Riverdale (book series)

Riverdale is a book series tie-in to the Riverdale television series, set to launch on August 2018. It will debut with an in-world guide and a novel written by author Micol Ostow that will act as a prequel to the events of the first episode.

Scholastic has acquired world and all language rights to publish original fiction and companion books based on the CW series Riverdale. The publishing program will begin August 28, 2018, with the release of the Riverdale Student Handbook.

Archie Comics CEO and Riverdale executive producer Jon Goldwater had this to say - “Partnering with Scholastic has always been a dream for Archie Like us, they’re leaders and innovators in all they do, and we feel there’s a strong synergy between our brands. When this opportunity first arose, we knew Scholastic would be the perfect home for expanding the stories and world of Riverdale through prose novels and other exciting formats. It’s a major partnership and the beginning of a great relationship between two iconic companies.”

Added Debra Dorfman, Vice President and Publisher of Global Licensing, Media and Brands at Scholastic: “I grew up reading Archie Comics and always wanted to be Veronica. When I heard that Riverdale was going to be a new teen drama I immediately knew that Scholastic and Archie would make great partners. Both companies have been able to withstand the test of time, creating life-long readers and fans.”
