Whether you are yet to start seeing Riverdale season 5 — which released on Netflix on 21st January — or so are up to date and eagerly expected the next installment, chances are, a specific thought has crossed your mind: ‘Is there likely to be a Riverdale season 6?’
Well, we’re very happy to tell you the answer is yes! Riverdale has formally been renewed for its sixth show.
In a non-COVID world, enthusiasts could expect Season 6 to premiere in October like Seasons 2, 3, and 4 failed. But since Season 5 did not start filming until autumn 2020, do not expect the show’s first season to premiere till at least premature 2022.
Since Riverdale Season 5 is still underway, no Season 6 preview was released yet. But, fans can keep checking this space for more updates on the upcoming time as they arrive.
Unless something big changes, you can count on Core Four celebrities KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, Camila Mendes, and Lili Reinhart reprising their various roles of Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, and Betty Cooper. Other principal cast members like Madelaine Petsch, Casey Cott, and Vanessa Morgan are also likely to return. No new cast members have been announced yet for Season 6.
Since Riverdale Season 5 features a seven-year time leap, there is a very good chance Season 6 will be set during that timeframe too. I mean, they’re not likely to era up the personalities two seasons in a row, are they? Whatever is possible on Riverdale, but even that appears to be a lot.
For Season 6, fans can pretty much expect to see the now-adult personalities of Riverdale solve yet another new mystery in the city, and likely deal with tons for play while they are at it.
