It’s been a little over a month since the long-awaited return of Riverdale, after the series was forced to go on a break for much of last year due to circumstances surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the show’s fifth season is currently in full swing, preparing to air its sixth episode this week, it sounds like the series will soon have another lengthy hiatus. On Wednesday, The CW announced its spring 2021 premiere schedule, providing an indication of when shows like Legends of Tomorrow, Kung Fu, and The Republic of Sarah. will make their debut. In the process, the network confirmed that Riverdale will be taking a pre-planned three-month hiatus later this year, from April 7th through July 7th of this year. Kung Fu will be taking over Riverdale’s usual time slot in that stretch of time, followed by new episodes of Nancy Drew through June 2nd, and In the Dark beginning June 9th.
