Synopses of the first four episodes and some new promotional stills.

1. Chapter One: The River's Edge (January 26, 2017)

>SERIES PREMIERE - As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. 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 Fred’s (Luke Perry) footsteps — despite his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Miss Grundy (Sarah Habel). With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Archie looks for a new music mentor and turns to Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) but she is focused solely on her band, Josie and the Pussycats. Weighing heavily on his mind is also his fractured friendship with budding writer 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, but Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a move. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), Riverdale’s Queen Bee, who is happy to stir up trouble amongst the others even though she’s keeping a few secrets of her own.

2. Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil (February 2, 2016)

>SECRETS UNRAVELED - As new details of Jason’s death begin to emerge, Archie pleads with Miss Grundy to come forward with what they heard at Sweetwater River. Betty makes an effort to mend her friendship with Archie but takes a different stance with Veronica, who is trying to make up for her actions. With rumors around her brother’s death running rampant, Cheryl deals with the pressure in an unexpected fashion, while tensions boil over when Jughead stumbles upon a secret Archie was hoping to keep hidden. Plans for the annual fall pep rally move forward with a performance by Josie and the Pussycats and a special appearance by Mayor McCoy (Robin Givens), Josie's mother.

Hell no, I cant stand the indecisive ginger shit. And CW is cancer

3. Chapter Three: Body Double (February 9, 2017)

>THE GIRL WHO CRIED SHOTGUN — After new information surrounding Jason’s death comes to light, Cheryl finds herself under a cloud of suspicion and forced to come clean about the last time she saw her brother. Meanwhile, Archie makes a tough decision that puts a major strain on his relationship with Miss Grundy. Elsewhere, Betty decides to revive the school newspaper and asks for Jughead’s help in investigating Jason’s death. Veronica decides to help Ethel Muggs (Shannon Purser) expose Reggie Mantle (Ross Butler) and other Riverdale High’s football players after rumors of a "shame book" begin to circulate. After being grounded by his father Fred, Archie must figure out a way to make it to the Taste of Riverdale event where Josie and the Pussycats will be performing a song he helped write.

4. Chapter Four: The Last Picture Show (February 16, 2017)

>HOLDING ON — When Jughead learns that an anonymous buyer has plans to tear down the local drive-in, he fights desperately to keep it open. Betty finds her friendship with Archie on the line after stumbling upon some startling information she’s uncovered about Miss Grundy’s past. Elsewhere, Veronica confronts her mother Hermoine about a suspicious meeting she witnessed between Hermione and a shady member of the Southside Serpents, a dangerous gang that lives and operates on the fringes of Riverdale. After uncovering Betty’s diary, a vengeful Alice finds the perfect opportunity to destroy Archie’s golden boy image.

I'll admit that having Jughead's crown appear as a regular hat is somewhat creative. The CW show producers could have scrapped the iconic crown from Jughead's appearance on the show, but they reworked it.

So +1 respect points for that.

Well I don't know why you WOULD have a problem with Archie being a musician since that's like the only actual or consistent personality trait he's had over the years

That's one of the few things about this straight out of the comics.

>>89315274
I could see me getting wasted and binging this with some friends later on if some really retarded shit goes down, but it'll probably just be boringly mediocre.

>>89324812
I doubt they've even filmed or written that far yet since apparently we wont see Sabrina until the very end of the season.

>>89315274
Absolutely.

They better have lots of Reggie.

>>89325175
>Well I don't know why you WOULD have a problem with Archie being a musician since that's like the only actual or consistent personality trait he's had over the years

Not him but to be fair, Archie is not a serious/fulltime musician in the comics.

>wrecking the Archie-Jughead bromance right from the start

Ballsy. I consider myself officially interested.

>>89325169
From TVguide.com

>Riverdale's executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa coyly hinted to Entertainment Weekly: "Some people don't even know Sabrina is in the Archie family. There is absolutely a universe where Sabrina pops up in Riverdale or one town over in Greendale. >Certainly, the priority is launching Riverdale and making sure that show is as good as it can be and as embraced as we want it to be. I'll just tease that Sabrina has potential with a capital P."
>Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told TVGuide.com at the Television Critics Association gathering in Pasadena, Calif. that the Sabrina reboot will be inspired by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, his horror comic book that takes cues from The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby. "It's very much set in the 1960s," he said. "It'll be an occult thing."

Considering that multiple iterations of the character show witches' ages almost never match their appearance & level of maturity and sometimes don't even view time the same way, I think she'll probably still be a teen or at least look like one.

>>89316620
>>89316836
I don't like this. His only love in life is burgers, I have a feeling they are going to make him gay or force him into a relationship. I really hope not. Jughead is above all of that shit.

>>89334308

He still likes burgers as of episode 2. He and Archie make up and agree to go for burgers.

We don't see him eat one in the first 4 episodes though.

It's implied that because he's homeless he can't afford burgers. He stays at the drive-in movies when he can. Every time they're at the diner he never eats.

He's deep in the mystery so I'm guessing he'll be the one to solve it and be rewarded with free burgers for life or something.

>>89334649
HOMELESS?

>>89334750

Yeah he's a gang leader and Skeet is playing him.

The revelation is at the end of episode 4. He leads the same gang that Hiram is paying from jail to lower the prices in Riverdale so he can buy the land.

Alice is overprotective of Betty and has a grudge against anything that could turn Betty into Polly (Betty's sister who tweeked out).

When Polly was dating Jason Blossom (the dead kid) she got into some dark stuff and Alice doesn't want a repeat of that.

The closer Betty gets to Archie, the more forgetful she is with taking her pills which causes Dark!Betty to come out.

Dark!Betty and Veronica nearly boil Chuck alive in episode 3.

>>89335474

Chuck lied about giving Veronica a 'Sticky Maple' so she's trying to get a confession. Betty's involved cause he also did it to Ethel.

He's drugged and handcuffed in Veronica's hot tub which has higher then normal settings.

>>89335874
>Chuck is an asshole

Not sure if want. So Betty is psycho when off her meds?

And what about Archie? A lot of reviews say he's overshadowed in his own show and doesn't do much.

>>89335914

When off her meds Betty starts calling herself Polly (her sisters name) and dresses up like her sister (same makeup, wig, ect).

Archie is overshadowed by Veronica and Kevin.

Archie spends most of the episodes going back and forth with the fake Grundy and trying to befriend Josie.

Veronica owns every scene she's in.

Kevin is just fun. He's also the town bike for straight boys (Moose particularly). He also has a nickname for Archie and Moose's dicks.

(he's seen Archie's cause he pervs but hasn't had it)

>>89336141

So she's not the actual Miss Grundy? /co/ will breathe a sight of relief.

>>89335081
>The closer Betty gets to Archie, the more forgetful she is with taking her pills which causes Dark!Betty to come out.

Is "Dark!Betty" a meme or is that actually a plot point? I thought this version of Betty only took Adderall to help her balance her insane schedule.
