@TheCW has announced that Season 7 of the long-running @thecwriverdale will be the series' last, according to Variety. The series premiered in 2017 and "proved to be a major hit for The CW upon its debut," Variety said, going on to add that it "exploded in popularity once it became available on @Netflix." However, ratings have "fallen off some in recent seasons," the Hollywood Reporter noted, specifying that its "current season, airing on Sunday nights, is averaging just under half a million viewers after a week of delayed viewing." The cancellation comes "as The CW is paring down its lineup of scripted originals," THR said. Based on the long-running "Archie" comics — which generally have been the most G-rated of comic books (though they have dived into more mature areas and have also been LGBTQ+ supportive) — the series, created by @writerras, sought to bring a darker edge to the property. Over the show's six seasons, its characters have been sexually active and have wrestled with real-world problems like crime, drug use, youth homelessness, and parental abandonment. The storylines have involved homicides, and even seen lead character Archie Andrews (played by New Zealand actor @kjapa) spend stretches of time in jail. Variety detailed that the final season will commence in 2023, joining the CW lineup at mid-season. ⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ????⁠ ?: @kjapa @thecw
