Riverdale Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Riverdale‘s upcoming fifth season is getting closer and closer!

Ahead of the January premiere, we just got brand new poster for the series, which features stars KJ Apa, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart.

Season five will “begin with our characters’ final days as students at Riverdale High. From an epic Senior Prom to a bittersweet Graduation, there are a lot of emotional moments and goodbyes yet to come—with some couples breaking up, as everyone goes their separate ways to college—or elsewhere.

Then, we will redock with our gang as young adults, all returning to Riverdale to escape their troubled pasts. And life—and romance—will only be more complicated now that they’re in their twenties…”

Earlier in the week, we got some new photos from the prom in the season premiere, and earlier in the month, the trailer for the first part of the season was released.

KJ Apa is opening up about new pandemic protocols on the set of Riverdale!

The 23-year-old actor was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, and was asked about how they are handling kissing scenes these days.

If you didn’t know, some productions have actors kiss with a plexiglass in between them, and edit it out later.

“[We rinse our mouths with] Listerine. They have us come to set a little early, and we have to rinse our mouths for one minute. There’s a guy standing there with a timer, counting down sixty seconds,” KJ said. “And we have to rinse our mouths out before the scene, before every take, for sixty seconds. Apparently it kills all the germs in your mouth, but in my mind, by the time you’ve got your tongue in someone’s mouth, I don’t think it really matters, to be honest.”

KJ also opened up about an on set injury he had during an action sequence, while being directed by Michael Bay on the set of Songbird. Check it out in the video!

If you missed it, see who KJ was seen kissing in the Riverdale season five trailer, and see who he almost kissed while on a break from filming on set.

Vanessa Morgan is heading off on maternity leave!

The 28-year-old actress, who is pregnant with her first child, just shared that she has wrapped on Riverdale for a while, and dropped a little spoiler.

While it has been unknown if Vanessa‘s pregnancy would end up being a part of the show’s upcoming fifth season, she just confirmed that it will be.

“Officially on maternity leave!!!! Ahh!! Feeling grateful to my showrunner & producers for being so accommodating & writing my pregnancy into the show!🤰🏽Also proud of my body for allowing me to still work almost 9 months preggo.
