The seventh season of Riverdale has now become available on Netflix, and it has already captivated many fans worldwide. It’s no surprise that the show has become so popular, and many are already anticipating the release of the next season.
For the seventh season, the group are sent back to the 1950s, with only Jughead having the knowledge that they are not actually supposed to be there. After the dramatic end of the sixth season, the concern is if they will be able to return to the present and how they will accomplish it.
If the final episode of Riverdale season 7 leaves you curious as to whether or not there will be further stories, or if you’re simply wishing for more from the series, here’s the scoop on what the future holds for the show.
Is it possible that the show Riverdale will have an eighth season?
In 2022, The CW revealed that Riverdale would be concluding with season 7, thus there will be no continuation of the story in a Season 8.
Since the writing staff was aware that the seventh season was the last, they were able to create a gratifying ending season and a heartbreaking series finale that appropriately concluded the stories of every character. Although a Riverdale season 8 is currently unfeasible, there is still a possibility that far down the line, a reboot or a continuation could be possible. It’s impossible to foretell!
Why there won’t be a Riverdale season 8?
A multitude of elements led to the conclusion to not keep Riverdale on the air for an eighth season – yet the most evident explanation is the sharp decrease in ratings in the last few seasons. In the United States, there was a significant 45% decrease in viewership between seasons five and six, following a steady drop from the show’s peak of recognition in the second season. Rather than ending the show right away after the sharp dip, the CW chose to provide Riverdale with a seventh run for the purpose of tying up as many loose ends as possible and achieving a natural ending.
