The characters in the show will not be teenagers for much longer, however, as their leap into adulthood approaches. Fans can now finally see the cast for the first time after the time jump, courtesy of a new series of images revealed by Weekly entertainment.

Although they are canonically older, the main characters don’t look very different years later. With college ending soon for teenagers, fans have been theorizing about what strength or strengths could bring them back to their hometown so many years later. With the cast all following different careers and leaving for new homes, it must be interesting to see them reunited after so long.
Of course, the central nature of the show is unlikely to change much after the time jump. Riverdale’s teenagers have not been much concerned with normal teen problems for some time, concentrating on solving and committing various crimes. At the very least, the leap should shake up some of the relationship dynamics that have been established for so long. Fans expect even more drama, Riverdale the 5th season continues on CW and Netflix.
