Riverdale Season 6 Plot
Now, we don’t have many details regarding the upcoming season’s plot. Especially because season 5 is still airing new episodes. Although, we know one thing one is for sure. And that is season 6 is going to be the most dramatic of all the previous seasons. Those seasons were more like a background story that was prepping all viewers for the ultimate season 6 drama. You might be wondering, how are we so sure about it right?
Here is what Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (show’s creator) posted on Instagram along with a cover picture for season 6:
“Forces are gathering for the ultimate battle between Good and Evil as the cameras begin to roll on #Riverdale Season Six. But who will stand on which side? And who will live, and who will die? Everything has been a prelude to this. 🔥🌪🍔⌛️☠️💍👠👨🏼🤝👨🏽🎰🎢🚧🚑🎭🥩👭🏽👼🏽🦸🏻♂️💄💋💰💎⚰️”
All those emojis definitely mean that viewers will be in for one over-the-top, dramatic, emotional roller coaster ride with season 6.
Teaser Trailer
Well, no teaser trailer has been released up till now. But, a cover photo has been unveiled and it literally shows the two sides of a tree. One side is full of leaves and life aka the good side. While the other side has no leaves and looks pretty much barren aka the bad side. We think the cover is trying to portray the final fight between good and bad. All of this sounds extremely exciting to us!
