Just when we thought that the Riverdale cast have reached their limit on reveals about the upcoming time jump, KJ Apa surprised us with some more info.

While talking to TV Line, KJ talked about Archie's future and also revealed that our favorite town will be totally different when all our favorite characters return.

"We learn that everyone kind of went their separate ways. Archie enlisted in the Army after graduation, and when he returns, after all that time in the Army, he discovers the town is on the verge of becoming a ghost town, thanks to Hiram," he said.

Of course, it wouldn't be another season of Riverdale if our favorite characters didn't get back together to try to get things back to normal in their hometown.

"They talk about how they can revive the town again. Archie very much takes the lead on this. He came back and saw Riverdale turning to sh*t pretty much, and he’s like, 'There’s no way I’m going to let this happen.' So he wrangles the whole team in, and they figure out ways to revive the town, and the best way to do that is through Riverdale High."

KJ also revealed that he and his co-stars were super excited for the future of the show now that they get to explore different sides of their characters.

"I feel like this is the kind of thing the show needed to kind of freshen up all the characters. The new world of Riverdale, now that we are playing older characters, has changed a little bit," he said.

As fans already know, the show's first episode will actually start off with the future graduates of Riverdale High heading off to prom. KJ noted that while they already knew they were going to continue with the series, it was still an emotional moment.

"I remember shooting those scenes, and really thinking, 'Man, this is going to be the last prom of Riverdale, you know? Where we’re all together, and also in high school.' So I do remember really wanting to hold onto that feeling and live in that as much as I can and be as present as I could on that day of shooting, just because I knew we wouldn’t be able to shoot something like that again," he said.

The season hasn't even started yet and we're already crying. Thanks for that, KJ!
