Here’s Your First Look At Archie In The CW’s ‘Riverdale’!

Briefly: For some reason, we (I) were (was) pretty damned excited back in January when we learned that The CW had officially ordered a pilot titled Riverdale, a series based on classic comic character Archie and his pals, which will take place in the present-day and offer “a surprising and subversive take” on the characters and situations.

Today, the official Archie twitter account gave us our first look at KJ Apa’s Archie in the anticipated season, via a photo taken during one of the Vancouver production’s lunch breaks.

You can take a look at the photo below, and be sure to let us know what you think of this new-age take on Archie in the comments below!

Hey @kj_apa, we're digging the hair color! 👀 #Riverdale https://t.co/3wUzkdZcxf pic.twitter.com/6Btvh4RRYh
