The CW’s hit show Riverdale wrapped up it’s second season back in May with plenty of surprises and even a few cliffhangers. Season three, which premieres tonight at 8PM on the CW, plans to be even bigger and bring even more problems to the town of Riverdale. We had the opportunity to catch up with the cast at San Diego Comic-Con to learn what’s in store for season three.
With past residents coming back to town and a possible “cult”, season three looks to be even more action-packed than normal.
Catch our coverage below (and our apologies for the poor audio quality in parts):
