Riverdale season 6 plot
The sixth season began with the five-episode crossover arc "Rivervale". This story picked up right were season 5 ended, with Archie and Betty giving their relationship another go just as a bomb under Archie's bed was set to blow.
However, that bomb didn't seem to explode, and the couple found themselves waking up in the town of Rivervale, a much darker version of the show's setting where ghosts, demons, witches and curses are the norm, forcing the gang to try and find a way back to their own universe.
The second half of Riverdale season 6 returned us to the original town with pep, and with Hiram Lodge banished from the town, the series returns to that same fateful explosion and follows the characters as they grapple with the side effects of their time in Rivervale. As ever, things in Riverdale are never simple, so new things quickly start to unfold... at least Barchie are finally a couple!
Is there a trailer?
The CW released a very short teaser revealing what we can expect in the second half of Riverdale season 6 in mid-march. Although it doesn't give much away, it looks like there's plenty more drama on the way; it even teased the return of the Trash Bag Killer!
Something's not right in Riverdale. New episodes return on a new night this Sunday at 8/7c on The CW!
