Lili Reinhart is opening up about Riverdale coming to an end after seven seasons and giving her take on viral clips of the show that showcase the “absurdity” of the storylines.
In an interview before the SAG-AFTRA strike and after wrapping up filming for the show, Reinhart and her fellow cast members talked to Vulture about the series.

Riverdale was a dark take on Archie Comics but at the same time, it dared to be campy. Many social media users have clipped scenes from the series and shared them online and Reinhart says it’s not always fun reading people’s reactions to the show.

Reinhart also recalled the moment she auditioned for the show saying, “I had just signed a lease by myself in L.A., and I was terrified because I couldn’t afford it. This was my second time moving there to try and make it work, and I had no money and no job.”
She continued, “I remember after my final audition, I was on
