Disney+ has given a series order to “Afterlife with Archie,” adapting the horror Archie comic series. Multiple outlets report the show is based on the comic work of writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Francesco Francavilla, with the creative team behind “Riverdale” set to reunite for the live-action adaptation. Hollywood Reporter and other sources indicate Aguirre-Sacasa is adapting the comic, while Greg Berlanti executive produces. Variety adds that the project had been in reported development at Disney+ before the formal greenlight, including an earlier script-to-series commitment. Deadline further reports the series is planned as an hourlong drama. The streamer is targeting a Halloween 2027 premiere, and at least some coverage frames the release as a potential around-the-holiday launch. Overall, the announced status is a Disney+ order for the series, with key producers and the comic’s creators attached, and a projected premiere window set for late 2027. No additional cast details or production timeline beyond the premiere estimate were included in the provided summaries.
