Overview

• Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is writing and executive producing via Muckle Man Productions, joined by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Jimmy Gibbons and Jon Goldwater as executive producers.
• The hourlong series is based on the 2013 comic by Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla and reimagines Riverdale as a town overrun by the undead.
• Disney+ has issued a script-to-series commitment, a step that bypasses a traditional pilot but does not guarantee a full series order.
• Warner Bros. Television is the studio on the project, marking another cross-studio deal placing WBTV-produced content on Disney’s streaming platform.
• Casting has not been announced, and reports indicate the CW Riverdale cast is not expected to return; no premiere date or final tone and rating have been set.
