Riverdale season 3 is about the wrap up on The CW and its Netflix release schedule has been finalized. We’ve got everything you need to know about when you’ll be streaming season 3 of Riverdale on Netflix. Here’s the season 3 release schedule for The CW’s Riverdale in 2019.
In case you missed it, Riverdale has quickly become the biggest show around. Its popularity has spiked through the roof since the first season released and season 2 pushed its popularity through the stratosphere. As a result, coverage of season 3 has been plentiful.
Production has begun and has quite a quick turnaround to be ready for its fall release date on The CW. It’s once again expected to have 22-episodes and the majority of the cast will return. There are questions about whether Archie will get out of prison, new romances in the air and it’s likely a new mystery will take hold as Black Hood has finally been revealed.

Let’s start off with when it’ll start airing on its home channel. New episodes are scheduled to start airing on The CW from October 10th, 2018. That means new episodes air on Wednesdays. The release date is almost exactly the same as season 2.
When will Riverdale season 3 be on Netflix in the US?
The United States gets the new season slightly after the season has finished.
The CW’s contract with Netflix in the US brings new titles (and will continue to in 2019) anywhere from a week up to three weeks after the finale airs to Netflix.
The final episode (episode 22) of Riverdale season 3 is currently expected to air on The CW on May 15th, 2019.
It’s now been confirmed that all episodes of Riverdale season 3 will be made available on Netflix in the United States on May 23rd, 2019.
Can’t wait until next year for its Netflix release but don’t have cable? Your best bet will be through The CW application and website. It’s free but is ad-supported. Hulu won’t be showing Riverdale this year nor can you find the series on the likes of Amazon Prime.
