We are just one day away from the final premiere of a new Riverdale run and we confirm when season 7 will come out by offering the release time on The CW and Netflix for international viewers, as well as introducing the confirmed cast.

The CW has two, major series coming to an end this year, joining the superhero show, The Flash, which would have explored the Blackest Night arc had it continued into season 10.

Adapted by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for The CW, Riverdale is a supernatural drama series based on the characters of Archie Comics, following a group of teens who have to solve a murder and uncover dark secrets in the titular town, starring K.J. Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and Cole Sprouse.

Riverdale season 7 release time on The CW

Riverdale season 7 is scheduled to release on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 9 pm ET and 8 pm CT on The CW.

Season 7 will consist of 20 episodes and each installment will air weekly on a Wednesday night.

The series finale has already been confirmed to be on August 23, 2023, and our full release schedule confirms the release dates and episode titles of the first five installments.

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.”
