On the eve of the screens, the final episode of the fourth season "Riverdala" was released, but, as it turned out, the audience saw at all what originally planned to show the creators of the series. In March, the production of Hit The CW had to be stopped because of the coronavirus pandemic, and this impart a fingerprint to the plot of the show.
It was assumed that the fourth season would consist of 22 episodes, but as a result, the Showranners had to be stopped only at nineteen, and Roberto Agirre-Sakasa in an interview with Entertainment Tonight told what it turned out for his favorite characters.
The producer admitted that they managed to remove only half of the twentieth episode to Quarantine, and therefore, he began to think about whether he would be able to move his events in the fifth season.
We shot graduation, during which there are a lot of dramatic events, but there are also emotional scenes with Archie, Veronica, Jagheted and Betty, and we simply could not give up this,
- Shared Roberto.
Also Agirare-Sakasa noted that since in the nineteenth episode "all children are combined into one big story," then the end of the season was even more appropriate. In addition, it has a certain important turn to the plot, which is designed to shock the audience and warm up interest in continuing the show.
It seems to me that we can definitely consider the nineteenth episode final, and then the graduation ball will be our premiere next year,
- said Showranner. So it remains to hope that in the near future the situation with Coronavirus will be resolved and work on "Riverdil" will be able to resume.
