Is Riverdale season 5 on Netflix?

Are you ready to pick Riverdale back up after taking a break from the bonkers CW drama? Did you hear Riverdale season 5 involves a time jump that drops viewers seven years into these characters’ lives since high school?

If you are, then you’ve come to the right place to find where the series is currently streaming.

Riverdale has streamed on the platform since the close of its first season, but if you’re looking to watch season 5 on Netflix, you’ll be waiting for a while if you’re a U.S. resident.

The first four seasons of Riverdale are now streaming on Netflix.

Where to stream Riverdale season 5

Riverdale season 5 currently airs on The CW on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT.

International fans can stream the latest episodes on Netflix on Thursdays but U.S. viewers will have to wait until 8 days after the season ends to stream it on the platform.

However, next day streaming of Riverdale season 5 episodes is available to U.S. residents on The CW website and their app.

But, if you’re looking to wait until the latest season hits Netflix so you can binge all in one go, do know that COVID has effected The CW’s release schedule dramatically.

Riverdale is set to go on a three-month hiatus at the end of March and the show won’t be returning until July 7. The series typically runs 20-22 episodes a season which puts the show landing on Netflix as far back as the fall.

That’s a long time to be waiting to see Barchie in action if that’s your thing. Are they endgame? Or to see what twists and turns the series has for these iconic characters now that they’re adults. Spoiler alert: so far it’s aliens, serial killers, and Hiram, oh my!

But if you want to binge Riverdale season 5, then add the series to your fall TV programming and enjoy it toward the end of the year as Riverdale continues to be the not so innocent town full of pep.
