Production

Development

Originally in development at Fox, it was announced in 2014 that Warner Bros TV would be producing the series through Berlanti Productions as Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti (creator of Supergirl and Arrow ), and Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater, the CEO of Archie Comics as executive producers. [36] In July 2015, it was announced that Riverdale had moved to The CW and that Aguirre-Sacasa would be writing the pilot episode. [37] On January 29, 2016, The CW officially ordered a pilot [38] and on May 16, 2016 it was picked up for series. [39] In November 2016, it was announced the first episode would air on January 26, 2017. [40]

Writing

Robert Aguirre-Sacasa stated that the show was not directly inspired by the comics reboot that occurred in 2015, as the show had already been pitched to Fox at that point. He also stated he was aware that the show needed to be more accessible for a modern audience, unlike the original comics. He stated that the show would follow a serialized, neo-noir format. [41] At San Diego Comic Con 2016, Aguirre-Sacasa explained that the first season would follow what happened to Jason Blossom, a teen who died the summer before school started and stated that the murder solving would not be dragged out. [42] Talking about the darker themes of the show, he states he was inspired by coming of ages films such as Stand By Me and River's Edge . He said that he thought, "What would a coming of age story be like, if David Lynch made it, or if Stephen King wrote it?" [43] In January 2017, it was revealed that the show would not be making Jughead asexual, which was revealed in February 2016, stating that the first season was aiming to be an origin story for the 75 years of history. [44] [45] Actor Cole Sprouse stated in an interview that he would like it to be explored in future seasons. [46]

Apa was one of the last to audition for Archie and got the role after months of searching for an actor. [14] Two days later, it was announced that newcomer Camila Mendes would star as Veronica Lodge. [16] In March 2016, it was announced that her mother, Hermione Lodge, would be played by Marisol Nichols [17] and Betty's mother, Alice Cooper, would be played by Mädchen Amick. [19]

Reception

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 88% based on 62 reviews, and an average rating of 7.22/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Riverdale offers an amusingly self-aware reimagining of its classic source material that proves eerie, odd, daring, and above all addictive." [59] On Metacritic the first season has a weighted average score of 68 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "generally favourable reviews". [60]

Speaking positive of the show, Ellen Gray of The Philadelphia Inquirer compared the show to Twin Peaks and Dawson's Creek , and praised the adaptation of the characters. [61] Jeff Jenson of Entertainment Weekly similarly praised the show, stating that Berlanti and Aguirre-Sacasa "built a sturdy, appealing foundation", as well as paying homage to pop culture and "[spitting] on them too." [62] Writing for The Washington Post , Hank Stuever commented on the show's departure from its source material, stating that it's watchable but "entertainment value comes at a steep price, cashing out Archie's underlying innocence to depict the corrupted community he calls home." Despite the difference from the source material, he praised the show and noted that it "can be terrific once you let go and let Archie grow up his own way" [63] Liz Shannon Miller of IndieWire criticized several stereotypes the show portrayed (such as Kevin being the 'gay best friend'), however commended the show for being "100 percent committed to creating its own little world" and praised the "strong visual choices". [64]

More critical of the series, Ira Madison of MTV News criticized the narration, referring to it as "overwritten and dire" and thought the relationships had "no lasting impact." As well, he disliked the lack of an "outsize metaphor that brings home a point in each episode." [65] Daniel D'Addario of Time also criticized the adaptation from the source material, the voice overs by Cole Sprouse and the many cultural references the show makes. [66] Allison Keene of Collider said the series "isn't as nearly as quirky as its early stylistic flourishes would like to suggest", referring to the series as campy and overwritten. She criticized the inclusion of the murder plot lines, stating the show "missed [an] opportunity to tell a strong, high school-set story". [67]
