The all new episode is the final one before the series jumps forward seven years. This ep was originally meant to be the season four finale.

“Today’s a big day in #Riverdale. As excited/nervous as I was for my own high school graduation waaaay too many years ago. Somehow, this one means more. Not all of our characters survived to make it to graduation. Not all of the actors we wanted to come back were able to for various reasons (including Covid). But so grateful to everyone in this picture. And to many more who aren’t in the picture, but we’ll be seeing soon. Next stop: Seven years in the future…🚀🎢📸👀💥☠️,” he shared on Instagram, where he’s been sharing tidbits.

“All the secrets will come out; all the tears will flow,” Roberto shared the day before.

“The gang finally graduates, tonight. 🎓 a very sentimental, emotional episode for everyone who has been on this Riverdale journey with us since day 1,” Lili Reinhart shared on her social media.

“Everything changes tonight. @thecwriverdale,” KJ Apa added.

If you missed the good news, it was just announced that Riverdale has already been picked up for another season, along with many other CW shows!

“Last day…for now! Thank you, Skeet, for everything. Don’t be a stranger, in life, nor on the show. There will always be a hook for you to hang your Serpent jacket on in Riverdale. ❤️🏆🐍🚀,” Roberto commented.

Cole Sprouse is speaking out about his Riverdale co-star Skeet Ulrich leaving the show.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Skeet would be exiting the show after the just ended season four.

In a recent interview, Cole opened up about his feelings on his co-star saying goodbye.

“I think it’s easy, as an actor, especially on a long-term project to start feeling like, creatively, you’re repeating the same motifs or, or whatever it is,” he told Variety. “But in truth, Jughead was a much more prominent character than FP was on the show. So, I don’t think I’m really qualified to talk on that because to compare and contrast our two positions is sort of fruitless.”

“Skeet’s truly a second father to me, so I’m, like, ride or die for that guy,” Cole added. “So, anything that makes that guy happy is something that makes me happy.”

In case you missed it, see how fans reacted when Skeet revealed the real reason as to why he left the show.

“When you just found out that Skeet Ulrich is leaving Riverdale,” another said.

“skeet ulrich said he left riverdale bc it was boring period period this is why i stan billy loomis,” a Twitter user said, referencing his Scream character.
