The CW Television Network
Aries (March 21 - April 19): F. P. Jones
F. P. Jones got a pretty bad reputation when the show started, but he redeemed himself as it continued. Just like that, Aries people tend to get bad reputations (thanks to their big personalities), but they're not that bad. They're actually pretty idealistic and good-hearted once you break through their tougher exteriors.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Hermione Lodge
Hermione is SUCH a strong character. For the most part, she stays very low-profile. Just like a Taurus, her best trait is her strong will. She needs to be strong enough to hold her own with her husband, Hiram. And she does just that.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Hiram Lodge
Unlike Hiram Lodge, Gemini people don't usually have bad reputations. They're very good at changing their behavior to avoid trouble and to stay in the public's favor. Hiram kept his questionable business practices under wraps for a while, but ultimately, he couldn't stay above the law. He's a savvy businessman and a master manipulator, just like Gemini people tend to be. (In the best way possible.)
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Kevin Keller
Sure, Kevin could have aligned with a sign besides Cancer, but also... We love Kevin. We love his emotions. His feelings drive him to act out or do things that his friends don't necessarily approve of, but it really do be like that sometimes.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): Cheryl Blossom
Cheryl is loud. Cheryl is in charge. Cheryl is confident. Cheryl is basically the human version of caps lock.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Fred Andrews
Fred Andrews is idealistic and pure. He reminds me of a golden retriever. Sure, Virgo people have their dark sides (and so does Fred), but for the most part, they're some pure beings.
Libra (September 23 - October 22): Archie Andrews
Archie always wants to do the right thing. Libras have a REALLY strong sense of justice, so this lines up.
SPOILER: In the premiere of season three, Archie does the most Libra thing that he possibly can. He pleads guilty to a murder that he DID NOT COMMIT because he feels he should be punished for not stopping it. He might as well have screamed, "I'm a Libra" on his way out of the courtroom.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Veronica Lodge
Veronica is easily the most seductive character on "Riverdale". But wait, there's more! She's also smart. She masterminds plans just like her dad does. Scorpios are known for their seductive natures and their ability to run things from behind the scenes.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Toni Topaz
Alright, so we don't know all that much about Toni. In fact, I had to make this GIF myself. That's how little she's been involved in the world of "Riverdale" so far. Even so, she seems to be more of a free-spirit than some other characters, landing her in the Sagittarius role.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Josie McCoy
When you think of Josie, you think of Josie and the Pussycats. Capricorns are hard workers and can be career-focused. That's the vibe I'm getting.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Jughead Jones
Jughead is Riverdale's resident philosopher. Ask any Aquarius what they're thinking, and they'll probably go on a Jughead-like tangent. Aquarius people are quirky, and Jughead completely embraces his quirks. He's an Aquarius through and through.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Betty Cooper
Pisces people have a very positive and bubbly aura about them, but they're not all sunshine and rainbows. Pisces people can actually be the moodiest in the Zodiac. Just like Betty, they're deeper than they appear.
Netflix
The Coopers
Betty, Polly, Alice, and Harold (Hal) Cooper are the heart and soul of Riverdale. With Polly being gone most of show, and Alice and Hal being the sole proprietors of the Riverdale Register (the local newspaper), Betty becomes highly curious about local travesties. She inherits this "sleuthing" ability and because of that she becomes a local hero who helps solve crimes.
The Blossoms
The Blossom family...the start of Riverdale begins with their known maple syrup company. In the beginning of the show, the town mourns the loss of the young football star, Jason Blossom. He left behind his pregnant girlfriend named Polly Cooper, his uncomfortably attached twin sister, Cheryl Blossom, and his psychotic parents, Clifford and Penelope Blossom.
This twisted family is the cause of the drug epidemic in Riverdale, known as "jingle-jangle."
The Andrews
The Andrews Family: Archibald (Archie) and Fred Andrews, head of Andrews Construction. Archie is an all-star athlete, boy next door, who also happens to be a musician? What even. Fred Andrews gets into some nasty business with Hiram Lodge, which is the devil to the Southside.
The Lodges
The Lodges are from the wonderful world of New York, but Hiram Lodge was arrested for embezzlement. So Hermione and Veronica ran off to Riverdale. They have a terrible reputation because of Hiram's criminal background, but as soon as he steps foot out of prison, he spends no time waiting around to get what he wants. He becomes the worst enemy for the Southside as he buys it all up, hoping to expand his big plans. Hermione runs for mayor and wins later on. Veronica dates the boy next door and unintentionally gets Archie involved with Hiram.
The Jones
Jughead and FP Jones, are without the mother figure and younger sibling named Jellybean. FP Jones is the leader of the Southside Serpent gang. Jughead is an aspiring writer, who slowly morphs into a serpent. Jughead is a natural-born sleuth, much like his girlfriend, Betty Cooper. FP used to be in a relationship with Alice Cooper, and they had a child together that stayed at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
In the town of Riverdale, four friends (Veronica, Jughead, Archie, and Betty) come together to solve Riverdale's most pressing mysteries. They solved the abrupt murder mystery of the young Jason Blossom, who was killed by his own father, Clifford. They solved the murder mystery of the Black Hood killer, who was Hal Cooper, Betty's own father.
I never expected all of the twists and turns of this show. Much like the random musical numbers from Carrie: The Musical being implemented into the show's storyline. I was honestly shocked and immensely impressed. The writers of the show do a really good job at hiding who the killer is, and definitely not giving it away. They make you question everyone, and I thought everyone was the killer at some point or another!!
