The fourth season of the series ended in a very intriguing place. Some insiders shared information about what awaits the heroes in the new, already 5th season.
As it turned out, in the very first episode, the audience will be shown footage from the graduation of the main characters: Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jaghet. Insiders report that the crew and cast have already filmed more than half of the prom night, which was slated to be Episode 20 of Season 4. However, later production was stopped due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, filming was postponed, and now the graduation episode will be in the first episode of the 5th season.

It is also worth expecting that immediately after the prom there will be a time jump, and viewers will see the main characters who have already matured a little.
