Riverdale Season 6 Finale Synopsis: Major Stakes Ahead Of Final Episodes

The synopsis for the Riverdale season 6 finale teases that the stakes have never been higher for the titular small town. The long-running teen series, which originally premiered on The CW in 2017, is a gritty reimagining of the popular characters from Archie Comics. The show's main cast includes KJ Apa as Archie Andrews, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones, Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, and Casey Cott as Kevin Keller.

A lot has changed on Riverdale during the six seasons it has been on the air, including a huge time jump, the appearance of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's Kiernan Shipka reprising her title role from the spinoff series, and the new wrinkle that several of the main characters have begun to develop superpowers. It's likely difficult to sustain these over-the-top developments, but the writers of the series have consistently managed to one-up themselves. With Riverdale officially ending with the upcoming season 7, they now have even more license to completely throw caution to the wind and dive into every zany idea they have, pulling every plot thread to its farthest extent.

In keeping with this newfound narrative freedom, the show is already promising huge developments. Per ComicBook, the official synopsis for the Riverdale season 6 finale has been revealed. The episode, which is titled "Night of the Comet" and set to air on July 31, was co-written by the show's creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. According to the synopsis, Archie and his friends will soon be forced to face off against the "greatest threat" that Riverdale has ever seen. Check out the full synopsis below:

Archie and the gang band together to save Riverdale from the greatest threat the town has ever faced. KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Mädchen Amick, Casey Cott, Vanessa Morgan, Charles Melton, Erinn Westbrook and Drew Ray Tanner star. Gabriel Correa directed the episode written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa & Aaron Allen.

Anyone who has watched Riverdale knows that the seemingly idyllic town has been under major threat before. As the show's twists and turns deepened over the past five seasons, the characters have had to face off against everything from a widespread drug problem to serial killers and a killer cult. These heightened stakes will likely be coming from the supernatural threat posed by new villain Percival Pickens, and given the episode title's reference to the post-apocalyptic 1984 film Night of the Comet, things could start to look very bad for the town.

So far, there aren't any further details about the plot of the episode. This is likely due to the fact that the two episodes that precede the finale - "Return to Rivervale" and "The Stand" - have not aired yet, so the show's creators want to avoid spoilers until the penultimate episode has actually been seen. However, in the week leading up to the Riverdale season 6 finale, fans will be sure to get a much closer look at what exactly might be doing down in this climactic episode.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
