Inspired by the horror-tinged relaunch of the same name by writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Robert Hack, the series has received a two season commitment from Netflix with the first season expected to premiere on the streaming service later this year. The adaptation is developed for television by Aguirre-Sacasa who will also executive produce the series.
While a crossover between the new show and fellow live-action Archie adaptation Riverdale is not expected at this time, the official Archie Comics Instagram account posted a montage of ominous comic art from the series’ source material teasing sinister sorcery and black magic for the series’ setting in Greendale.
