"Things that pose a threat to consume and destroy the human brain: (1) zombies; (2) the CW's ; (3) a spinoff Riverdale about zombies. Disney+ is developing Afterlife With Archie, an apocalyptic hourlong drama written and produced by the same duo behind Riverdale and Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Greg Berlanti, per Deadline. If you think that a zombie show about Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and the gang sounds random, you must be new here."
"For example, a brief list of stuff far spookier than zombies that happened over the course of the show's seven-season run: Cult kidnappings, an organ-harvesting ring, ritualistic human sacrifice, a mass murderer called "The Black Hood," a "Gargoyle King," a "Mothman," literally Satan, something called "the serial-killer gene," a possessed doll containing the spirit of a triplet consumed in the womb, a twincest relationship featuring a rotting corpse, a juvenile-prison fight club, underage-tickle-fetish porn, Veronica developing pheromone-venom that kills her lovers, a Biblical plague upon the town's firstborn, and musical numbers."
Disney+ is developing Afterlife With Archie as an apocalyptic hourlong drama based on Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's 2013–14 horror-themed Archie comics. The series will be written and produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Greg Berlanti, the creative duo behind Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The project centers on Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and their friends confronting a zombie apocalypse. Riverdale's televised narrative previously incorporated cult kidnappings, organ-harvesting, ritualistic human sacrifice, a mass murderer called The Black Hood, supernatural figures like a Gargoyle King and Mothman, demonic possession, extreme sexual and violent storylines, and genre-blending musical elements.
