Where to start with Riverdale

Three shows in one world, and the order is genuinely not release order. The spin-off set five years in the future is best watched early, and the first Sabrina crossover happens in an alternate universe rather than the main one.

  1. 1
    Riverdale, season 1 Riverdale

    Thirteen episodes, the shortest season, and a fairly straight murder mystery before the show becomes what it becomes. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, part 1 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    Slot it after Riverdale's third season. It is close to standalone, but a Riverdale character appears in its seventh chapter as a joke that only works if you know he is already dead.

  3. 3
    Katy Keene Katy Keene

    Watch it from Riverdale season four, episode twelve, which is its launch crossover. It is nominally set five years later, but that episode is the natural way in and the show was cancelled before the gap ever mattered.

Then what? Go back for the rest of Riverdale's fourth season, then five, six and seven. Two things to know: Riverdale's fifth season jumps seven years forward from its fourth episode, which quietly overtakes Katy Keene's setting, and Sabrina's first appearance on Riverdale is inside Rivervale, a five-episode alternate universe that opens the sixth season. The real crossover is later, in season six, episode nineteen.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
