Why Isn’t ‘Riverdale’ On Tonight? Season 3, Episode 18 Release Date Revealed

Betty’s (Lili Reinhart) takedown of The Farm is going to have to wait a little while because “Riverdale” is going on a short break.

While there isn’t a new episode of the CW drama airing tonight, or any episode as a repeat showing of “Jane the Virgin” will be on, “Riverdale” comes back in just two weeks on April 17.

Season 3, episode 18, titled ”Chapter Fifty-Three: Jawbreaker,” will give Varchie fans some hope as Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Archie (KJ Apa) reconnect while he trains for another boxing match. Plus, Betty’s fight to protect her family causes her to up the ante and threaten Evelyn (Zoé De Grand Maison).

“I will kill you,” she says in the episode promo.

Check out the full synopsis of what’s to come in the new “Riverdale” broadcast coming soon:

“When a tainted batch of fizzle rocks makes its way through Riverdale, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and FP (Skeet Ulrich) set out to find who’s responsible. After asking Veronica to help get him into an upcoming boxing tournament, Archie quickly learns he may be in over his head. Elsewhere, Betty makes one last attempt to rescue Alice (Madchen Amick) from The Farm’s grip, and Toni (Vanessa Morgan) becomes unsettled by a sudden change in Cheryl’s (Madelaine Petsch) behavior.”

Gabriel Correa directed the episode, which was written by Brian E. Patterson and Arabella Anderson.

Catch Season 3, episode 18 of “Riverdale” on The CW on its release date of April 17 at 8 p.m. EDT.
