The Archie Comics TV universe is about to get even bigger with the addition of Katy Keene. Back in May, The CW officially picked up the show's pilot, and fans of the stylish title character have since been aching for more information. Slowly but surely, the network has revealed tidbits about the small-screen adaptation, and we've been keeping track. Keep reading to get all the exciting details we have about the new series, including its premiere date!
The Trailer

The Story
The new series will take the action to New York City. Variety described it as "a musical dramedy [that] chronicles the origins and struggles of four aspiring artists trying to make it on Broadway, on the runway and in the recording studio."
It's expected to be tonally different from both Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, with the "musical dramedy" description suggesting it'll be lighter and more fun. Airing on The CW (the same network as Riverdale) opens up some exciting possibilities for the kind of crossover we haven't seen with Sabrina.
The Cast
While Lucy Hale will take on the title role, Ashleigh Murray will reprise her Riverdale character, Josie. See who else is part of the all-star cast!
The Creative Team
Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will once again take the helm, alongside Michael Grassi, a producer for Riverdale.
The Premiere Date
You'll get to watch the squad of young hopefuls take the Big Apple by storm on Feb. 6, 2020!
