Riverdale season 5’s finale may see lead characters Archie and Betty rekindle their onscreen romance.

The newest season saw a seven-year time jump, after which the pair, performed by KJ Apa and Lili Reinhart, returned from being lovers to buddies.

Nevertheless, government producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has stated that there could also be extra mileage within the couple’s romance but.

“In our minds, Betty and Archie’s story didn’t end in episode eight, when they decided they just were going to be friends,” he advised TVLine. “That story isn’t over, and we do pick back with it before the end of the season.”

The fifth season of Riverdale will conclude on Netflix October 6.

Talking concerning the new season’s time leap, Reinhart stated on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show: “I’m really psyched about it, I think it’ll be nice to play an adult… but I also really appreciate that Roberto, our showrunner, was like: ‘Yeah let’s revamp, so we’re not just stuck in high school for seven seasons’.”

Elsewhere, Apa has likened his commitment to starring in Riverdale to being in “jail.”

“I felt so free coming from a show where I feel like I’m in jail a lot of the time,” Apa advised Demi Moore for Interview magazine, referring to Songbird, final 12 months’s pandemic-themed movie which each actors starred in. “There are so many restrictions on what I can and can’t do.”

Apa continued: “There’s been a lot stress in enjoying Archie. I’m so grateful for the present and its success, however on the similar time, there’s plenty of baggage that comes with that success.

“I really feel like the one individuals I can speak to about my points are my co-stars, the individuals who can actually relate to me. Cole [Sprouse, who plays Jughead Jones] is a tremendous particular person to have on set, as a result of he’s been doing this his complete life.

“I try and look at it from a fan’s perspective to understand the way they think. But there are times when I’m like, ‘Wow, they really have no idea that we are actual people. They can’t separate us from our characters.’ You don’t have that in other professions.”
