AIR DATE
That’s right – Chapter Thirty-Six has already been given an airdate of October 10, 2018! That’s only a few months away!

CAST
The main roster is all set to return – with two old pals promoted to series regulars! Welcome Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz and Charles Melton as Reggie Mantle to the main cast! Woo!

NEW FACES
While there’s been no confirmation officially, Jughead’s family Jellybean and Gladys Jones have been teased heavily since Season 1. Keep your eyes peeled for casting news!

OLD FACES
Unfortunately, some unsavoury old faces are slated to return, with Polly (boooo) and Chic Cooper (WHAT? BOOOO) set to return. BOOOO.

NEW MYSTERY
While it’s still tight under wraps, we can only assume that the new season will focus on the underworld SoDale Project with Hiram and his gang of criminals, and pick up with Arch still in the slammer!

But what about Varchie? Bughead? Choni? Mevin? We’ll keep you in the loop if we hear any more! In the meantime, check out The Game of Nerds for all your Riverdale and fandom fun stuff!
