Riverdale with KJ APA
Riverdale is a new series set to air on the CW network early next year. The show is inspired by the iconic Archie comics, and New Zealander KJ Apa (who is part Samoan) stars as the lead, Archie Andrews.
Riverdale will be a subversive and mysterious take on the lives of Archie, Jughead, Betty & Veronica.
"Its definitely 'Archie', but a little darker, a little more complex and a little weirder than you might remember from the digest you bought at the supermaket," executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said in an interview with EW at Comic Con in July.

We spoke to KJ this morning , and he is just as excited as we are! "We've all worked really hard to create something epic for people to enjoy. I can't wait for everyone to see it, especially everyone back home. I feel extremely humbled and proud to be representing Aotearoa and Samoa."

Fingers crossed the show will get picked up by a network here in New Zealand. We can't wait to see it!
