He continued on teasing the upcoming Season 7, which is expected to arrive on The CW this fall: While the first season of the show could be seen as a YA attempt at a prestige drama, Riverdale has long since leaned into its campier aspects playing up the ridiculous dialogue, the theatrical musical numbers, and the jaw-dropping plot twists. The series has even outlasted other Archie Comics spinoffs Katy Keene and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, both also helmed by Aguirre-Sacasa. Luckily for Aguirre-Sacasa, Riverdale has maintained a steady viewership throughout its run as the antics of Archie and the gang have become more and more outlandish.

In fact, the showrunner even went on to say that he would be lying if he said he "ever imagined that Riverdale would be getting to Season 7." This is honestly a fair assumption these days we have more television series to watch than we have time for and if your show doesn't bring in big numbers for a network it's likely headed for the chopping block.
