‘Riverdale’
Will Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) manage to make things work in “Riverdale” Season 2? The CW

“Riverdale” Season 2 couple Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) will struggle in the upcoming episodes, but this does not mean they won’t fight for their relationship.

On Saturday, “Riverdale” executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared a photo of the onscreen couple via his Instagram account. In the snap, Jughead and Betty are wearing matching ensembles. Betty has on a navy blue jumper over a light-colored v-neck t-shirt. Jughead, on the other hand, is wearing a navy blue polo shirt on top of a white undershirt. He is also wearing black pants.

Aguirre-Sacasa captioned the snap by saying that he loves Reinhart and Sprouse because they are both very hardworking and have been doing an incredible job on set. But the last line in his caption seems to hint at their relationship struggles in Season 2, stating that the two characters are “making it work.”

In May, Aguirre-Sacasa spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and said that the couple will stay together in Season 2, but things won’t be as easy for them as it was in Season 1.

“They’re still very much together in season two, but as we saw in the finale Jughead is setting off on a different path. He’s going to a different school, living in a different area of town. Perhaps most significantly, it seems like he’s joining the Southside Serpents. I think that will create obvious tension with Betty, assuming he tells her. There’s a chance Jughead will be trying to live a double life, one with Betty and one with the Serpents. That is absolutely a big story we’re telling with Betty and Jughead in season two,” he said.

Aguirre-Sacasa also acknowledged the fact that Jughead seems to fit better in Southside High than in Riverdale High. “At Riverdale High, Jughead always slipped through the cracks and is considered a problem student. At Southside High, everything is the opposite. Jughead is not lost in the system – a teacher starts mentoring him, he discovers people who are a lot like him. He finds his tribe there, 100 percent” he said.

“Riverdale” Season 2 will premiere on The CW on Oct. 11 at 9 p.m. EDT.