I definitely recommend this show. I didn't think I would get involved in this show, but I truly did. I got sucked in to this show so quickly that I am BEYOND ready for season three to be ready!!
How is Archie going to get out of jail?
Perhaps the most obvious question is also the most complex. It is clear that Hiram convinced the sheriff he is in cahoots with to wrongfully arrest Archie for the murder of one of the men who broke into Veronica's lake house during their weekend away together. Archie heard Andre fire a gunshot that night and apparently that ended up killing this man that Archie has now been accused of killing.
However, with Andre dead, no other witnesses to the killing, Veronica being on the outs with her father, and Hiram running everything in Riverdale (including the sheriff's office and the mayor's office), getting Archie out of this mess will be the biggest challenge yet. An entire season with a main character behind bars does seem rather unlikely though and hopefully, former Riverdale mayor turned lawyer Sierra McCoy will help Archie out of this mess.
Is Chic dead or alive?
Oh Chic, the creepy, imposter long lost brother to Betty was turned over to the black hood by Betty in season two. However, it is never confirmed that he is dead and when Hal reveals himself as the black hood, he does not confess to murdering Chic. The man from the morgue hasn't called Betty's mom yet either to let her know about his dead body like he usually does. Chic could still be alive and that could be a huge problem for Betty and her friends if he comes back looking for revenge in season three. It could also be an issue if he wants to accuse Betty and Alice for covering up his murder (or maybe even frame them for it). After all, he reminded Betty that he never touched the body.
Will FP and Alice finally get together?
After it was revealed that the son Alice gave up for adoption in high school is actually FP's and not Hal's, it is clear that Alice and FP have a deeper history than was previously known. It is clear that the two still care for each other: Alice picked FP up from jail, FP helped get rid of the man Chic murdered, FP and the Serpents helped the girlfriend of Chic's murder victim get out of town when she came around threatening to blackmail them, etc. With Hal probably spending the rest of his life in jail, will Alice and FP finally become a couple? What will that mean for Jughead and Betty? Will Alice rejoin the Serpents?
What is the next big mystery to solve in season three?
"Riverdale" is a mystery show at its core. Season one revolved around finding Jason Blossom's killer, while season two was all about finding out who the black hood was. The mystery for season three seems unclear. However, there could be another black hood to be found perhaps, or maybe the season will revolve around taking down the ultimate villain: Hiram Lodge.
Are Jughead, FP, and the Serpents in danger?
After Penny Peabody and the Ghoulies' failed attempted murder on Jughead, are he and the rest of the Southside Serpents still in danger? It is clear that Hiram wanted Jughead out of the picture, so will he try to hurt him and the Serpents again in season three?
What REALLY happened in the barn the night Clifford died?
When Cheryl was threatening her mother after the fire, she threatens to tell everyone what really happened in the barn the night Clifford died of an apparent suicide. Is there still more to this story? Did Clifford really take his own life, did Cheryl's mom force him into it, or did Penelope kill him herself and make it look like a suicide? This secret hasn't gotten out yet, but maybe it could be one of the keys to breaking down Hiram Lodge's group of criminal associates, including Penelope and Clifford's twin brother Claudius.
Speaking of Claudius, what is really going on with him?
One of the biggest surprises of season two was the surprise arrival of Clifford's long lost brother Claudius. He and Penelope look like they've known each other much longer though when Cheryl overhears them talking. What is concerning is that they wanted to get rid of Cheryl and Nana Rose but failed. Could they be in danger in season three?
Also, Claudius said that he wanted to get revenge on the Lodge family, yet it is revealed that he and Penelope appear to be in Hiram's group of criminal associates. What is up with that? Also, with some mystery still surrounding Clifford's death, could Claudius actually be Clifford or he be involved in his death? That may be far-fetched, but anything is possible in Riverdale.
Where was Ethel Muggs after the musical? Did she write the notes demanding that the role of Carrie be recast?
After Jughead found magazines with letters cut out of the headlines in the trash can in Ethel's dressing room, it sure looked like she was behind the demanding notes with pasted letters on them supposedly from the black hood to recast the role of Carrie. She denied it to Jughead and to the police, but was not seen after her interrogation at the station. She and Archie were the only ones left running for student body president yet she was no where to be found. This seems suspicious....
Is Polly hiding something?
Once Chic and Hal are gone, Polly returns and offers to have someone from the mysterious "farm" come and help her mom heal. When Alice agrees, Polly has a chilling look on her face. This whole thing with Polly and the supposed "farm" (which sounds a whole lot like a cult) is still very suspicious. Polly may be bringing this person in from the "farm" to maybe get revenge on Alice if Polly is still mad about how she sent her aways to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. No matter what happens with this person from the mysterious "farm," it will be very interesting in season three.
What will Veronica and her mom do now?
After Small Fry came to avenge his father Papa Poutine's death by attempting to murder Veronica and Hermione in their home, both mother and daughter seemed to be fed up with Hiram putting them in danger. After Veronica made a deal with her father involving him essentially cutting her off, what is she going to do? She owns Pop's diner now at least but her frayed relationship with her father could be a huge problem. As for Hermione, she won the election and is supposed to use the mayor's office to ensure that Hiram's shady plans for the Southside go through. Will she stand by her man or will she do all things legally as mayor?
