The first promo for The CW's Riverdale is here, giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect from this "subversive" take on the classic Archie Comics. Early reactions to the pilot screening at Sdcc were mostly positive, but it's difficult to imagine any purist getting on board with this. Then again, maybe you feel the material could have used a bit of an update? Check out the teaser below and let us know what you make of it. Riverdale is set to premiere on January 26, and stars Kj Apa as Archie, Andrews, Camilia Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Cole Sprouse as Jughead, Ross Butler as Reggie Mantle, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Daniel Yang as Dilton Doiley, Cody Kearsley as Moose Mason, Ashleigh Murray as Josie, Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, Marisol Nichols as Mrs. Lodge, Mädchen Amick as Alice Cooper, and Luke Perry as Fred Andrews.

Luke Perry is stepping back into the world of teen drama with The CW's Riverdale. The Beverly Hills, 90210 veteran will play dad to Archie (K.J. Apa) in the series based on the long-running Archie Comics, but he's not exactly dolling out advice to the budding new teen heartthrobs. "That's not my job," he told E!

The offcial Archie Comics Twitter account has posted a set snap of Kj Apa as Archie Andrews as he'll appear in the CW's upcoming Riverdale show. The pilot is currently shooting in Vancouver, and will apparently offer a "subversive" take on the material. Whether you like the sound of that or not, you've got to admit that Apa makes for a very comic-accurate Archie. Hey @kj_apa, we're digging the hair color!

The CW’s modern take on Archie comics has added three more “Riverdale” residents. Ross Butler, Daniel Yang and Cody Kearsley are joining the Greg Berlanti drama pilot, TheWrap has learned. “Riverdale” is set in the present day and is based on the iconic Archie Comics characters. It is described as a surprising and subversive take on Archie (Kj Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and their friends, exploring the surrealism of small town life — the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade. Butler will play the role of Reggie Mantle, Yang will be Dilton Doiley.
