Riverdale Confirms Season 4 Is Ending Early Amid Coronavirus Shutdowns
Riverdale is gearing up for the end… of the season, that is.
No worries, KJ Apa confirmed that he signed a multi-year deal with the series, so there will be at least three more seasons. However, season 4 is ending early due to production being shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.
Episodes of the series have been on-and-off for a few months.
The show returned on April 15 from a brief hiatus to deliver the highly-anticipated musical episode before taking a week off again.
Now, TV Guide reports that the last episode will air on Wednesday, May 6. The episode is titled “Killing Mr. Honey.”
The episode will reportedly follow a revenge fantasy storyline as part of Jughead’s story submission to the University of Iowa. Based on the title. it’s clear he and his friends want revenge on the uptight principal for ruining senior year. It was directed by Madchen Amick (Alice Cooper).
One more episode will air before the finale titled “Lynchian,” which will investigate the gruesome and terrifying stalker in town haunting residents with stalkerish VHS tapes.
With the penultimate episode and the premature finale, the seasons episode count is at 19 episodes, a few down from the intended 22-episode order.
This means that we likely won’t see the core four — Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica — graduate from Riverdale High.
But all is not lost as the series will just come back stronger for season 5.
Many shows, including several CW shows like Legacies, had preempted seasons due to the outbreak.
Do you think we’ll get any conclusion to F.P. Jones leaving Riverdale in the finale? Or how about the #Barchie love story?

It also provides some clarity surrounding the flashbacks about Berlin and his son in the first half of season 5 of Money Heist, which puzzled fans as they couldn’t figure out how they fit into the overall story.

“I am deeply grateful to be able to connect with people all over the world and receive so much love and such a memorable time. We started this series walking into the unknown and we have been winning ever since. You fans are our accomplices and thank you for that,” he said at a fan event celebrating Friday’s premiere.
Money Heist initially premiered in Spain and received a lukewarm reception. After it aired its final episode, Netflix added the two seasons to its international library, and the series took off! The series about Robin Hood-esque criminals became a global sensation spawning three more seasons sponsored by Netflix.
To this day, it’s one of the streaming giant’s biggest shows.

Here are the 9 movies to check out in December 2021:
Love Hard – Netflix (Nov 5)
A rom-com where you find yourself rooting for the underdog (despite the cat-fishing) and not the guy that belongs on the present-day version of an Abercrombie bag. Bonus: it stars Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries and Jimmy O. Yang in Silicon Valley.
Next Stop, Christmas – Hallmark Channel (Nov 6)
If you love the Polar Express and Back to the Future, this movie is for you. Christopher Lloyd taps into the conductor role on a time-traveling train as a woman ponders what her life would be like if she married a former boyfriend who went onto become a famous sportscaster and mysteriously finds herself 10 years in the past.
Father Christmas is Back – Netflix (Nov 7)
Four widely different sisters reunite for Christmas in a Yorkshire mansion and find themselves uncovering family secrets when their long lost father shows up for dinner. Elizabeth Hurley, Nathalie Cox, and Kelsey Grammer star in the comedy.
Home Sweet Home Alone – Disney + (Nov 12)
The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star – Netflix (Nov 18)

It’s the Fuller House reunion you didn’t know you needed! Queen of Christmas Candace Cameron Bure stars in her 11th Hallmark movie as Lara, who faces off against Ben (played by John Brotherton) in a Christmas competition. We can’t wait to see these two back together onscreen considering their chemistry in the Full House spinoff. Maybe we’ll get a surprise appearance from Danny Tanner? We dream.
