Production on the remaining 12 episodes of season one began on September 7 in Vancouver.[38] Sets include Pop Tate's Chock'lit Shoppe, a copy of the functioning diner used in the pilot that is so realistic that a truck driver parked his 18-wheeler, believing that it was open.[39]

On March 7, 2017, The CW announced that the series had been renewed for a second season.[40]

Comic book adaptation

Along with heavily promoting the TV series in their regular comics since January 2017, Archie Comics are planning to release a comic book adaptation of Riverdale, featuring auxiliary story arcs set within the television series' own continuity. The comic book adaptation is being headed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa himself, along with various other writers from the show. Alongside a one-shot pilot issue, illustrated by Alitha Martinez, released in March 2017,[49] the first issue of the on-going Riverdale the comic book series is set to release starting April 2017.[50]

In addition to the adaptation, Archie Comics are releasing a series of compilation graphic novels branded under the title Road to Riverdale.
