This is why Riverdale is going back to the 1950s for their final season.
Although Riverdale is based on the characters from the comic book series Archie Comics—which was first published in 1942—the CW television series took a dark spin and introduced some rather insane plotlines. But now that the series is down to its seventh and final season, the show's executive producer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, said that the characters will be sent centuries back to serve as a "love letter" to the comics it was based on.
Following the recently released 50s-inspired poster, which draws inspiration from the popular comic book series, Riverdale's official Twitter page released a clip with the show's executive producer explaining why they chose a 1950s timeline for the final season. In the clip, the characters "shake things up" and are, of course, dressed in the 1950s ensemble.

And with Season 6 introducing a comet time machine, original cast members will be back in high school for the seventh season—in the 1950s, in particular—with only Jughead aware of the past, struggling to take everyone back to the modern era.
Apart from Sprouse, Apa, and Mendes, Lili Reinhart will return to reprise her role as Betty Cooper, as well as Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz, Charles Melton as Reggie Matle, and Drew Ray Tanner as Fangs Fogarty.
