Tonight’s the night – the Riverdale gang is graduating!
The all new episode is the final one before the series jumps forward seven years. This ep was originally meant to be the season six finale.
Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who wrote the episode, revealed that not all of the characters made to the episode.
“Today’s a big day in #Riverdale. As excited/nervous as I was for my own high school graduation waaaay too many years ago. Somehow, this one means more. Not all of our characters survived to make it to graduation. Not all of the actors we wanted to come back were able to for various reasons (including Covid). But so grateful to everyone in this picture. And to many more who aren’t in the picture, but we’ll be seeing soon. Next stop: Seven years in the future…🚀🎢📸👀💥☠ï¸,” he shared on Instagram, where he’s been sharing tidbits.
“All the secrets will come out; all the tears will flow,” Roberto shared the day before.
“The gang finally graduates, tonight. 🎓 a very sentimental, emotional episode for everyone who has been on this Riverdale journey with us since day 1,” Lili Reinhart shared on her social media.
“Everything changes tonight. @thecwriverdale,” KJ Apa added.
If you missed the good news, it was just announced that Riverdale has already been picked up for another season, along with many other CW shows!
