The CW has released the
first teaser for Riverdale, the network's loose Archie adaptation that offers "a
surprising and subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica and their friends,
exploring the surrealism of small town life — the darkness and weirdness
bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade."
In the series, as a
new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent,
tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom — and nothing feels the
same… Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s
events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow
in his dad’s footsteps—despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship
with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Which means
Archie doesn’t have anyone who will mentor him — certainly not singer Josie
McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), who is only focused on her band, the
soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats. It’s all weighing heavily on Archie’s mind —
as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead
Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is
anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s not
quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves – which are
hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick) aren’t the only
thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes),
arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols),
there’s an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica
doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie.
And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)… Riverdale’s Queen Bee is
happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is
keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious
death of her twin brother, Jason? Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town,
but there are dangers in the shadows…
