The CW Chief on Giving Long-Running Series "Riverdale" an “Appropriate Send-Off”, Season 7 Expected to Get Full Order

The CW revealed this morning that it was bringing “iconic” drama series "Riverdale" to an end with its seventh season and it plans to give it an “appropriate send-off”.

Boss Mark Pedowitz, speaking on the network’s Pre-Upfronts call, said that “we are going to treat the show in the manner it deserves.”



“I am a big believer of giving series that have had a long run an appropriate send-off. We had a long conversation with Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] yesterday and he is thrilled with the decision.

We are going to treat the show in the manner it deserves. It’s been an iconic pop culture star and we want to make sure that it goes out the right way.”



Pedowitz said that he has not declared how many episodes it will get for its final run but added that he does not believe it will be a “shortened season”.

He added that he thinks “seven years is the right amount”.

"While Riverdale (https://forums.superherohype.com/threads/welcome-to-riverdale-general-discussion.522897/page-12) always had a passionate fanbase behind it, it’s also something of a perennial internet punching bag because of its many, many absurdities over the years," says Michelle Jaworski.
