"Word is, likely based on the success of Riverdale on Netflix, the streaming platform gave producing studio Warner Bros. TV a two-season pickup offer it could not refuse. The CW, which also has another female witch drama in the works, a Charmed reboot with Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman, had only committed to development. Additionally, by going with Netflix, WBTV is retaining full ownership of the Sabrina series. (Riverdale is a co-production with CBS TV Studios per the CW business model.)

Still, the relocation of the potential companion series will not allow the CW to build an Archie universe the way it has with the DC series where characters frequently cross over. (The network has another offshoot in the works, the Supernatural spinoff Wayward Sisters, which will be introduced as a planted spinoff episode of the mothership series later this season.)"

Seems like RAS will have control and more freedom to do what he wants with the streaming service over CW.

That's a relief! At least if doesn't go well for Netflix standards Ricardo Aguirre-Sacasa still owns rights over it and can move elsewhere (which isn't possible for other Netflix show where the network has full ownership, ie sense8. They forbid a comic series continuation).

Maybe if the series is released all at once to avoid conflicting edits we may look at how other Netflix shows wikis solved it. Maybe forum for spoilery comments and a schedule for updating pages. Like I remember this show airing in US 3 days after UK broadcast and the wiki waited until the episode aired on US to update plots on characters pages.
