"Riverdale" EP on Season 3 Reveals, "A Very Different" Spin-off That’s in the Works & "Sabrina" – TCA

Here’s what "Riverdale" creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had to tease at TCA:
– First, in regards to "Riverdale" spin-off "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" on Netflix, The CW president Mark Pedowitz said that there weren't any crossovers in in the works.
Likewise, no one from "Riverdale" will make a cameo on the Netflix series when it drops at the end of October. But, why? “I think right now we’re just making sure that the shows have their own identities and own set-of-rules,” says Aguirre-Sacasa.
– Aguirre-Sacasa said there’s another spin-off that’s in the works on The CW.
“We’re still early on in the process and it will be very different from Riverdale,” says Aguirre-Sacasa who mentioned it would be “in this development cycle.”
– A long planned flashback episode with the adults as high school teens is happening entitled “The Midnight Club”, . It will be the fourth in the season.
“It’s our take on The Breakfast Club,” says the creator.
Essentially all the younger actors will play their parents, read K.J. Apa (Archie) plays the younger version of Archie’s dad Fred (we hear he has a killer Luke Perry impersonation), and Camilla Mendes (Veronica) will play her younger mom Hermione (Marisol Nichols), etc.
“We learn learn about a really dark secret that the parents have been keeping since they were in high school.” He also added that in regards to the flashback episode, “We’ve been teasing this for years, going back to season 1. I call this the ‘Lili Reinhart Memorial episode’ because she’s been wanting to do a flashback episode for years,” said the creator.
– Aguirre-Sacasa also teased a wedding episode next season “between an ex-sheriff and ex-major” hinted the creator about Martin Cummins’ Tom Keller and Robin Givens’ Sierra McCoy tying the knot.
“They seem to be the most stable relationship on Riverdale right now,” said Aguirre-Sacasa.
– “It is true that there might be a new love interest for Veronica and you might see seeds of that in episode 3,” says Aguirre-Sacasa.
– Mark Consuelos’ Hiram Lodge is not out of the picture, and Archie will be on trial when season 3 opens after being arrested for the murder of Cassidy.
Meanwhile, Hiram’s better half Hermione will “delicately stand-up to her better half” says Nichols with her newfound power as Riverdale mayor, yes, even as he attempted to kill her.
– The Black Hood — is he coming back?
“All these mysteries like Jason Blossom, Hiram’s criminal empire, the Black Hood, they never go away completely but become part of the bedrock of the mythology town. I would say there’s some ski mask out there that could pop up,” says the creator, but don’t expect him anytime soon.
– “Jughead is a really good leader of The Serpents,” says Aguirre-Sacasa.
And Betty by his side? “That’s a big story point in the season premiere, they really define what means. What Serpent Queen means and whether they’re all in or not.”
