'Riverdale'

Created was by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and the series is based on the Archie Comics, that have been around for nearly 80 years.

Started by K.J. Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Casey Cott, Madelaine Petsch and Ashleigh Murray, the story tells a darker side of the town Riverdale. After the death, apparently a suicide, by Jason Blossom, everyone in town becomes suspicious about everyone.

Twists, drama, romances, and mystery are the fundamental parts of the show, which premiere happened in the beginning of 2017, and soon became the guilty pleasure of many people and got a renewal from the CW channel, the only one of the new ones from 2017-2018 to make it.
