Riverdale Season 4 is coming and set to be MORE dramatic than ever

Riverdale – the runaway Netflix hit has returned for a fourth season and after season threes endless plot twists and serial killers, we have *just about* kept up with it all. So, where are we exactly? Well, we were left with a blood-stained Archie, Betty, and Veronica burning Jughead's beanie, vowing to go their separate ways and it looks like were going to get some final light on that…

Riverdale season 4 trailer and plotlines

Netflix and The CW have not released a trailer for Riverdale just yet, but it is expected in late summer so keep your eyes peeled.

So far we know that the first episode of season four will address the death of Perry, who played Archie's dad, Fred Andrews, who tragically died after suffering a stroke earlier this year.

In a tweet, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared that the first episode of season four would be a tribute to the beloved cast member

“Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale well do this year, if not ever,” he wrote. “A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honor Luke & Fred.”

Other clues weve had on the plot is that Molly Ringwald is sticking around as Archies mother. Also, all previous three seasons have been based around a mystery (Jasons death in season, the Black Hood in season two and the Gargoyle King in the last season) so its looking likely season four will be based on something new.
