How to watch Riverdale Season 7 – is it streaming on Netflix?

Here’s your guide to how you can watch Riverdale Season 7, the final season of the CW show, including when it’ll be on Netflix.

Love it or hate it, Riverdale, the drama-mystery series that brought Archie Comics characters to life in variously wacky ways, has certainly made a name for itself in pop culture.

Now, the popular CW series is finally coming to an end, with its seventh season being its last – and it’s certain to go out with a bang. We’ve enjoyed this season, and you can read our review of the first three episodes here.

But when can you watch this new season, and will it be streaming on Netflix? Well, read on to find out everything you need to know.

Riverdale Season 7 release schedule

Riverdale Season 7 first premiered on the CW on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. It has now aired all twenty episodes, will the finale airing on August 23, 2023.

The official plot for the season is as thus: “The seventh season goes where no season has dared to go before – the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present.”

Will Riverdale Season 7 be streaming on Netflix?

Yes, Riverdale Season 7 will be coming to Netflix, however it won’t be at the same time that the show drops on the CW. No official Netflix release date has been confirmed yet.

Riverdale is always released on Netflix US – as well as other countries – as part of a ten year old legacy agreement between the CW and Netflix, which has turned out mutually beneficial for both parties. However, this means that all episodes of Riverdale Season 7 will drop simultaneously after it has finished airing in full on the CW.

But don’t fret, as we likely won’t have to wait long. Since Season 7 of Riverdale ended on August 23, 2023, it seems likely that the season will appear on Netflix US around a week or so later, meaning at the beginning of September, 2023.

What time will Netflix drop the episodes?
