When will Season 6 of ‘Riverdale’ be on Netflix?
Riverdale season 6 is coming to Netflix around the world, but when it arrives depends on where you live. If you’re outside the US, you’ve been getting weekly episode drops with new episodes arriving on Netflix on Mondays. The US has a bit longer to wait. Here’s a complete rundown of when Riverdale season 6 will be streaming on Netflix.
The long-running show from The CW is the show everyone loves to hate. Adapting the Archie comics, the series continues to be one of the network’s best performers and continues to perform well on Netflix too. Season 5 of Riverdale only wrapped up on The CW in early October 2021 due to filming delays caused by the global pandemic. That means those in the United States still currently don’t have access to season 5.
As you may have heard, season 6 is set to be the penultimate season with season 7 set to be the final season of the show. No details on episode count for the final season have been announced as of yet and the release is expected to be in 2023. It will, like all previous seasons, come to Netflix.
Netflix’s Sabrina Spellman will star in Riverdale season 6
It’s been a long time coming given that both Riverdale and Sabrina both come from the same source within the Archie comics universe. Katy Keane also exists in the same universe but isn’t present on Netflix. Kiernan Shipka confirmed on October 8th that she’d be reprising her role as Sabrina Spellman.
The announcement came alongside the tease: “from Greendale to Riverdale.”
Shipka headlined the Netflix Original series (which was produced by Warner Brothers Television which is why she’s able to appear in Riverdale) Chilling Adventures of Sabrina which ran for four seasons.
Her character will appear in a crossover that took place in the fourth episode. For fans of the Netflix show, you’ll know things didn’t work out too well for Sabrina so how exactly she comes to reprise her role in Riverdale is yet to be seen. The official Netflix synopsis for the sixth season is: “Darkness knows no limits as Archie, Betty, Cheryl, Veronica and Jughead face a new season of uncertainty in their humble-yet-haunting hometown.”
Riverdale Season 6 Releasing Weekly on Netflix Outside the United States
For those outside the United States, once again you’ll be getting episodes of Riverdale season 6 weekly the day after it airs on The CW. New episodes air Tuesdays before dropping on Netflix at 8:00 AM GMT in every region outside the United States. That includes Netflix Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Latin American, and the Middle East. It’s worth noting that after episode 5, the series will go on a few months long hiatus before returning on March 21st.
