When does Riverdale season 7 come out?
Riverdale season 7 is scheduled to come out on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 9 PM ET on The CW.
The official synopsis from the network reads:
“The seventh season goes where no season has dared to go before—the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950s.”
Netflix has still to confirm the official release date for season 7, however, many sources are predicting it will land on the platform in late August-September 2023.
The CW also has long-running superhero show, The Flash, coming to an end this year, which will be split into two graphic novel arcs.
