Archie TV Universe Goes Beyond Riverdale

Last month, Archie Comics creative force and Riverdale producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa hinted at plans to expand their television universe beyond the Riverdale series. Those plans just got a bit more official, with the announcement of a new deal with Warner Bros.

First revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, the deal will cover multiple, still unrevealed shows to be produced by the studio and Archie Comics, based on the publisher’s vast roster of beloved characters. Pitched as the latest stage of the company’s plans to modernize its stable of characters (which included the excellent reboot of the main Archie series a couple years ago), the plan means we can probably expect more shows on the CW and beyond to be announced in the near future.
