Riverdale Showrunner on 5 Year Time Jump
When asked about the 5-year time jump, this is what the Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre had to say earlier this year: “On a practical level we really wanted to — I call them still the kids [Laughs] — but for the kids to be playing characters closer to their age,” He further went on to say, “And I think one of the hallmarks of Riverdale has been that it isn’t a procedural. Every episode is its own genre and it’s constantly reinventing itself and it felt like if we had stayed in high school, we might run the risk of playing the same beats and the same stories over and over again.” “So I think the idea was that it would sort of being a creative boost for the writers, a creative boost for the actors, and after four years of very gonzo, intricate, incestuous plotting, it was like, “Oh!” Well, we can just drop everyone into new storylines that feel organic to the characters, but allow us to feel like we can move a little more nimbly.” Must Check: SPACE JAM 3: The Looney Tunes basketball Combat Returns “Without the burden of, you know, Bughead dating or the burden of Archie still wrestling with the immediate death of his father. It felt like a way to freshen everything up and I feel like that was the big goal.” That’s all for now.
