Riverdale season three is officially shooting, and the BTS shenanigans have started already (Picture: Netflix)

So many questions and no answers coming till at least October (probably).

Yeah, we’re devastated about that, because we want Riverdale season three now!

But one thing that we can all take peace of mind in is the fact that our favourite residents (i.e. Archie, Jughead, Betty and Choni) are back hard at work bringing the third instalment of our favourite teen drama to life.

Yes, shooting has begun.


And so Season 3 of #Riverdale begins! Thrilled & honored to get to tell more stories w/this incredible cast & crew! pic.twitter.com/6B47Ohodau — RobertoAguirreSacasa (@WriterRAS) June 27, 2018

Late last month the cast gathered for what was the first read-through of the first draft of our third return to the town with PEP! With the show’s creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa sharing some details of the scripts and just who is involved in the first few eps.



Episode one (that’s Chapter Thirty-Six in the Riverdale lexicon) is titled Labor Day, and judging from the cartoon panel on the title page will deal with Archie Andrews on trial for Cassidy Bullock’s murder.

Sorry we didn’t throw in a ‘SPOILER ALERT’ there, but if you’re reading this then… you know… you should be up-to-date.

Following on swiftly from that he posted a picture of KJ Apa in ‘fighting shape’ before another of the cast fresh from the first table read enjoying dinner.

And as you’d expect the mainstay cast were all along for the ride with Cole Sprouse, KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camilla Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, Skeet Ulright, Natalie Boltt… you get the idea.

Following that there were a few breakout pics from the dinner, which was followed by silence.

It’s almost as if they’re trying to keep secrets from us.

Then earlier this week Roberto let us in on another tasty teaser for season three, episode two (Chapter Thirty-Seven) is called Fortune And Men’s Eyes, and it looks as though Archie’s trial doesn’t go according to plan as we’re treated to a cartoon of what looks to be Andrews Junior behind bars.

And here we go, Episode 302 of #Riverdale is about ready to get out of the gate! pic.twitter.com/fpLXluupa0 — RobertoAguirreSacasa (@WriterRAS) July 10, 2018

And then just 24 hours ago we got a Friday the 13th style post which saw Roberto post a picture of the Riverdale sign with some mysterious graffiti scrawled across it.

Wonder what that could mean? *Ideas in the comments section if you please*

But that’s not all.

Yep, the cast being our favourite people in the world have kept us up-to-date after they began arriving in Vancouver for filming – yes, that’s right… FILMING.

And if that wasn’t enough, the Instagram stories have been cute, lit, and a little bit WTF.

So yeah… prime viewing in terms of six packs and shenanigans.

We love these guys.

As it is, little is known about the story arc of season three and what will happen to the citizens of Riverdale.

One thing we do know is that Archie and Hiram’s feud is set to escalate thanks to Mr. Lodge framing his daughter’s boyfriend for murder.

That and the circle of evil he’s created with Mrs Blossom and others *coughs* Penny Peabody.



We also know that the Southside Serpents are on the brink of extinction, but can Jug pull them back from it with the help of newest member Cheryl and her wealthy backing?

Also, just what’s going on now that Veronica is mayor and Hiram is effectively in control of the town’s future?

Yeah, season three needs to hurry up already.

Riverdale seasons one and two are available to stream in their entirety on Netflix.
