Even though the long-running The CW series inches closer to its finale, there are still a ton of things to look forward to (and some serious questions that need to be answered) as Riverdale nears the end of its run. With next week's S07E17: "Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Four: A Different Kind of Cat" (Kevin Rodney Sullivan directed the episode written by Ariana Jackson & Evan Kyle), we see that Ashleigh Murray's Josie McCoy is set to return. Well, 1950s version, at least… And following that, we have S07E18: "Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Five: For A Better Tomorrow," which brings a new mystery to Riverdale – but could it lead to an even bigger reveal that even Jughead (Cole Sprouse) realizes…

What You Need to Know About Season 7

The seventh season of Riverdale goes where no season has dared to go before — the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they've ever been anywhere but the 1950s.

Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life lessons; Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is the girl next door, starting to question everything about her perfect life—including her controlling mother Alice (Madchen Amick); Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) is a Hollywood starlet who moved to Riverdale under mysterious circumstances; Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the Queen Bee with a withering wit and a secret longing; Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) is an activist fighting for the Black students of recently integrated Riverdale High; Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) is a "square" crooner wrestling with his sexual identity; Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton) is a basketball star from farm country; and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) is a greaser who's destined to be an Elvis-type star.

It isn't until Jughead is visited by Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook) — Riverdale's Guardian Angel — that he learns the cosmic truth about their predicament. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950's forever? And, if so…is that such a bad thing?
