The premiere of The CW drama is almost upon us. Here’s everything you need to know about the Riverdale live stream and how to watch online if you miss it.
The folks over there at The CW know how to do a fine teen drama, and this newest show promises to be another excellent effort. Here’s everything you need to know about the Riverdale live stream and how to watch online.
The premise is simple enough, and familiar to fans of soapy, nighttime melodrama. It opens with the murder of a popular teen, and then involves a group of friends in the subsequent investigation. The show gathers inspiration from the David Lynch classic, Twin Peaks, but features characters directly from the mid-century lark, Archie Comics.
Fans of the comics won’t recognize more than the characters’ names, as the show takes a much darker, grittier pass at the squeaky clean artifact of American popular culture. Fans will recognize, however, a lot of familiar faces.
The lead character and protagonist Archie Andrews has a couple of very famous parents. Luke Perry plays his father, Fred, and Molly Ringwald will appear a handful of times as Archie’s mother.
Young audiences will also know Archie’s best friend Jughead, played by Cole Sprouse. He was a giant Disney star, headlining his own show with his twin brother in The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody.
The trailer has more than it’s fair share of nods to it muse, Twin Peaks, and you’ll notice it’s taking cues from a lot of murder-mysteries targeting a younger demographic.
