1. Fred's Fate Will Be Revealed

“I would be so grateful if you make it clear that we are 100% going to deal with Fred’s death,” he said.
“We didn’t want to rush into that at the end of the season and give it short shrift or not make that story as great and emotional as it needs to be to honor both the character and the actor. I think that’s going to be a big part of Archie’s journey next season, honestly."
2. The Season 4 Premiere Will be a Tribute to Luke Perry

"Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honor Luke & Fred. ❤️🏆💎👨🏻💻"
3. Shannen Doherty Will Appear!

"They were such good friends, and when we were putting together this tribute episode, we wanted to make it as special as possible,” Roberto said at San Diego Comic Con.
“We asked Shannen to do a pivotal, super-emotional role. She read the script and immediately said yes. It’s very impactful.”

8. Jughead is Leaving Riverdale High

“Jughead’s only in Riverdale on the weekends now. So his main story line is the prep school, which is the sort of building blocks of the whole flash-forward thing that we’re doing with season 4,” Cole said. “It’s kind of the focus of the mystery this season—this very strange, elitist prep school.”
9. How Did it Happen?
