A new “Characters” teaser for “Riverdale” Season 1 will give viewers more insight on the lead characters’ true personalities.

The short clip released by The CW opens with Lili Reinhart’s Betty looking straight into the camera. K.J. Apa, who plays the role of Archie, wears his signature blue and yellow jacket. Josie (Ashleigh Murray), who sings with her band, holds a microphone while on stage. Veronica (Camila Mendes) is lying down and wearing several huge pearl necklaces on her neck. Cole Sprouse’s character, Jughead, has a mysterious look on his face. All the simple gestures, costumes and props reflect each of the character’s personalities.

For instance, Jughead narrates the events that are taking place in Riverdale. He is a good writer, but he is extremely quiet, aloof and observant. Betty is a decent woman who is madly in love with Archie. The latter is like Riverdale High School’s resident jock – good looking and handsome. Veronica comes from a well-off family that can afford pearls and all sorts of jewelries.

Meanwhile, other than these characters, Kevin (Casey Cott) will also have an interesting storyline in “Riverdale” Season 1, episode 4. While speaking with Ksite TV, showrunner Robert Aguirre-Sacasa confirmed that Kevin will have a new love interest in the show. “In the first few episodes, Kevin is more of a sidekick to Betty and Veronica, but he’s a good friend to them. But from episode 4 on, he starts a romance, and that kind of also ties him to the mystery in an unexpected way,” he said.

Additionally, Betty’s sister, Polly (Tierra Skovbye) will be introduced in episode 6. Reggie (Ross Butler) has a huge story that’s tied to his character in the finale.

“Riverdale” Season 1 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on The CW.
