The CW Picks Up ‘Riverdale’, ‘Frequency’, ‘No Tomorrow’ to Series

Archie TV Show
The CW

The CW is adding to its roster: in addition to the Supergirl pickup, the network has ordered a reimagining of the film Frequency; a subversive take on the Archie Comics world, Riverdale; and No Tomorrow about a mismatched duo who find love.

Here’s The CW’s take on its newest shows.

FREQUENCY
In this reimagining of the New Line Cinema film, a female police detective in 2016 discovers she is able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father (also a detective) who died in 1996. They forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case, but unintended consequences of the ‘butterfly effect’ wreak havoc in the present day.

RIVERDALE
Set in present day and based on the iconic Archie Comics characters, “Riverdale” is a surprising and subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica, and their friends, exploring the surrealism of small town life — the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade.
