Here’s when new episodes of Riverdale will return in 2020

Here's when new episodes of season four of Riverdale will be back on Netflix.

The CW drama's midseason finale ended with a massive cliffhanger that divided fans - which, seemingly, resolved that Jughead mystery once and for all.  But it looks like fans are in for a long wait to find out what really happened. Season four of Riverdale will be returning to the CW in North America on January 22. And with new episodes typically debuting on Netflix in Ireland the following day, that means it will be back on January 23.  The drama all kicked off with a massive flash forward at the end of season three, which seemingly hinted at Jughead's demise. And it didn't help when Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told TVLine that fans should be "very worried" about Jughead. "Every year, we try to explore a different genre, or a different type of pulp or noir trope. This next season, it’s sort of our homage to the novels we read growing up, like Christopher Pike and Lois Duncan, [who wrote] I Know What You Did Last Summer and Killing Mr. Griffin," he said, discussing the central mystery of season four. "I’m a huge fanatic of Donna Tartt’s novel The Secret History. So we kind of wanted to explore a genre that focused on the school and the students, and that’s what led to the flash-forward."
