Riverdale Season 6 Episode 9 Trailer: Cheryl Wants Betty Dead
Old friends have officially turned foes in Riverdale season 6 with the arrival of the trailer for episode 9, titled «The Serpent Queen's Gambit.» Since 2017, the CW's Riverdale has been concocting outlandish, yet satisfyingly creepy, storylines that involve everything from serial killers to mobsters to ancient family curses. Loosely based on the Archie comics which gained popularity in the 1940s and 50s, the series brings recognizable characters, like Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead, to life in a subversive and dark teen drama. Seasons 1 through 4 were set in high school, with last season making a seven-year time jump to where Archie and his pals have reunited in their hometown after going their separate ways for a stint.
This season brings the arrival of new foes and old faces. The season 5 finale saw the end of an era, as series regular villain Hiram Lodge (played by Mark Consuelos) officially exited the show. Now, a mysterious newcomer named Percival Pickens (Chris O'Shea) has come to stir up the supernatural dust. Riverdale is no stranger to supernatural elements, but this season 6 saw an official crossover with Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, as Sabrina herself (Kiernan Shipka) arrived to help Cheryl Blossom craft a curse on her friends-turned-enemies. The trailer for episode 9 sets up the fallout of these rivalries and the impending doom brought by Percival.
