After moving to the fading midwestern town of Kettle Springs, Missouri, a teenage girl and her new group of friends find themselves the targets of the city’s mascot, a clown who goes on a murderous rampage.
Set in the present, the series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica and their friends, exploring the surreality of small-town life, the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade.
