Falling somewhere between Twin Peaks, a Scandinavian crime drama, and a Gossip Girl spinoff starring a squad of suspiciously adult-looking high school students, the teaser for Riverdale looks like it will play well with the Teen Wolf audience.

It’s too early to know for sure, but right now K.J. Apa’s orange ‘Archie’ hair is one of the first standout performances of the show.
