Archie Andrews was arrested at the end of RIVERDALE’s second season, thanks to Hiram Lodge who wanted to keep the teen from interfering with his plans. And he will be charged with murder, which means he has an uphill battle to regain his freedom, particularly with a man like Hiram pulling the strings. In a preview from the upcoming third season, we see Archie being carted off to prison. How long he’ll be behind bars remains to be seen, but it’s clear he won’t be spending most of his time behind prison (he will, however, be spouting a new tattoo).
And there’s plenty of trouble coming to town. Veronica is trying to convince her father that he’ll never break her and Archie up, Alice is sleeping with FP and Betty is dealing with some sort of cult — one that appears to have supernatural undertones.
RIVERDAL returns for its third season on Wednesday, October 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
