Season 3 will run for 22 episodes. Filming for the third season began in July and wrapped in April 2019. Filming for the finale episode (3x22) took place at the start of April and the cast have now wrapped on season 3.

What will happen in Riverdale season 3?

According to show-runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Riverdale season 3 will take on a completely different tone and genre. It'll be focusing more on the friendships and relationships that have been established over the first two seasons. We'll also be taking deeper looks into certain characters backstories, including the history shared between all the parents.

Several new characters will also be arriving in town to shake things up. Jughead's mum Gladys (Gina Gershon) and sister Jellybean (Trinity Likins) have now come back to Riverdale and will no doubt cause a lot of trouble for a lot of people. Cult leader Edgar Evernever (Chad Michael Murray) from The Farm and his daughter Evelyn (Zoe De Grand'Maison) are also set to make a huge impact on the town - for all the wrong reasons.

The main mystery surrounding the season will be that of the Gargoyle King and the game, Gryphons and Gargoyles. The second half of the season is said to explore more of the cult that Alice and Polly Cooper are involved in.
