Everyone's favorite murder mystery-turned supernatural drama Riverdalehas kept fans intrigued — if not completely bewildered — for six years now. Cast members Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, KJ Apa, Madelaine Petsch, and Cole Sprouse have basically become household names, and now, with the start of the show's seventh season, they're officially saying goodbye to the Town With Pep. Alas, it's the end of an era.

If you want to find out how things end for Archie and his friends in RiverdaleSeason 7, you'll have plenty of ways to tune in. Here's what you need to know.

How many seasons of Riverdale are there?

Riverdalepremiered in January 2017 on The CW, and just kicked off its seventh season. While many fans are torn about whether the show has overstayed its welcome, the CW’s CEO Mark Pedowitz told Deadline, "We want to make sure it goes out the right way.”

Is the 7th season of Riverdale the last?

In March 2022, Riverdalewas renewed for a seventh season. It was also announced that the seventh season would officially be the end of the subversive Archie Comics-based series. Season 7 premiered on March 29, 2023, and the series finale is set to air on August 23, 2023. The core cast has already started diving into other acting roles to expand their repertoire.

How many episodes are in Season 7 of Riverdale?

The seventh and final season of Riverdalewill consist of 20 episodes, released weekly on the CW. With exception of the pilot season, every season of the show has had between 19 and 22 episodes, so we expect the final season to follow a similar format.

How to watch Riverdale Season 7 for free

New episodes of RiverdaleSeason 7 hit the CW every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET. If you're a stickler for watching new episodes live, you'll need a cable subscription or a live TV subscription like FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV. Of course, all of these options come with a price tag.

If you don't mind waiting until the next day to watch new episodes of Riverdale, you have a few different routes for streaming — including a free one. The CW app and website both add new episodes the day after they air on live TV. The CW app requires no subscription or login — it's always free. There are just a couple of qualms. First, the free collection only includes the five most recent episodes throughout the season. So, you'll have to be extremely strategic with your watch schedule. Second, you'll have to sit through ad breaks with no options for skipping. Hey, what do you expect when you get to watch for free?

One of our favorite workarounds for those issues, however, is a handy VPN. RiverdaleSeason 7 premieres on UK Netflix and Canadian Netflix the day after the live episodes air on TV in the U.S. Netflix doesn't limit the episode selection, so you can watch at your own leisure. And with the right subscription, you won't have to sit through annoying ads. Win-win. Of course, you'll have to subscribe to a VPN and connect to a server in the UK or Canada in order to access the content — and VPNs usually require a paid subscription. Fortunately, we've got you covered with the best deals.
