“The second half of season 2 gets back to a little bit of Riverdale basics, which is focused on stories at the school, kind of getting back in deep on the relationships and the friendships,” he tells Entertainment Weekly.

But does that mean there’ll be less “hijinks”? Nope, not at all.

“There’s still going to be a pulpy noir crime element to the second half, but there will be a resurgence of high school hijinks, and getting back to the roots of what Archie’s all about, which is the kids and the school,” Aguirre-Sacasa tells EW.

Riverdale returns to the CW Jan. 17—and we're so ready.
