ARCHIE COMICS in the Media

WHAT WE KNOW:
Fox and Greg Berlanti are developing Archie, Betty and Veronica, Josie and the Pussycats and the rest of the gang from Archie Comics into the new series, 'Riverdale.' The drama landed with a script deal plus penalty and Warner Brothers TV is producing with studio-based Berlanti Productions which has brought 'Arrow,' 'The Flash' and soon 'Supergirl' to the small screen.XXXXWritten by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics, Riverdale is named after the fictional town where most Archie Comics characters reside and which will serve as the setting for the show. Set in the present, the series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica, and their friends, exploring the surreality of small-town life…the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade. The series will showcase the eternal love triangle of Archie Andrews, girl-next-door Betty Cooper, and rich socialite Veronica Lodge, and will include the entire cast of characters from the comic books—including Archie’s rival, Reggie Mantle, and slacker best friend, Jughead Jones. Popular gay character Kevin Keller will also play a pivotal role, with other characters from Archie Comics’ expansive library also slated to appear, including Josie and the Pussycats.
