HHere’s a full rundown of when Riverdale Season 6 is streaming on Netflix.
The CW’s long-running show is the show everyone loves to hate. The series, which adapts the Archie comics, continues to be one of the network’s best performers and continues to do well on Netflix as well.
Season 5 of Riverdale only finished on The CW in early October 2021 due to filming being delayed by the global pandemic. That means those in the United States don’t have access to Season 5 right now.
As you may have heard, season 6 will be the penultimate season while season 7 is set to be the final season of the series, which is set to air in late 2022. No details on the number of episodes for the final season have been announced yet. It will come to Netflix like all previous seasons.

It took a long time since both Riverdale and Sabrina both come from the same source within the Archie Comics universe. Katy Keane also exists in the same universe but is not present on Netflix.
Kiernan Shipka confirmed on October 8 that she would reprise her role as Sabrina Spellman.
The announcement came alongside teasing: “from Greendale to Riverdale.”
Shipka directed the Netflix original series (which was produced by Warner Brothers Television, which is why she can 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.
