The CW has announced that it has renewed its live-action Archie Comics series Riverdale for a fourth season, which will get underway later this year.
“We are so excited and so honored that the viewers have made another Riverdale season possible,” said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics CEO/Publisher and Executive Producer of Riverdale. “This show has become a cultural phenomenon that’s engaged the fans in unimaginable ways. It’s been amazing to see these iconic characters brought to life by such a superb cast and crew – with huge thanks to Roberto, Greg, Sara, everyone at Archie Comics, WBTV, The CW, and the entire Riverdale writers room. Most importantly, I want to thank the fans – who made this happen. If you thought season 3 was shocking – hold on. We’re just getting warmed up.”
The third season of Riverdale is currently airing on The CW, while a spinoff based around the Archie character Katy Keene was also ordered to pilot by the network earlier this week.
