TVLine's Exclusive:

RIVERDALE

Don't expect Archie's murder trial to turn Season 3 of The CW's teen soap into a full-blown courtroom drama: "We see the results of that trial really quickly," showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa reveals. "We'll find out his fate in Episode 1." And while the decision "might pose a threat" to Archie and Veronica's relationship, the pair 'is proving more resilient than [we] originally thought... Their attraction is pretty epic." That speedy verdict also allows more time to explore the WTF strangeness of Alice and Polly's new cult-like home The Farm, which will be one of "a couple of different mysteries that sort of crisscross as the season goes," Aguirre-Sacasa teases. "Cults felt very zeitgeist-y, and very relevant to Riverdale." Meanwhile, Jughead becoming the boss of the Southside Serpents triggers an unexpected side effect: the return of his mom Gladys and sister Jellybean. Gladys' arrival will also act as "a fly in the ointment" for the long-awaited pairing of F.P. and Alice, the EP adds.

BONUS SPOILER!: Yes, this season's musical episode will be based around another production staged at Riverdale High... but the exact show hasn't been selected yet. "We have a lot of shows we've been talking about," Aguirre-Sacasa hints. "There are a couple musicals we’ve been circling."

RETURN DATE: Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 8/7c (The CW)
