Bughead Said 'I Love You' on 'Riverdale's Season Finale - What's Next For The Couple?

A lot of things were happening in the Riverdale season finale.

Fred Andrews got shot, Archie and Veronica took a huge step in their relationship, Hot Dog made his debut, Cheryl almost committed suicide, and Jughead and Betty said “I love you” to each other.

So, what happens now with our fave Riverdale couple?

“They’re still very much together in season two, but as we saw in the finale Jughead is setting off on a different path,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared. “He’s going to a different school, living in a different area of town. Perhaps most significantly, it seems like he’s joining the Southside Serpents.”

He adds, “I think that will create obvious tension with Betty, assuming he tells her. There’s a chance Jughead will be trying to live a double life, one with Betty and one with the Serpents. That is absolutely a big story we’re telling with Betty and Jughead in season two.”

The big question is, will they last? Especially with Jughead joining The Serpents?

“I think that’s the question Betty is asking in that moment as she’s looking out the doorway and seeing Jughead put on the jacket,” Roberto says. “You can imagine that after the Serpents leave that night, probably Betty and Jughead are going to be doing a lot of talking and not much fooling around.”
