The KATY KEENE Spinoff Series to Be Set Years After RIVERDALE

Riverdale is getting a spinoff called Katy Keene, and according to The CW’s Mark Pedowitz, the new show will take place years after the original:

"Katy Keene actually takes place years after #Riverdale, and if any of those characters were to come to #KatyKeene, they'd come as their older selves" - Mark Pedowitz dropping some spoilers. #TCA19

This creates an interesting dynamic with the core show. This is Riverdale’s second spinoff, and it is preventing any real crossover potential. I guess they could always introduce time travel in Riverdale (makes as much sense as anything else I hear about the show), but Pedowitz did say that the other characters would have to be their older selves, which really minimizes the possibilities of a crossover.

What do you think of this development for Katy Keene?
