Looks like Riverdale will soon have bigger problems than just Jingle-Jangle and the Gargoyle King. Disney+ is developing a new hour-long horror series based on Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla‘s zombie comic Afterlife With Archie.
According to Deadline, which first reported the news, the project has received a script-to-series commitment and comes from Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti‘s Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television, where both Aguirre-Sacasa and Berlanti are under overall deals.
