Riverdale is... TWIN PEAKS

According to Variety, the CW has picked up the Riverdale pilot, based on the long-running (read: why won't it die?!?) Archie comic book series. The producer is apparently promising a "surprising and subversive take" on the material that explores "the surrealism of small town life — the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome façade." Hopefully that's a PR-approved way of saying Archie is secretly an incubus.
