Riverdale fans will have to be patient. While the continuation of season 5 was initially scheduled to air starting Wednesday, July 7, 2021, The CW revealed that the series would only make its return one month later, on Wednesday, August 11, 2021.
A four-month break, which we hope will not affect the ratings of the series. This postponement could also have impacts on the date of airing of the season 6, already ordered by the American channel.
