The CW president Mark Pedowitz has revealed that a second Riverdale spinoff has been mentioned!
The network head shared the news recently that he has “spoken to Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa about another Riverdale spin-off,” according to Deadline.
The site reports that Mark hasn’t seen a script yet, but Roberto, who is the Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics, is thinking about the future of the characters of the show.
“I do know that he’s thinking long term on how to continue the Riverdale situation,†Mark said.
The series has already seen one spinoff, Katy Keene, which unfortunately ended after only one season on The CW. One of the characters will appear this season on Riverdale though!
Riverdale is getting ready to kick off it’s fifth season, which is starting out by wrapping up the season four storylines before making a seven year time jump.
The 24-year-old actress went on A Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night (January 12) and shared what Betty Cooper’s adult job is after the time jump.
“I’m not a teenager anymore, and my character Betty Cooper is working as an FBI trainee, which is very exciting,” Lili told Stephen. “It’s been really cool. It’s fun.”
She also revealed the meaning behind her poetry book’s title, “Swimming Lessons.”
“I thought of that title as I was falling asleep one night. I was kind of grasping at straws. My editor was telling me I had like one day left to turn in my title and I was like, ‘Gahhh!’” Lili said. “I really just… ‘Swimming Lessons’ came across my mind, and I was like does this work? Yeah, it works. It’s ‘Swimming Lessons,’ it’s kind of nostalgic. It’s something you do when you’re young and you’re learning and you’re trying to stay ‘afloat.’”
The Riverdale actress posted a couple of cute photos of the pair and showed her appreciation for their friendship.
“#HappyNewYear from the #Cooper girls!! 🥂🥳 I can’t express how much I love this human. She has been my rock. My mental health therapy. My friend. She is always there for me and I cherish her dearly 💚 I love you @lilireinhart …here we go #2021,” Madchen captioned her post.
Lili commented, writing, “🥺â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ I love you so much. You have been such a saving grace for me ðŸ™ðŸ».”
The duo of course play Alice and Betty Cooper, and will be back on our TV screens in just two weeks. Check out the latest pics of Madchen and Lili from the Riverdale season five premiere!
