When is the Riverdale season 6 premiere?
By Reed Gaudens
And just like that, another season of Riverdale is already in the books. Following the conclusion of the jaw-dropping season 5, The CW is gearing up for the Riverdale season 6, which promises even more wild times for Archie and the whole gang.
In Riverdale season 5, the series jumped ahead seven years after the gang graduated high school. Those lost years saw the core group of friends parting ways and unexpectedly reuniting at their old stomping grounds. Naturally, they have to save their hometown.
While they band together like old times to help defeat the evil plaguing their beloved small town, Betty also dives into solving another serial killer murder mystery involving her sister and the rest untangle the mistakes and memories from those many years apart.
Of course, the drama won’t stop in season 5 as season 6 will premiere not long after the shocking fifth season finale. When can Riverdale fans expect season 6 to premiere and come to Netflix? Here’s the Riverdale season 6 premiere date and more.
When does Riverdale season 6 premiere on The CW?
Following the Riverdale season 5 season finale on Wednesday, Oct. 6, the series will go on a shorter than usual hiatus before season 6 premieres on Tuesday, Nov. 16.
The sixth season kicks off with a special five-episode event, and there are already plenty of theories floating around about what could be in store for the exciting season opening-spectacular.
After the five-episode event, Riverdale will take another short hiatus before returning with new episodes in 2022. The CW hasn’t announced a return date for the remainder of season 6, but the network should clue fans in after the first five episodes.
Riverdale season 6 release date on Netflix
Currently, Netflix hasn’t announced a release date for season 6, but that’s to be expected. However, we can make an educated guess on when fans can dig into the new mysteries and mayhem that the sixth season will bring.
With any luck, Riverdale will get back to a normal schedule with season 6 and close out the season in spring 2022 rather than ending a season in October, when it would usually begin. We’re hoping to see season 6 on Netflix by May or June 2022, though that estimate could shift.
At any rate, we can expect season 6 to drop on Netflix eight days after its televised season finale on The CW. So, whenever that date should be, prepare your watch list for more Riverdale.
