'Riverdale' Showrunner Warns Fans to Be Worried About Jughead Next Season

No one will be safe in Riverdale‘s fourth season!

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa just teased that the show’s Core Four (Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead) will go through some major turmoil next season – and he says fans should be especially concerned for Jughead (played by Cole Sprouse).

Fans were already worried about Jughead thanks to a flash-forward in Riverdale‘s season finale that featured the group burning the character’s iconic hat and saying they won’t be friends anymore.

When Us Weekly asked Roberto if the moment meant fans should worry about the beloved character, he was quick to say that it means exactly that.

“You know, I would be,” he said. “I think of all the murders and stuff that’s happened in our town, blessedly our core four have been spared the worst of it. It also felt like in this last go-around, again we would put them at the very center of the mystery.”

Riverdale returns for its fourth season in the fall on The CW.
