Based on the characters from Archie Comics, Riverdale gives a subversive take on small-town life. Riverdale follows all-American teen Archie Andrews, budding writer Jughead Jones, focused singer Josie McCoy, girl-next-door Betty Cooper, and new student, Veronica Lodge. As a new school year begins, nothing feels the same after the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom.
