‘Riverdale’ Teaser Trailer: Archie And Friends Go Sexy Murder Mystery
Here’s a Riverdale teaser trailer for you all. I, uh, I don’t know? I don’t read Archie or watch CW. This, this is pretty far outside my wheelhouse. But um, should you be fans of either, I hope you enjoy this.
Take Archie, mash it up with Gossip Girl, and add a sprinkling of Twin Peaks, and you’ll probably end up with something like Riverdale, The CW’s new sexed-up murder mystery drama about suspiciously hot teenagers in a seemingly sleepy, actually quite creepy little town. As the show’s midseason premiere date approaches, The CW has unveiled a new Riverdale teaser trailer that sets up some of the major drama to come. See the new Riverdale teaser trailer below.
I caught the Riverdale pilot at Comic-Con, and while it suffers from some of the usual first-episode issues — endless expository dialogue, way too much plot, thinly drawn characters — I thought it showed a lot of promise. It’s cheesy as hell, but in exactly the way you want a CW teen soap to be cheesy. Archie himself (K.J. Apa) is kind of a dud in the debut episode, but that’s often the case for shows like this, and he’s surrounded by a fun supporting cast. Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes, who play Betty and Veronica, have particularly good chemistry. If all of this sounds like your jam, Riverdale premieres January 26, 2017 on The CW.
