Like Animal Kingdom yesterday, Riverdale has completely lost the plot in its fifth season. Similar to Billions (which also wrapped in this big week of finales) Riverdale returns sooner than you think. November 16, 2021 to be exact. Yep next month!
KJ Apa continues as Archie Andrews, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, alongside Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones. SPOILER ALERT. This is also the last season featuring...
Mark Consuelos as Hiram Lodge.
This follows his wife, Marisol Nichols as Hermione Lodge leaving previously.
A quick recap of the 19th episode of season five. So Betty graduates to the title of Special Agent at the FBI, then opens the Riverdale field office.
Veronica vows to exile Hiram once and for all after he is responsible for a fire at Pop's. Jughead and Tabitha burn the office of the Lodge Ledger to get revenge.
Toni and Fangs struggle to maintain control of the Serpents.
Cheryl learns that her ancestor was burned at the stake by Jughead, Archie, and Betty's ancestors and demands they apologize at the town forum. She vows to use her good to create a school for troubled girls on Thornhill's grounds, and unincorporated from Riverdale.
Veronica and Reggie rekindle their romance as they plan for a casino in town.
Archie names Tabitha, Toni, Alice, and Frank to the town council to help reincorporate Riverdale.
Betty and Archie decide to begin a romantic relationship themselves, but as they are about to have sex in Archie's bedroom, they find a bomb under the bed that is about to go off.
The bomb is left by Hiram as his final act in the series. As Hiram drives away, Archie's house is seen blown up in a fiery smoke. The smoke over Riverdale is some of the worst special effects all season. Legit.
So hot Gossip ahead of Season Six of this train wreck series?
Cheryl invoked a centuries-old curse spoken by her ancestor Abigail while she was burned alive as a witch, and a cold wind blew through Riverdale as a result. The curse was originally on the ancestors of Archie, Betty and Jughead, so Cheryl’s curse could spell trouble for those three when Season 6 kicks off with a five-episode event, dubbed “Rivervale.”
Sabrina (yep the recent Netflix Sabrina reboot) will turn up in Episode 4, titled The Witching Hour(s), where she’ll assist Cheryl as she performs a dangerous spell. Not sure when Riverdale will return in 2022 or how many episodes they will spin out this next season. However lets hope season six is not as much of a mish mash of crazy that season five was.
In Australia, Riverdale streams weekly on Netflix.
