Riverdale star Kj Apa says the show’s constant shirtless scenes with him “messed” him up.
The actor opened up about sometimes disagreeing with how his character Archie Andrews was sexualized throughout the series.
“I’ve been through a lot of s— with that. It can mess with your head a little bit,” he explained.
The New Zealand actor recounted how his original enthusiasm about shirtless scenes eventually turned into a stressor.
“At first, as a young child, which is what I was, I thought it was cool – you almost want the opportunity to be shirtless. I was like, ‘Yeah, let me take my shirt off. Boom!’ And then you gotta consistently stay in incredible shape. It takes a toll,” he explained to Variety.
He recalled times when he didn’t know how to advocate for himself regarding this dilemma.

Over the course of seven seasons, “Riverdale” has told a lot of wild stories involving time travel, multiple universes, supernatural forces and more generally surreal weirdness than one might expect from a teen drama on The CW.
However, when the long-running series came to a close on Wednesday, the show wrapped everything up with a somber, emotionally powerful and surprisingly heartfelt story in which essentially everyone died. Or, more accurately, everyone was already dead when the finale began.
The show kicked off in the present day with an 86-year-old Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) sitting at home, where she reads in the newspaper that Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) had died at the age of 84.
Soon, however, she gets a visit from Angel Jughead, who magically transports her back in time to the 1950s, to Betty’s last day of senior year in high school, which she originally missed because she was sick at the time.

Riverdale's final season has pushed its characters from their adult states back to a teenage facsimile -- only this time, they're stuck in the 1950s.
For some, the '50s were the reset they'd been hoping to see from Riverdale, which can offer fresh, campy storytelling. For others, Riverdale's foray into the '50s has fallen hopelessly flat.
Riverdale Season 5 starts with a seven-year time jump that aged all the characters from high school seniors to aimless twenty-somethings. Divulging in more mature plots and relationships that the high school years hadn't seen before, the time jump allowed the characters to continue to grow.
Riverdale Season 6 moved into the supernatural, with the season culminating in Riverdale Season 6 Episode 22, "Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen: The Night Of The Comet," wherein the residents of Riverdale were faced with a new kind of peril as a comet hurdled towards them, threatening to wipe them...

"Riverdale" is ending after seven seasons of romance, intrigue, and absolute chaos, and it's still unclear where the show's many couples will end up. Of course, the Archie comics that the series is based on center on the iconic love triangle of Archie, Veronica, and Betty, played in the series by Kj Apa, Camila Mendes, and Lili Reinhart, respectively. The television show has seemed to favor Archie with Veronica, but what does the final season hold? And could Archie's fate in the comics be a clue? Here's what we know about Archie's romantic history.
Does Archie End Up With Betty or Veronica in Archie Comics?
In the comics, Archie is forever caught in a love triangle between Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge. This who-will-he-choose model has persisted through the decades and decades of comic-book issues. But there are some answers in the pages of the original franchise.

The end is approaching for Riverdale.
The seventh and final season premieres Wednesday, March 29, on The CW, and if the first trailer is any indication, the trippy storytelling that made the first few seasons a success is making a comeback.
When Riverdale Season 6 concluded in 2022, the gang was transported back to the 1950s, which looks to be the setting for the final chapter.
In true Riverdale fashion, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) appears to be the only person who knows what's happening in this new timeline.
"We were all sent back in time," Jughead tells his friends.
"We need to get back."
However, his friends are far too interested in spending their time at school than unraveling the mysteries surrounding their lives.
"Jughead, we're juniors in high school. Life's good," Archie (Kj Apa) says.
"Why would we want to go back? ... We are not from the future!"

One reason that "Batman: The Animated Series" was and remains so beloved was how it embraced case-of-the-week storytelling. This was perfect for showcasing all the different corners and characters that make up the wild world of Gotham City. Such a large cast of characters meant that the series brought in a lot of actors; voice director Andrea Romano sought actors of all stripes for parts big and small. On the Popcorn & Shield podcast, the late Kevin Conroy (the voice of Batman) described the casting process as thus:
"They were really looking for actors, rather than just voice people. They cast a really wide net. So there were TV people, film people, stage people. Every week going in it was like going to summer camp, the people I got to work with."
Series co-creator Bruce Timm, also being interviewed, agreed with Conroy's sentiment. "Every week there was always some special, you know,...

