Ginchy! Riverdale season 7 takes the characters back to the 1950s for the show’s final season — where these cool cats are the bees’ knees of high school for one more go-round.“It’s been really, really, really fun.

It was creatively energizing for the writers when we landed on this concept,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told Decider in a March 2023 interview. “We didn’t want to tell stories about, you know, Betty [Cooper] being a therapist and treating people, and Archie trying to be a foster father to his uncle’s long lost son, and Tabitha [Tate] franchising Pop’s all over the country … We just kind of wanted to go back to high school, but we didn’t want to repeat what we’d done.”The concept of taking Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) and his gang back in time was first introduced in the Season 6 finale after the group worked together to save themselves from a comet hurling toward their town.

The shift allowed the CW hit — which has been known for its dark tones and bizarre narratives since it premiered in 2017 — to channel the original Archie Comics universe and showcase the characters reflecting their classic counterparts.“Going back to the ’50s allowed us to go back to the animating idea of the series, which is that there’s a wholesome, innocent quality to these Archie Comics, but underneath there’s these darker, more passionate roiling emotions and themes that we wanted to engage with,” Aguirre-Sacasa explained. “And the ’50s veneer allowed us to do that in, I thought, a new, fresher way.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesHowever, just because the series is hopping back a few decades doesn’t mean Riverdale will lose what makes it unique.
