Riverdale<\/a> has had quite the run since it debuted back in 2017. From faked deaths to cults and spells in prison, right the way through to superpowers and alternate universes, these characters have seen it all.<\/p>\n

Season 6 saw some particularly monumental events occur in the lives of Archie, Veronica and the gang, with creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa saying in an interview with TV Line<\/a>: \u201cWe kind of thought: What if Stephen King and M Night Shyamalan were in the writers\u2019 room this season?\u201d<\/p>\n

The season 6 finale certainly brought all the shocks and thrills we\u2019ve come to expect, but is the show coming back for more?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about Riverdale season 7.<\/p>\n

Has Riverdale been renewed for season 7?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It has, but unfortunately the news is bittersweet. While the show was renewed for a seventh season back in March, in May it was confirmed that this would in fact be the show\u2019s last<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When he announced the show was ending, Mark Pedowitz, network president at The CW, said: \u201cI am a big believer in attempting to give series that have had long runs an appropriate sendoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a long conversation with Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] yesterday, who is thrilled by this news, and we will treat the show in the manner it deserves\u2026. We want to make sure it goes out the right way. I think they, too, felt that seven years is the right amount. As a fan myself, I do want to do what is right for the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

So while fans are likely excited that they get to go on one last ride with these characters, it\u2019s still going to be emotional knowing how soon things are coming to an end.<\/p>\n

When will Riverdale season 7 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t yet have a full confirmed cast list for season 7 just yet, but we\u2019d expect all of the central characters from season 6 to return for more in season 7. Therefore, we\u2019d expect all of the following to be back:<\/strong><\/p>\n
