Why does Cheryl go to Riverdale High and not Pembrooke Academy

To keep her around.

But how can they call this a fresh spin on a comic book classic unless they change the gender and race of one or more of the main characters? #MakeRiverdaleDiverse

Veronica is played by Camila Mendes.

Josie is the redhead here.

Riverdale's Josie is Ashleigh Murray (center in the pic below), who is bumped up to a co-starring role here. In fact, the entire Pussycats band is African-American.

Reggie is Asian.

Kevin Keller, the notably gay character created for the comics in 2010, is also getting some shine, played by Casey Cott.

DontBeThatGuy · Sep 12, 2016

Josie looks good.

cj_iwakura · Sep 12, 2016

Are Dilton and Moose in as well? I think those're the only ones missing so far.

Also, some previews were saying that Moose

is getting some action with Kevin on the downlow

yep. Moose is played by Cody Kearsley and Daniel Yang is Dilton.

Talk about a stacked deck. Hope the writers can keep everyone involved.

Camila Mendes is so gorgeous. Wow.

GhostWriter24 · Oct 8, 2016

Camila (Veronica) and Lili (Betty) are incredible, as is Madelaine Petch as Cheryl Blossom. They really did a brilliant job casting all the roles.

Pluto · Oct 8, 2016

Those pictures make me ship Archie and Jughead.

I mean, CW is known for casting beautiful people, but that cast is off the charts even by their standards.

They're equally as talented. I know it seems ridiculous, but the main 4 + Cheryl, Kevin, the Pussycats, Ginger and Tina are all wonderful.

Good god this network has some attractive people.

Have we seen Reggie yet?

NotTheGuyYouKill · Oct 9, 2016

The most CW CW cast ever. Good lord.

Fuu · Oct 9, 2016

more randomness and attractive people being attractive:

most of his pics with the cast are of them hanging out, but I think he took these from the set:

OT, but Reggie is getting his own comic too, lol:

GhostWriter24 · Oct 16, 2016

Archie with Valerie - Aren't they the cutest?

Hermione Lodge (Marisol Nichols)

Grizzlyjin · Oct 16, 2016

The cast looks so charming. I'm hoping that chemistry translates onscreen. I feel like this and iZombie would pair well together.

The cast is wonderful -- especially Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica -- with a particular nod to Cheryl and Josie (of the Pussycats). They are truly electric onscreen.

Fuu · Oct 19, 2016

There's an one-shot tie-in comic for the show coming out in January, and I noticed this lovely Twin Peaks homage among the images they released so far:

Veronica channeling Audrey and Pop's under that nice Black Lodge lighting.

Some recent pics:

GhostWriter24 · Oct 19, 2016

Archie and Veronica. I literally can't.

GhostWriter24 · Oct 22, 2016

Archie, Betty, Jughead, Cheryl straight chillin.

Premiere set for Jan. 26

(Thanks Danthrax!)

On Thursday, January 26, SUPERNATURAL returns from its winter hiatus at its new time (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT), followed by the series debut of The CWs new drama RIVERDALE (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT), a surprising and subversive take based on the iconic characters from Archie Comics.

Ditto. I think it's going to be amazing though. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is supremely talented. His work on Big Love was stupendous.

A CW show with average looking people would be weird.

PSqueak · Nov 17, 2016

After all this time, i still find weird that they changed Josie's race rather than bump up Valerie as the leader of the pussycats, even after they revealed they made all of them african-american, it feels weird that they wouldn't put front and center the one character that already was black from an overwhelmingly white cast of comicbook characters.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend might be the closest thing to having an average looking cast on the CW. I think it counters this by being the best show on the network.

Veronica is too beautiful though.

GhostWriter24 · Nov 25, 2016

Just the Riverdale cast being awesome. (Betty, Josie, Fred, Archie with hair not yet dyed red, Veronica, Jughead, Cheryl)

Not · Nov 25, 2016

The idea for this show is so weird

Someone thought Archie's Weird Mysteries just needed to be TV-PG and live action to really take off

Poyunch · Nov 25, 2016

I can't get over one of the twins from Zach and Cody is in a gritty portrayal of Archie.

Also Veronica is beautiful. I always preferred Betty in the cartoon as a kid but Camilla Mendes' eyebrows are on fleek.

Sulik2 · Nov 25, 2016

I want to live in the world where these CW casts come from. I hope the show is good, but CW is at least launching a dozen modeling careers with this cast.
