In the first-ever episode of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s culture-shifting show, Betty tells Archie she has a fantasy of them as a “power couple.” Not only have her wishes come true, but it seems like the young pair is unfazed by this new phase in their lives together.
As for Jughead (Cole Sprouse), his hearing is now severely damaged and t he rumor mill is indicating that this may be Jughead’s own Daredevil-esque origin story. In the midseason premiere, Betty appears to be able to sense the auras of people and Archie can stick a knife through his skin and barely get a scrape. Yup, Riverdale is taking a page from The CW’s tried-and-true formula for success, The Arrowverse, and giving its brainy blonde bombshell and redheaded Renaissance man superpowers following an explosion at Archie’s house in Season 6, before the show went on a four-month hiatus. It only makes sense, then, that the next nutty plotline turns Archie and Betty into superheroes.

Throughout the series, Archie (KJ Apa) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) have had to handle not only “the epic highs and lows of high school football,” but also serial killer dads, cults, faked deaths, gangs, alternate universes, aliens, teen pregnancies, supernatural forces, tickle fetishes, and a fictitious addictive drug called “Jingle Jangle,” among other interesting choices cooked up by the show’s writers’ room. Betty Cooper and her Archiekins, are, after nearly six years on-air, an official item on The CW’s wacky and genre-bending young adult drama Riverdale.
