‘Riverdale’ renewed for a seventh season, but it will be the last

The hitherto untouchable series of The CW has also fallen into a black year for the North American network aimed at young audiences. ‘Riverdale’ has been around for a seventh season, but it will be the last of the series. It will be released next year.

The fiction based on the Archie comics began its broadcasts in January 2017 with a more dramatic tone than the vignettes of the redhead and his friends. With the mystery by flag, throughout six seasons we have been seeing how the plots became more bizarre, until reaching a sixth season in which they are flirting with superpowers. But along the way we have seen from deaths to dead that were very much alive, sects, gangsters, serial killers, fight clubs, underground clubs and even a visit from a teenage witch. Not to mention the high amounts of love and sex and the virtuosity of the writers to find excuses to take KJ Apa’s shirt off.

The protagonist and the rest of the cast, in which we find Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes and Cole Sprouse as Betty, Veronica and Jughead, have become teen idols, giving ‘Riverdale’ that freak feel when ratings aren’t being too high lately.

The CW for sale?

Fiction joins a fairly long list of cancellations within The CW, among which are ‘Charmed’, ‘Roswell, New Mexico’, ‘Legacies’, ‘Dynasty’, ‘Batwoman’ or ‘Legends of Tomorrow’. Few series survive for the next television season, with a strong DC presence with ‘The Flash’, ‘Superman & Lois’, ‘Stargirl’ and the new ‘Gotham Knights’, the returns of ‘Nancy Drew’ or ‘Walker’ or ‘ Kung Fu’, and new series like ‘The Winchesters’ or ‘Walker Independence’. All of these rather drastic moves by the network continue to support the rumor that the channel is likely to be put up for sale very soon. and are doing general cleaning before that. At the moment we just want a series as crazy as ‘Riverdale’ to bring us a great ending that leaves us speechless.
