What Season 7 of Riverdale

The seventh season picks up right where the sixth ends. Jughead finds himself trapped in 1955 with no idea how he got there or how to return to the present. His friends live as if they never left the 1950s, resembling their classic Archie Comics versions, and they remember no other life. Jughead tries to convince them that they come from the future. Archie pursues Veronica, Betty deals with Kevin and Toni, and Tabitha and Betty clash with Principal Featherhead, who keeps a close eye on the students. The season asks whether the gang will manage to return or will end up accepting the past as their reality.
