What is the plot?

Season six kicked off in the wake of Cheryl's revenge curse on Riverdale after finding out that the ancestors of Jughead, Archie, and Betty burned her cousin Abigail at the stake for being a witch.

Viewers saw an appearance from Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina Spellman in a cross-over between Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Now, the characters have entered a new universe called Rivervale after a bomb in Archie's house exploded, destroying Riverdale.

The first part of season six saw Jughead at the helm of it all as he was forced to keep writing new storylines to stop Rivervale from reaching the same fate as the original town.
