RIVERDALE bosses have teased the end for Archie in an image forecasting his potential fate.

Show boss Roberto Aguirre Sacasa, who has written episodes 79 and 80 of the popular series, teased their content on his Twitter page – and the post certainly got fans talking.

Fans believe the end may be in store for Riverdale’s Archie after the show boss posted a teasing image showing him in heaven wearing an army uniform[/caption]

He added the teasing caption: “The #Riverdale Players Theatre continues with our next two table reads today via Zoom!!

“As we say goodbye to high school and hello to…???”

Viewers already know the show will take a leap forward in time, and perhaps even pass over all the weeks and years Archie and his friends attend separate colleges.

Yet Roberto’s episode 80, entitled Purgatory, could suggest Archie won’t make a comeback at all.

A cartoon image on the front of the script shows people surrounding a gravestone and the haunting image of a man, looking suspiciously like Archie, in army uniform hovering above in the heavens.

Fans have speculated this could mean the end for actor KJ Apa’s character, who had contemplated joining the Naval Academy after his graduation.

One loyal Riverdale fan took to Twitter to bluntly write: “DON’T HURT ARCHIE.”

Another posted: “I see Archie dead.”

One CW show viewer took a different stance and replied: “Don’t tease us with killing off Archie. That gets most Riverdale fans way too excited.”

Meanwhile New Zealand born KJ suffered a painful scenario in real life, too, as a metal shard ‘punctured’ his left eye.

The 23-year-old CW star had friends help him retrieve the fragment and recorded the whole “horrible” experience.

The two-minute clip jumped right into KJ’s friend and celebrity groomer Jason Schneidman trying to get the metal piece out of the actor’s eye, though it’s unclear how it ended up there to start with.
