Archie Andrews and his pals are coming back to TV in a new show from the same team behind Riverdale, CW's often bizarre, incredibly melodramatic adaptation of Archie's world. This time though, they're fully embracing a totally different side of Archie as he and the Riverdale gang are beset by zombies in an adaptation of the horror comic Afterlife With Archie (via Deadline).
Created by writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Franceso Francavilla, Afterlife With Archie could be described as something like The Walking Dead if it were set in Riverdale. And though one might think that the story would pull its punches thanks to its roots in the all-ages Archie Comics line, it's a bloody, terrifying horror story that doesn't shy away from its zombie-ness.
