This week is hectic for drama lovers as many of our favorite shows return this week, including Riverdale Season 5 on The CW. After the dark and tense last season, the new season of the series will see some fun at Riverdale High. But that does not mean there won’t be a mystery to hook you on.
What is Riverdale Season 5 About?
We saw some great struggles in the past season of Riverdale. To brush up on things, Riverdale Season 4 began with a funeral and tribute to Archie’s late father, the beloved Fred Andrews. the shadow of that tragedy loomed over Archie—and only darkened when Fred’s brother Frank arrived, bringing unforeseen complications with him.
Meanwhile, after Betty (Lili Reinhart) saved her mom and sister from the Farm cult, she joined her brother Charles’s Junior F.B.I. Training Program.
Veronica found herself locked in a season-long battle with her father Hiram and half-sister Hermosa over her burgeoning maple rum business. And, at the urging on FP, Jughead enrolled in a new school, Stonewall Prep, only to be caught up in a mystery that involved his grandfather, the secret author of a series of teen detective novels called “The Baxter Brothers.”
At Thistlehouse, Cheryl was trapped in a gothic nightmare, fighting her demons, literal and metaphoric, with the loving support of her girlfriend Toni. And throughout the season, disturbing unmarked videotapes kept appearing on our characters’ doorsteps, ensuring that there would be one more mystery to solve.
Riverdale Season 5 begins with our characters’ final days as students at Riverdale High. From an epic Senior Prom to a bittersweet Graduation, there are a lot of emotional moments and goodbyes yet to come—with some couples breaking up, as everyone goes their separate ways to college—or elsewhere. Then, we redock with our gang as young adults, all returning to Riverdale to escape their troubled pasts.
And life—and romance—will only be more complicated now that they’re in their twenties…
