"Riverdale" Releases Season 2 Episode 2 Photos
We still have a few days to go until Riverdale returns for its dark new season, but if you can't wait much longer, we have good news for you. The CW has released photos from season 2's second episode — officially called "Chapter Fifteen: Nighthawks," after showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's penchant for naming chapters after throwback movies. And while the 1981 film Nighthawks is about Sylvester Stallone trying to solve a mystery before a terrorist can pull off his evil plan, the second episode of Riverdale seems like it will be a bit less dramatic.
Most of the new photos seem to take place at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, which is where Fred Andrews was — spoiler alert! — shot at the end of season one. We don't know if he'll survive quite yet, but the new photos do show both #Bughead and #Varchie cozying up inside the diner. The vintage outfits are back, too. But what's most exciting might just be the addition of Charles Melton as Reggie and Mark Consuelos as Hiram Lodge. Click through to see all of the photos from the episode, which is set to air October 18.
