The first look at Riverdale’s seventh and final season has arrived, and the crew is heading back in time for one of their greatest mysteries yet: being trapped in the ’50s. Series creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa recently took to social media to give viewers a sneak peek at a character introduction for the season. In his caption, he states that they are “making something truly special this year.” The footage followed shortly after Entertainment Weekly’s photo reveal for the upcoming season.

The CW’s traditional early-renewal blitz has finally arrived, although the volume of pickups is down from previous years.

The network on Tuesday renewed seven series for the 2022-23 TV season, including All American (for Season 5), The Flash (for Season 9), Superman & Lois (for Season 3), Riverdale (for Season 7), Walker (for Season 3), Kung Fu (for Season 3) and Nancy Drew (for Season 4).

This marks the first time in four years that The CW has waited until spring to issue its first wave of scripted renewals. (By comparison, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, the network had already handed early pickups by February.)

The “delay” — coupled with the more modest number of renewals — comes as The CW’s corporate parents, Paramount and WarnerMedia, are exploring a sale of the network. (Local-TV behemoth Nexstar is said to be among the suitors.)

If and when a deal goes through, the new owners are expected to implement a new programming strategy, potentially leaving many current CW series vulnerable to cancellation or, in a rosier scenario, primed for relocation to ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia’s respecting streaming outlets, Paramount+ and HBO Max.

Actor and musician KJ Apa has been named the new face of Lacoste and will be mainly front the Crocodile brand’s underwear category.

The New Zealand-born actor, best known for playing Archie Andrews in the TV show Riverdale, will represent Lacoste for two years and star in the brand’s campaign film in autumn 2022.

In a short statement, Lacoste said that Apa was chosen to represent the brand due to “shared values, creativity and energy,” as the brand looks to reinforce its dominance in the underwear category.

Commenting on his new role, Apa said: “I’ve always loved the versatility of Lacoste, which is the perfect combination of fashion and sport.”

Lacoste first launched its underwear collection in 1966 and has reinvented its pieces to more modern materials that are in tune with the times that offer comfort and freedom of movement.

The sportswear brand added that the underwear category represents a “very strong growth potential,” and is at the heart of Lacoste’s ambitions to offer a complete silhouette.
