When is Riverdale season 7 coming to Netflix? (release date and time)

The final season of Riverdale has finally arrived, and it’s a time the fans of The CW’s hit series have been dreading. We don’t want to say goodbye to Archie and the gang, but the end is near. Riverdale season 7 will bring the larger-than-life Archie Comics retelling to an official close.

When we last left Riverdale in the season 6 finale, Cheryl’s powerful attempts to save the town from being decimated by Bailey’s Comet sent all of her friends through the multiverse and back into the 1950s. Once again, they’re teenagers, but they have no memory of their future lives.

Well, everyone except Jughead, who’s desperate to help his friends remember who they are and get them back to their timeline. It’s an ambitious and exciting conceit for Riverdale season 7. The series has always taken big swings, and this might be its biggest ever.

But when can fans start binge-watching the final season on Netflix? While season 7 began airing on The CW on Wednesday, March 29, the episodes won’t arrive on Netflix until later this summer. Since The CW announced the series finale date, we have an official Netflix release date.
