"Archie Comics" has been around for as long as anyone can remember that for some, Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead seem more like a friend than mere characters in a story. These beloved characters never really go out of style so it is high time that a TV show about them will soon be released this January, the CW series, "Riverdale." Yet this new series will reportedly present the characters in an entirely different light with drama and murder to be a string theme in its plot
According to, Entertainment Weekly, "Riverdale" is set to air its first episode entitled, "The River's Edge," on Jan. 26, 2017. The launch is in line with the 75th anniversary of the popular comic book which first came out in 1939.
The plot of "Riverdale" will begin with the mysterious death of a popular and well-loved high school guy, Jason Bloom as posted in Collider. Amidst this mystery, Archie will be shown realizing that his ultimate dream is to make it big in the music industry but then at a loss on who can help him on the road to success. He is at odds with a former friend, Jughead and just ended his secret affair with his music teacher, Ms. Grundy.
