After six seasons of life at' Riverdale', Archie Andrews and the gang will bid adieu with what will be the seventh and final season of the hit show on The CW. In what came as a shocker, the network canceled nine of its shows earlier this year and with the potential buyout looming, there were concerns about the show's future, but there is indeed good news for fans.

The list of renewed shows includes 'All American', 'The Flash', 'Kung Fu', 'Nancy Drew', 'Superman & Lois', and 'Walker'. It also made sense as these were some of the blockbuster shows that garnered eyeballs on each airdate and 'Riverdale' was part of the roster. "As we prepare for the 2022-23 season, these scripted series, along with the alternative series we renewed earlier, will serve as the start of a solid foundation utilizing some of our most-watched series for us to build on for next year and beyond," said CW chairman Mark Pedowitz at the time.
