice in this entire show.
CLIFF BLOSSOM (Barclay Hope)
>The wealthiest and most respected man in Riverdale, whose influence is felt in all aspects of town.
PENELOPE BLOSSOM (Nathalie Boltt)
>The stern matriarch of the Blossom family, Penelope is decided to find out what happened to her son.

HUBERT SMITHERS (Tom McBeath)
>The Lodge family's dutiful butler who accompanies Veronica and Hermione to Riverdale, and has an agenda of his own.
>>84222790
Ugh, even the parents don't look right. Floyd has his trademark stripy hair, of course, so let's make him bald...
>>84222843
This almost seems like a parody of what the CW would do to Archie, but it's actually happening.
>>84223203
It's supposed to be satire.
The trailer looked pretty good, even a bit 2spooky4u with the "Twin Peaks" atmosphere.
>literally twin peaks x the OC
>2good2betrue
dont fuck this up Berlanti
>>84223475
he sacrificed arrow to uncle guggie to make this great
>>84224058
Why is /co/ always calling Guggenheim "Uncle Guggie"?
>>84224189
Because he knucklefucked our fartboxes in the closet when he got alone with us. Ruined our childhoods.
>>84221363
sounds good
>>84222240
How pissed is Mark Waid gonna be when CW makes JugHead a Pussy Magnet after he made him Asexual.
>>84222668
>>84222742
>>84222843
>>84222923
Place bets on who Moose gets it on with first.
>>84225661
That was Chip Zdarsky you fool
>>84221363
Won't watch/10
>>84222172
>>84222308
>>84222316
>>84222352
>>84222790
Probably going to guilt fap to this show
I hope Jughead wears the stupid hat.
>CW shoes a comic show on every weekday
What a time to be alive
>>84224189
It's a reddit meme.
>>84221363
Ruined by "everyone must be pretty" syndrome
The possibility of the Pussycats going full Supremes/Destiny's Child is interesting at least and I wish there was a show based on that premise alone.
>>84221363
Where did you get this info and from what website? Also, are you a publicist for Archie? Because every few weeks somebody starts an Archie thread at random that segues into or begins with CW Riverdale info for no reason and its always the same thing. It's also odd that you'd start a whole thread then list news-style pre-made actor headshots and character comparisons with breakdowns of all the characters and story post by post because that happens frequently too. And there's never any news link to say where you got this stuff from. It's just posted like a PR springboard to encourage people to talk or build hype. I'm not accusing you if you are or saying that its bad, but its hard not to wonder if a PR person from Archie Comics is shilling virally about their TV show on /co/ to try and build hype for it before it premieres.
>>84222742
>Madchen
yes plaese.
Chances for. Shame this is CW instead of Netflix Original. Would love an episode of Archie vs Punisher.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch when???
>>84227626
It's not like there was a concept of attractiveness in Archie. Everyone wanted to fuck everyone. Betty and Veronica tried to fuck every guy because attractiveness was never a factor except for a few stories where they'd be all like "oh i was shallow all along"
>>84222172
Shouldn't archie be a read-head? It's his most distinct feature!
>>84222209
I'm surprised by how hot Veronica is. up until I saw Camilla mendes I was a Bettyfag.
>>84229351
He's redhead on the show. The actor is a brunette
>>84222240
Please don't be gay
please don't be gay
please don't be gay.
Aww curses, they're going to make him gay aren't they?
>>84222352
Is Reggie Asian? We've truly over-came if Asian boys can now be jerks!
>>84222402
Goldie Hawn is the best Melody. The thing is Melody's character can't really be used in a modern setting. Here's hoping they don't make her just another dumb girl.
>>84229367
Yep.
This looks really good and a way better fit for a CW TV show than any superhero.
>>84222240
>No long nose
That's okay.
>>84222240
Only reason I'll watch this is because of him. He seems both articulate and witty based on social media. Pretty nice casting choice.
>>84222240
>sullen heartthrob
Yep it's a CW show
>>84227730
Don't you have some condiment bottles to go line up, alphabetically, by size, type, and fullness?
