All 7 Riverdale seasons, ranked by Lili Reinhart: “We may have lost the plot”
Lili Reinhart ranked all seven seasons of Riverdale — and while she admits "we may have lost the plot," her top pick might not be the one you expect.
Asked on Capital Buzz to rank all seven seasons of Riverdale, Lili Reinhart didn’t hedge: she put them in straight chronological order — Season 1 at the top, Season 7 at the bottom — and said the show drifted far from where it started on The CW.
“I do think quite literally we may have lost the plot as time went on,”
Reinhart added that her criticism was about the storytelling, not her time on set or her co-stars.
“Not that to say I didn’t have fun doing every single one,”
Her season order
- 1. Season 1
- 2. Season 2
- 3. Season 3
- 4. Season 4
- 5. Season 5
- 6. Season 6
- 7. Season 7
Reinhart played Betty Cooper for the show’s entire run (2017–2023), starting in a noir-tinged high school murder mystery before the drama swerved into cults, superpowers, and even time travel. Over those seven seasons, Betty faced serial killers, briefly trained with the FBI, and navigated increasingly wild twists as the Archie Comics adaptation pushed into the surreal.
Reinhart was on Capital Buzz while promoting her new Prime Video rom-com The Love Hypothesis. Amazon is also developing a feature adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s Love, Theoretically, with author Colleen Hoover producing alongside Heartbones Entertainment and Magic Hour Entertainment.
