Riverdale Photos: The CW Brings Archie, Jughead and More Favorites to Life — Plus: Watch the First Trailer
Attention, residents of Riverdale: The forecast is calling for dark skies, unearthed secrets and a 100-percent chance of good-looking teenage mischief.
The CW on Monday released new stills from the pilot of its Archie Comics-inspired drama, in which beloved characters like Betty Cooper (Surviving Jack‘s Lili Reinhart), Veronica Lodge (newcomer Camila Mendes) and Jughead Jones (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody‘s Cole Sprouse) find themselves at the center of a murder mystery.
And then there’s The CW’s hunked-up version of Archie (New Zealand actor K.J. Apa) whose romantic entanglements with Betty and Veronica are, understandably, among the least of his worries.
