Why The Riverdale Series Finale Ends With A Four Way Romance For Main "Ships" Explained By Producer

Riverdale executive producer Sarah Schechter explains why the series finale ends with the four main characters all ending up together rather than just highlighting one relationship. Part of what fueled the long-running CW show, in addition to its outlandish twists and ability to fold in different genres, was the dynamic between Archie (KJ Apa), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Betty (Lili Reinhart), and Jughead (Cole Sprouse). For its series finale, which includes the last return to high school, the teen drama refuses to favor one relationship. Instead, a montage shows that the core four ended up together — at least for a time.
