Riverdale: “Lock and Key” Preview Released

Riverdale definitely hasn’t been pulling any punches in its fifth season, jumping forward seven years into the future with its storytelling. That has already made way for quite a lot of twists and turns so far — and now we have a look at where the story is going next. The CW has released a new trailer for “Chapter Eighty-Four: Lock and Key”, the eighth episode of the series’ fifth season. The episode is expected to include a “big announcement” that impacts everyone within the world of the series, although it’s unclear at this point exactly what that will entail. The promo also hints at the latest devious plan from Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), which seems to involve all of Riverdale’s young adults meeting up for a key party. You can check out the promo below.

The episode is also supposed to see Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) making “a big decision” about their future, something that could have a unique impact on their post-college life together.

“It’s very interesting,” Tanner previously told ComicBook.com. “The way that they go about their day is cool. There’s a lot of movie nights, there’s a little bit of drama, and nothing’s perfect. if you’ve ever lived with a couple, if you’ve ever lived with two other people, when there is drama within that, it can be hard to sort of navigate that space. Fangs wants something different out of his relationship with Kevin, and so that creates an interesting rift in the house.”
