"Riverdale" has been running successfully on Netflix for some time.
The CEO of broadcaster The CW has now leaked that a new spin-off is likely.
A spin-off from
"Riverdale"
?
Many fans may now remember “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” * or
“Katy Keene”
.
The series came from "Riverdale" creator
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
and were canceled after a few seasons.
“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”
was not considered a spin-off from
“Riverdale”
, but it was based on a comic book series from Archie Comics.
Offshoot
"Katy Keene",
however, should continue the success story of the production around
Archie
,
Jughead
,
Betty
& Co.
It didn't work out because after only one season, The CW put an end to the series.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
does not want to give up yet.
Compared to the entertainment magazine
Deadline
, the CEO of the station The CW is said to have revealed that a new spin-off is at least under discussion.
New spin-off from "Riverdale" possible - what is already known about it
Will the spin-off be about a character known from
“Riverdale”
?
Or do the fans get to see a completely new protagonist, such as in
"Katy Keene"
?
Unfortunately, The CW's plans don't seem mature enough to answer these questions.
On the contrary:
According to the
Deadline
,
CEO
Mark Pedowitz only
mentioned
that discussions about an offshoot had at least taken place.
“Riverdale” creator
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
has not yet submitted a draft for a spin-off.
Pedowitz has a clear conscience that there will soon be concrete ideas.
He indirectly refers to
"Riverdale"
and the question of how long the series will continue.
In the current 5th season, the characters are graduating from high school and then there is a time jump of seven years.
These developments could make it difficult for Aguirre-Sacasa to stretch the story over several seasons.
"I know Aguirre-Sacasa is thinking long term about how to keep this 'Riverdale' situation alive," Pedowitz told
Deadline
.
Another spin-off
is one possibility of continuation
.
