• Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is writing and executive producing via Muckle Man Productions alongside executive producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Jimmy Gibbons, and Archie Comics’ Jon Goldwater.
• Warner Bros. Television will serve as the studio, reflecting a cross-studio arrangement even as the series is being developed for Disney’s platform.
• Per the official logline, the one-hour drama reimagines Riverdale as a zombie-ravaged, apocalyptic setting.
• No casting has been announced, and industry reports say the CW Riverdale cast is not expected to reprise their roles; no premiere date or release placement details have been disclosed.
