According to distractify.com, the first few episodes on Riverdale are not going to look any different. But after a few episodes, the viewers will see the biggest jump in time the series has ever had. Whereas some seasons have already jumped several months in time, most of Season 5 will take place seven years into the future. That means that all of the Riverdale High teens will be adults and so much closer in age to the actors who play them in real life.
