Visionary showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had big plans for the last Riverdale season
The season started with everyone being in the 50s, and RAS wanted to jump 10 years ahead every few episode
“one of the ideas that we pitched was that the first 13 episodes would be in the ’50s, and then starting around Episode 14 or so, we would start moving in time. So Episode 14 would be set in the ’60s, Episode 15 would be set in the ’70s, and then the ’80s, the ’90s… kind of working through to the present day.”
alas, the CW has no money and for budget reasons they stayed in the 50s for the whole season
