Almost after 5 successful years, Riverdale is approaching its seventh and finale season, a teen drama that revolves around the lives of iconic Archie comics. The Characters of the drama come together following a murder, only to discover some deep secrets that exist within their own town. Mark Pedowitz, CEO of CW shared that the series is all ready to bid a final goodbye to its viewers.
He said, “I am a big believer in attempting to give series that have had long runs an appropriate sendoff, we had a long conversation with [executive producer] Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] yesterday, who is thrilled by this news, and we will treat the show in the manner it deserves. We want to make sure it goes out the right” He further added, “I think they, too, felt that seven years is the right amount. As a fan myself, I do want to do what is right for the show.”
KJ Apa, who essayed the character of Archie for so many seasons shared, “I’m sad to be saying goodbye to Riverdale next season, to our sets, to our crew, to our producers, to our CW family but I can speak for everyone, for Cami [Mendes], Cole [Sprouse], Lili [Reinhart] and the rest of our cast that we are so grateful for everyone’s support,” the actor said during the in May 2022. “To the fans, without the fans, none of this would be possible.”
He further continued, “I can’t say I’d miss dying my hair every week, I’m looking forward to being myself again, but I promise you guys, this last season, we are going to end it with a bang, and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
He also shared about the characters experiencing new powers in the upcoming season, “I’m hoping that it comes down to him and me fighting,” he told TV Line in May 2022 of the upcoming showdown. “But I think it becomes a little more intricate than just a physical battle. There’s a lot of dark magic. He’s got powers, we’ve got powers. So it’s very Harry Potter meets Stranger Things.”
The New Zealand native revealed how he was a little sad, because of the finale of the show, “I try not to think about it because the more I think about it, the more real it becomes,” he revealed. “I think a lot of us saw it coming, [Season] 7 most probably being the final season. So it didn’t come as too much of a surprise to me.”
