Maturity Rating: TV-14

Synopsis

The quiet town of Riverdale is in shock after the mysterious death of Jason Blossom, a popular high school student. The series opens in September, the beginning of a new school year, that brings new students, relationships, and reveals the mysteries of the past 4th of July. In order to solve this mystery, a group of friends must first unlock the secrets that lie buried under the surface of their hometown. Riverdale may not be as innocent as it seems.

While uncovering truths about Jason’s death other high school students are uncovering truths of their own. Archie Andrews, Riverdale’s most charming, discovers his love for music and his teacher Ms. Grundy. Betty Cooper unravels her feelings for Archie, and her family secrets. Veronica Lodge might be the new girl, but her family’s dark reputation followed. Cheerleader captain Cheryl Blossom, Jason’s twin sister, does not know who to trust during these hard times. With Jughead Jones investigating everyone’s personal secrets no stone is left unturned. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead band together to find the mysteries behind Jason Blossom’s death. While the group uncovers clues that get closer to knowing the truth it seems like their parents are hiding secrets of their own.

Riverdale is hiding something. Follow these teens as they navigate the untold truths of the town they grew up in. Each episode will have you on the edge of your seat trying to find out the truth about Jason Blossom.

Questions:

  • Ms. Grundy knows that she should not be in a relationship with Archie because she is his teacher. Ms. Grundy is in a position of authority over Archie which means their relationship is assault. Archie’s friends knew what was going on and did nothing about it. What do you think the friends should have done? Why is it important to speak up when you see something that is not right?
  • When Veronica moved to Riverdale it seemed like her family’s reputation had followed her. Why would gossip at the school about Veronica’s family make it so students would treat her poorly?
  • Archie and Veronica played a game called, “Seven Minutes in Heaven” at a party. Both of them were uncomfortable to be alone together, but did it anyway. If they both felt uncomfortable why did they do it? What would you do if you were in that situation?
  • Betty’s mother went through Betty’s diary and exposed a secret she was not to know about. Should Betty’s mother have taken matters into her own hands and exposed the secret?
