Riverdale's Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa discusses the big Season 6 premiere twist and leaning into the supernatural this season (https://variety.com/2021/tv/features/riverdale-season-6-premiere-death-supernatural-1235112660/)

The Riverdale creator and showrunner says Tuesday's premiere is "very much in-continuity, so we’re not picking up in (Episode) 606 as we would before it. It is very much continuing, in a strange way, all of the episodes from the end of Season 5. The idea was, ‘Let’s swing for the fences, let’s do something that fans have been asking for,'” Aguirre-Sacasa explains. What fans were asking, he clarifies, is, “‘When is Riverdale going to go full-horror, full-supernatural?’ That’s always a big decision and a big swing, but it felt like, ‘Oh well, this could be the time to do it.'”

It’s now “Rivervale” with V not a D (?) Is this season 6 or a spin-off? They still have Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and Reggie but now it’s got a new name and it’s dark and creepy.

"Rivervale" refers to only the first 5 episodes of "Riverdale's" sixth season.

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa explained that it's a way for the show's writers to pay tribute to their favorite horror genres like ghosts, the devil, folk, etc.
