Riverdale premieres Thursday, January 26 at 9/8c on The CW! 'Riverdale' is written by Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and produced by Warner Brothers Studios and Berlanti Productions and has been described as a subversive take on the classic Archie mythos. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa serve as executive producers.

He's also the guy who would play Conan O'brien in his biopic.

Here’s the teaser for CW’s Riverdale, the new show based upon the Archie Comics. At first I was doubtful. How could the source material possibly make sense on today’s television. But then I saw the blood on their hands, the ominous cheerleaders and solemn Jughead to the dark strings of a haunting female voice in a slow, creepy song. (Side note promo people, if you want to imbue intrigue into a spot, always use a haunting female voice over creepy metal strings!) Well, this spot takes a dark turn, I thought. And instead of railing against it, I find myself rooting for it. Mostly because, if successful, I could get in on this trend with comic-turn-noire pitches of my own.

ALL CHUCKED UP – Someone is after good ‘ol Charlie Brown. On every baseball field, in every dog house, around every school yard lurks danger. Could it be his best friend the blanket dependent Linus? Or his dog who who has delusions of WWII grandeur? Or maybe his needy, selfish sister Sally. As we meet the endless cast of characters we realize that it could anyone and everyone has a reason to take out that public blockhead. Framed around his weekly psychiatric visits, it slowly comes out that all these dangers could just be in Charlie's balding head. Or is Lucy trying to get Charlie off guard? Every week we dive into the neurosis of one of the characters on the discovery of whether Charles is paranoid or is someone really out to get him?
