Riverdale is always released on Netflix US – as well as other countries – as part of a ten year old legacy agreement between the CW and Netflix, which has turned out mutually beneficial for both parties. However, this means that all episodes of Riverdale Season 7 will drop simultaneously after it has finished airing in full on the CW.
But don’t fret, as we likely won’t have to wait long. Since Season 7 of Riverdale ended on August 23, 2023, it seems likely that the season will appear on Netflix US around a week or so later, meaning at the beginning of September, 2023.
