Riverdale 7 Gets March Premiere Date, 1950s Setting
The seventh and final season of Riverdale now has a start date.
The CW has announced it will air the first episode on Wednesday, March 29 at 9pm. The show is paired with The Flash which airs at 8pm.
Here' what fans can expect, according to the official synopsis provide by the network:
"The seventh season of Riverdale goes where no season of Riverdale has dared to go before—the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present.
"His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950s.
"Archie Andrews (K.J. Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life-lessons; Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is the girl next door, starting to question everything about her perfect life—including her controlling mother Alice (Madchen Amick); Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) is a Hollywood starlet who moved to Riverdale under mysterious circumstances; Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the Queen Bee with a withering wit and a secret longing; Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) is an activist fighting for the Black students of recently integrated Riverdale High; Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) is a 'square' crooner wrestling with his sexual identity; Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton) is a basketball star from farm country; and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) is a greaser who’s destined to be an Elvis-type star.
"It isn’t until Jughead is visited by Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook)—Riverdale’s Guardian Angel—that he learns the cosmic truth about their predicament. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950s forever? And, if so…is that such a bad thing?"
Dead End: Paranormal Park Cancelled by Netflix
The queer-themed animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park has reached a dead end at Netflix.
The streamer has cancelled the series after posting two seasons which dropped in June and October of last year.
The news was shared on social media by series creator Hamish Steele, whose webcomic Deadendia serves as a basis for the show.
Steele reports that he's held the news for some time and it sounds like Steele tried to find a new home for the series, but was unsuccessful. A third season had been worked on, which would have the characters, "the proper ending they deserve."
Steel sums up saying that he has a third volume of Deadendia coming and, "Season 3 was based heavily on it."
