What will happen in Riverdale season 5?
As we already know, the first three episodes of season 5 will be what we should have seen at the end of season 4. We’ll see the gang go to prom, graduate and go their separate ways. We’ll also see Skeet Ulrich’s final episode as FP Jones in 5x03, and dive into Toni’s backstory (at long last!) There will also hopefully be a resolution to the creepy videotape mystery too. Fingers crossed we'll find out what's happening between Charles and Chic.
In episode 4, the show will then flash forward seven years. All our fave teens will return as 25 year olds and it appears as though some of them will be working as tutors at Riverdale High.
Archie Andrews (who also joined the Army), Betty Cooper (who is also working as an FBI trainee) and Jughead Jones will all return to Riverdale to teach, per this teaser posted by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. It also looks like Kevin Keller is a teacher too.
Veronica Lodge will be married to Chad Gekko, who’ll be played by The Perfectionists actor Chris Mason. Chad is "an Alpha dog, [who] is threatened by Veronica’s life in Riverdale, especially her friendship with Archie."
Not much has been revealed about 25-year-old Cheryl Blossom just yet, although it appears that she is a cheerleading coach thanks to a teaser clip. Is she coaching for a rival school based on that red outfit? Or is that just classic Cheryl?
Toni Topaz will finally claim her crown as the Serpent Queen. In the flash forward, it’s been revealed that she’s living with Fangs Fogarty and Kevin, instead of Cheryl. Vanessa Morgan’s real life pregnancy will be written into the show, which means we’ll be seeing pregnant Toni. Toni is also now the cheerleading coach at Riverdale High.
Pop Tate’s granddaughter Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook) will be rolling into town too. She takes over Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe in the hopes of franchising the iconic small town diner.
