They did, yeah. At the time they made it seem like it would be within a few months after the previous season had ended.
I remember them saying it would drop like a month before the new season but I could be misremembering.
As cringe as Riverdale could be at times especially towards the end, her acting was always good so I’ll welcome it.
Reminder that Showtimes series drop on Paramount+ way earlier than they air on premium cable Showtime. First two episodes up right now.
