It might not come as a huge surprise to loyal viewers that after the time jump of season five, Riverdale’s sixth season has fully leaned into the weird by switching the name to Rivervale.

The season showcases Jughead Jones as a Rod Serling style announcer, and kicked things off by unceremoniously murdering Archie Andrews in a ritual fertility sacrifice.
