Riverdale: Want some Bughead – season 2 news?
If you answer that question with a “yes,” odds are that you’re not alone. This relationship was one of the most unexpected gems of the first season and one that we ourselves are completely invested in at the moment. There wasn’t a lot of source material to suggest that this was coming up on the show, but the characters gelled beautifully and helped each other in some wonderful ways. Add to this the exceptional performances from Cole Sprouse (one of our personal Emmy nominees for the year and you can read more about that over at the link here) and Lili Reinhart, and you have a relationship that we’re completely invested in going into the second season of Riverdale this fall.
While things are not looking all that great for Bughead right now with him going to a different school and joining up with the serpents, don’t give up on them just yet. After all, Betty’s not going to let their love fizzle out just because of a few obstacles. Speaking on the subject to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had the following to say:
“It seems like we end on an ominous note … The fear Betty has is Jughead is going to be sucked into this world that has nothing to do with Betty — he might be going to a new school, living with a new family in a different part of town, he’s joined this gang. All I’ll tease is Betty is not someone who gives up easily. She’s probably the strongest of the kids. If she’s going to start losing Jughead, which may happen, she’s going to fight for him.”
How Jughead responds to Betty fighting for him will be what defines their relationship in the future especially since everything she’s done for him so far has lead to Jughead declaring his love for her in the Riverdale finale. It’s clear that he’s troubled, and there may be times that he’s resistant to any help that is offered to him. Yet, over time he needs to realize that this help is the best thing for him and he needs to get out of his own head. Both of these characters have something to learn about each other and themselves — they’re still young! It’s easy to forget that they are inexperienced in this world thanks in part to all of the crazy stuff they’ve experienced since the start of the series. Season 2 should be a time of learning, and hopefully also a time for them to figure out more of what they want out of their lives beyond just surviving high school.
