Riverdale star, Lili Reinhart, is teasing the show's end and revealing that season 7 is very refreshing. The CW series premiered in 2017 as a reimagining of the classic Archie Comics and quickly became one of the network's most successful programs, gaining further popularity on Netflix, along with an increase in ratings. What began as a murder mystery, following Archie Andrews and his friends as they sought to uncover the truth behind Jason Blossom's death and their seemingly idealistic small town, Riverdale has since taken a supernatural turn, introducing its characters to witchcraft, superpowers and alternate universes. In addition to Reinhart, the show's cast includes KJ Apa, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Charles Melton, and more.
The CW confirmed in March that Riverdale would end after season 7, currently set to premiere next year. A few months back, Reinhart discussed the show's conclusion, sharing how bittersweet it is to know that she will no longer be working alongside her friends and co-stars, but revealed that she is excited for what lies ahead. Fans of the series last saw Cheryl using everyone's powers to destroy Bailey's Comet and save the people of Riverdale. In the end, though, they found the characters had traveled back to the 1950s, portrayed as teenagers again, and only Jughead seemed to remember what had happened. Riverdale season 7 has officially begun filming; many are eager to see where it goes next and how the show decides to handle the finale.
In an interview with Extra at the recent Women in Film event, Lili Reinhart teased the final season of Riverdale and what fans can look forward to. She touched on the new setting and how it gives a "refreshing take" on the characters, and when talking about the finale, she said that it will end "beautifully." Read Reinhart's comments regarding the show's final episodes below:
"Our season is taking place in the ‘50s, which is very fun. I think it kind of gives our last season a very refreshing take on these characters and seeing them in just kind of like a new exciting way. I think the fans who have been along for the ride since Season 1 are going to really appreciate our ending."
What To Expect From Riverdale's Final Season
Little is known about Riverdale's final season, but anything is possible given the show's developments and frequent twists over the years. The series will likely not remain in the '50s, though audiences can expect many episodes to explore the mystery surrounding its sudden change in setting. While Cheryl's fate after the season 6 finale appears up in the air, Madelaine Petsch teased that fans will have to tune in to find out if she survived the comet blast. Whether Jughead can figure out what happened to his friends or possibly get them to remember what last took place remains to be seen.
It should be interesting to see how much time is explored in the 1950s and what exactly will happen when the characters return to the present. Reinhart's comments on Riverdale's ending will undoubtedly excite fans of the show, who have already prepared for the upcoming episodes. Those looking forward to discovering how the series will conclude after six years on television can be sure to tune in when Riverdale season 7 premieres.
