Riverdale Season 5 Trailer: Time for Prom and Horror
By Kolawole Steven
The Riverdale trailer for it's fifth season is finally here and we gotta say we've missed our high school detectives after not seeing them for over six months. Here is the synopsis for the fifth season:
"The fourth season of RIVERDALE began with a funeral and tribute to Archie’s late father, the beloved Fred Andrews (Luke Perry). Throughout the season, Archie (KJ Apa) tried to live up to his father’s memory by mentoring youths at his Community Center with the help of his pals Reggie (Charles Melton) and Munroe Moore. But the shadow of that tragedy loomed over Archie—and only darkened when Fred’s brother Frank arrived, bringing unforeseen complications with him, much to the chagrin of Archie’s mother (Molly Ringwald). Meanwhile, after Betty (Lili Reinhart) saved her mom (Mädchen Amick) and sister from the Farm cult, she joined her brother Charles’s Junior F.B.I. Training Program. Veronica (Camila Mendes) found herself locked in a season-long battle with her father Hiram (Mark Consuelos) and half-sister Hermosa over her burgeoning maple rum business. And, at the urging on FP (Skeet Ulrich), Jughead (Cole Sprouse) enrolled in a new school, Stonewall Prep, only to be caught up in a mystery that involved his grandfather, the secret author of a series of teen detective novels called “The Baxter Brothers.”
His classmates turned out to be killers—and it was up to Betty and Jughead (pretending to be dead) to solve the murder of…Jughead Jones! At Thistlehouse, Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) was trapped in a gothic nightmare, fighting her demons, literal and metaphoric, with the loving support of her girlfriend Toni (Vanessa Morgan). She finally put her brother Jason to rest while maintaining her control over the Vixens as resident HBIC against Principal Honey (Kerr Smith). Kevin (Casey Cott) got dragged into an illicit tickle scheme, but still found time to put on a Variety Show with hit songs from “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” And throughout the season, disturbing unmarked videotapes kept appearing on our characters’ doorsteps, ensuring that there would be one more mystery to solve.
Season five of RIVERDALE will begin with our characters’ final days as students at Riverdale High. From an epic Senior Prom to a bittersweet Graduation, there are a lot of emotional moments and goodbyes yet to come—with some couples breaking up, as everyone goes their separate ways to college—or elsewhere. Then, we will redock with our gang as young adults, all returning to Riverdale to escape their troubled pasts. And life—and romance—will only be more complicated now that they’re in their twenties…"
The Trailer starts of with Betty and Jughead visiting Bret in prison and him telling them that "something is coming and it's going to hit you like a mac truck". It follows with what we left up the previous season with the tapes and the strange people dressing up like the Archie gang and coping exactly what happened with previous events. We are then shown the high school prom and Veronica discovering what has transpired between Archie and Betty in the previous season, which I would say breaks my heart but I'm also glad that she has found out. Although we don't know about Jughead. It should also be noted that there would be a time jump of seven years after graduation. We would be seeing Gang be in their early twenties which would tie with the previously cancelled Katy Keene. This would also make it easier for the actors to play their characters now that they are the same age bracket with their character.
All of the cast would be returning this season. Skeet Ulrich has been in specific episodes and would be departing as series regular this season. This means that Our Alice and F.P storyline would be rounding up this season which is really sad. This would be the first season since season one that would premier in January.
Riverdale season 5 would premier only on the CW on January 20th
