The one-hour drama will be written by Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto
Aguirre-Sacasa and produced by Warner Brothers Studios and Berlanti
Productions and has been described as a subversive take on the classic Archie
mythos. Greg
Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa serve as
executive producers.
The live-action series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty,
Veronica, and their friends, exploring small-town life and the darkness and
weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade. The show will focus on
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 his slacker
best friend, Jughead Jones.
Popular gay character Kevin Keller will
also play a pivotal role. In addition to the core cast, “Riverdale” will
introduce other characters from Archie Comics’ expansive library, including
Josie and the Pussycats.
Expect to see Archie and the Riverdale gang on CW
later this year.

It seems to me that somebody needs to get into the "Archie" commentary he's been avoiding, if only to establish his bona fides on this topic.
Each issue I have ready to read but I just can't pull the trigger. I hate Archie so much that I am afraid to let go of that sweet anger. I would hate for someone to get it so right that I become a converted.
Well, as Peter Sellers said to Sterling Haydon in Dr. Strangelove, "That would seem, to me, to be a rather odd way of looking at it."
