Afterlife With Archie (Disney+)

[ZariusTwo]

Archie and the gang are eying a return to television in a new apocalyptic setting on a new platform. Disney+ has put in development Afterlife with Archie, an hourlong drama series based on the best-selling Archie comic book series by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla, Deadline has learned. The project, which has received a script-to-series commitment, comes from the same auspices as the CW’s Riverdale and Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: writer Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti‘s Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television where Aguirre-Sacasa and Berlanti are under overall deals.


Penned by Aguirre-Sacasa based on the Archie Comics characters, Afterlife with Archie re-imagines the beloved town of Riverdale as an apocalyptic, nightmare-fueled hellscape overrun with flesh-eating zombies.

Could be fun. I wouldn't mind if they got back the Riverdale and Sabrina casts for this. Seasons 1-3 of Riverdale and seasons 1 & 2 of Sabrina were top notch, but if the inclination is to dip into the writing "quality" of those later seasons then no thanks.

For a moment I thought this was an announcement of "Archie Bunker in Hell".
