A Retro 'Riverdale' Scene Was Cut From Season Two
Remember back in season 1 of Riverdale when we had that awesome retro scene with the core four — Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead — looking like they were pulled straight from the comics?
Well, it turns out that there was another scene like that planned for season two — only to be cut for time.
The scene was planned for the second episode “Nighthawks”, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared with EW.
“We actually shot this really cool sequence that we ended up cutting for time,” he explained. “The camera tracked across like four or five booths, and each booth was a different time period. In one booth, you had the kids in the ’40s.”
“In another booth you had Kevin and Moose in the ’50s, and in another booth you had Josie and the Pussycats in the ’70s. In the next booth, you had Cheryl in the ’80s.”
While that scene probably won’t make it on screen, we’re hoping for a fun digital extra sometime before the season ends.
It also looks like another retro scene is planned, and the writers are hoping to find another place for a throwback moment.