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 1950’s. Archie Andrews (Kj Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life-lessons; Betty Cooper...

Exclusive: The CW has expanded the cast of Riverdale for the upcoming seventh and final season. Nicholas Barasch (Hadestown) and Karl Walcott (Le Chalet) have been tapped for major recurring roles on the Archie Comics series, developed and executive produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Barasch will play Julien Blossom, your classic high school red-headed bully. He’s preppy, rich, and extremely entitled. Handsome, athletic, and cocky, he always gets his way, but in the rare times he doesn’t—like with Veronica—he makes life miserable for everyone around him. He often butts heads with his twin sister, but is also an antagonist to all of our teen characters, most especially Archie.
Walcott is Clay Walker, a teen renaissance man. He is studious, artistic, well-read, and well-traveled. An Army brat, Clay comes from a loving family and is a champion for social justice. He is very open-minded in his art and his sexuality.

Actress Lili Reinhart during an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast shared some secrets about romantic scenes on ‘Riverdale’.
She explained during the interview that actors are not allowed to have French kisses on The CW shows.
“You can only be so much of an adult on a CW show, because you’re not even really allowed to kiss with tongue,” the Betty Cooper depicter said.
“That aspect of things are a little different.”
The 25-year-old star went on to divulge that she’s “excited” to portray “more diverse and complicated, messier characters” once ‘Riverdale’ eventually ends.
“I have a lot of sort of dramatic, deep roles in my future after Riverdale,” the ‘Look Both Ways’ actress added.
“Definitely roles that you have not seen me in – I’m an adult! I’m an adult woman and I’m going to start playing those more adult roles.

After six seasons and two spin-off shows, "Riverdale" has gone from being the tale of an idyllic small town with a seedy underbelly to a saga about the cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil, pitting himbo-next-door Archie Andrews and his friends against serial killers, evil nuns, cult leaders, and, most recently, warlocks from other dimensions. In that sense, the series has lived up to its promise of being "Archie Comics meets 'Twin Peaks'" in ways that nobody could have predicted when its premiered on The CW in 2017.
As the show prepares to head into its seventh and final season, "Riverdale" creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is already filling up his docket with future projects. In fact, he only just co-created HBO Max's "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin," the latest addition to the "Pretty Little Liars" property — itself a shared universe almost as deliciously outlandish and murder-happy as the Archie-verse.

It is the latest series to end at the CW after the network canceled series including Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, Naomi, Legacies, Dynasty, Charmed, Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark, and 4400.
Following the announcement of Riverdale‘s upcoming departure, the CW boss Mark Pedowitz on Thursday morning said that he thinks “seven years is the right amount”.
“I am a big believer of giving series that have had a long run an appropriate send-off. We had a long conversation with Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] yesterday and he is thrilled with the decision,” Pedowitz said. “We are going to treat the show in the manner it deserves. It’s been an iconic pop culture star and we want to make sure that it goes out the right way.

"The Wonder Twins" movie has been officially scrapped, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move comes as new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav is changing things up, post-merger. This film is a casualty of the shakeup, despite the fact that it was ripe for a comic take in live-action. Not only did "The Wonder Twins" have a writer and director in Adam Sztykiel who worked on another DC property, "Black Adam," starring Dwayne Johnson, but it had also cast the leads.

This Riverdale review contains spoilers.
Riverdale Season 6 Episode 14
“Welcome to the sad superhero club…”
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a…shirtless Archie Andrews! With its latest installment, Riverdale‘s current superhero saga proved that it isn’t afraid to liberally borrow tried and true superhero tropes in order to advance the storyline of Archie’s mighty crusaders squaring off against the increasingly diabolical (and somewhat annoyingly impervious) Percival Pickens. As a lifelong Archie Comicsfanatic, I’ll admit that it is a bit jarring to hear these characters namecheck their DC characters, but it is all in service to the grand storyline here…not to mention corporate synergy. (Warner Bros owns DC Comics and half of The CW itself).
So quicker than you can say “Berlantiverse,” this latest episode had Archie and Jughead browsing the latter’s comic collection when they stumble upon the idea that...
