Riverdale Series Finale Ending Explained: What Happened To Archie & His Friends

After six years, seven seasons, and all the epic highs and lows of high school football, the Riverdale series finale finally reveals what happens to Archie and his friends from the titular “town with pep.” Packed with meta references to its Archie Comics roots, Riverdale has no problem exploring the at-times ridiculousness of its source material. That’s exactly what makes the show fun, and it’s also what’s helped the Archie Comics publisher endure for nearly 85 years. In an inspired twist that feels in line with the rest of the 1955-set season 7, the Riverdale series finale considers how to say farewell to stories that never really end.
