The CW is on a somewhat of a cancelation spree right now, and they’re ready to say goodbye to one of their most popular shows. The beloved teen drama Riverdale has been renewed for its seventh season, but it will also be the show’s last.
The CW boss Mark Pedowitz released an official statement announcing the show’s renewal and added they made a decision to end the show after having a long conversation with its creator and executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
“I am a big believer of giving series that have had a long run an appropriate send-off… We are going to treat the show in the manner it deserves. It’s been an iconic pop culture star and we want to make sure that it goes out the right way,” said Pedowitz.
Riverdale was renewed in March and the cancellation of its ultimate cancelation comes shortly after the CW canceled seven shows in a single day just last week, including Dynasty, Charmed, and Legacies.
Riverdale is based on the Archie Comics and follows a group of teens who find themselves entangled in the mysteries of their small town while coming of age. The show premiered on The CW in 2017 and its cast includes KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, and Madelaine Petsch.
