It was reported a while back that a live-action Archie drama was in the works at the CW. Now, TVLine.com are reporting that late Friday, they ordered it to pilot. 

The series, title Riverdale, will be a present day take on the famous Archie Comics characters and is said to be a new and subversive take. It will explore the strange happens underneath the small town's wholesome facade. 

Aside from being produced by Arrow/Flash's Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, and penned by Supergirl's Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, there was no other news pretaining to Riverdale. However, along with it, the CW also ordered pilots for Transylvania, No Tomorrow, and a yet to be named Mars show.

Hopefully they keep the stoner part of the comic. It would be great if the show was very colorful and when you watch it, you feel like you're under the influence.
