One of the creators of the series "Riverdale" Roberto Agirre-Sakas published in his Instagram Poster of the fifth season with a signature:
Finally, offices are open. We started preparing for the shooting of the fifth season "Riverdala".
On the poster on the background of the sign with the name of the city of Blonde-haired, a frightened girl runs away on the road from the trucks beside her.
The production of the series was stopped in March, after one of the members of the film crew entered into contact with someone infected with coronavirus. The shooting was never resumed. Therefore, the fourth season was shown in a trimmed form. It was originally planned that the season would end with the graduation ball and the end of the heroes of the Riverdala school. Now these unsigned series will become the first series of the fifth season. Then there will be a jump in time for several years. And the season will continue to tell the story with which he had to start if a pandemic had not happened.
Previously, CW channel reported that the production of the new season will begin not earlier than January 2021. This meant that the show of the season should be expected not before the second half of next year. Information that the film crew is ready for shooting may mean that the new series showing the new series can move to an earlier date.
