If it feels like Riverdale season 6 has been airing forever on The CW, that’s because it has been. Since the start of the COVID pandemic, the network’s schedule has been all over the place. We’re glad they’ve been taking precautions to keep their casts and crews safe as they should. Doing so has made for an incredibly stretched line-up which, of course, has caused delays in CW shows hitting streamers.

Shorter seasons did help with this for some of the network’s series, but their more popular shows like The Flash and Superman and Lois didn’t stay to the 13-episode maximum that other series had to adhere to. Riverdale, clearly, is among the ranks of those that got to bypass that maximum. Though, personally, I can’t say that’s helped its story any.

We’ve been making our way through season 6 since fall 2021 when the “Rivervale” five-episode event introduced us to an alternate universe full of mysteries and an increasingly staggering body count. Viewers have since been dropped back in the town with Pop’s that we know and begrudgingly love and things have only gotten even more weird.

While I won’t spoil the main story being worked through in Riverdale season 6, I can say that Cheryl’s errant spell at the end of season 5 truly did a number on this season’s plot. We’re almost at its end with two more episodes to go. So, when can we expect to see the show’s penultimate season on Netflix? Here’s what we know!

Riverdale season 6 Netflix release date

Season 6 will make its Netflix US debut on Sunday, August 7. If you’ve been holding out to watch the next installment of the series, you’ll have 22 episodes to either binge or savor to your heart’s content. I’ll warn you though, this season jumps many sharks and takes a lot of ambitious leaps. You’re in for a ride!

What guest cast appearances can we expect? Has the show been renewed for season 7? Well, look no further because we have all the deets on the latest season of Riverdale.

What is season 6 of Riverdale about?

In the premiere episode of season 6, we're taken to "Rivervale." It's a parallel universe to "the town with pep," a world where magic, monsters, and superstitions reign supreme. We saw some seriously chilling storylines, ones that included sacrifices (yep), "sin pie," and the devil.

Episode six, the first episode to premiere in the second installment of season 6, picked up following the events of the season 5 finale — meaning we're back in Riverdale and Hiram Lodge has just set off a bomb in Archie's house, with Archie and Betty inside. But the two miraculously survive the explosion, and the show's carried on with its otherworldly storylines, as Archie and Betty discover that they have actual superpowers. Meanwhile, Cheryl is possessed by the spirit of her ancestor Abigail, and Percival Pickens, a descendent of one of the town's founders, has arrived to undoubtedly stir up some trouble.

On April 9, TVLine confirmed that this season of Riverdale will also include another musical episode. This time around, the series will recreate "American Psycho," a musical based on the novel of the same name and the 2000 film about Patrick Bateman, a finance exec in the 1980s who harbors a secret serial killer alter ego.

Who returns for Riverdale season 6?

The main cast is back, with Lili Reinhart, KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, Camila Mendes, Madeline Petsch, Charles Melton, Vanessa Morgan, Casey Cott, Drew Ray Tanner, Erinn Westbrook, and Mädchen Amick all reprising their roles in season 6. Mark Consuelos, who played the evil Hiram Lodge for four seasons, will no longer appear as a series regular.

But that's not all. Earlier this season, we saw the arrival of one Miss Sabrina Spellman, who was portrayed by Kiernan Shipka for four seasons on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Sabrina originally came from Greendale to help out her friend Cheryl Blossom. Now, she's set to make her return on the July 10 episode, titled "The Witches of Riverdale." And in a new promo released on June 27, we catch a quick glimpse into what her character is up to this time around.

"Where are the bodies?," Sabrina first asks. "They're both super cute."

"We'll need a coven to perform the resurrection," she adds, to which Betty (Lili Reinhart) replies, "We're not witches, sorry."

"Not yet," Sabrina clarifies.

During a short sequence of candle-lit rituals, Veronica (Camila Mendes) questions, "Is this gonna hurt?" Finally, Sabrina asks, "Do you have your own broom or do you want to ride with me?" Check out the full teaser below.

"As we prepare for the 2022-23 season, these scripted series, along with the alternative series we renewed earlier, will serve as the start of a solid foundation utilizing some of our most-watched series for us to build on for next year and beyond," Mark Pedowitz, chairman and CEO the CW Network, said in a statement regarding the network's renewed series. "These dramas are also important to our overall digital strategy, as they are some of our most-streamed and socially engaged programming, and we look forward to adding more new and returning series to help strengthen and expand our multiplatform footprint."

Confirmation of Riverdale's final season arrived in May, but fans were already bracing for the news as Lili Reinhart teased the show's possible ending during an Instagram Live in November 2021.
