Archie Andrews appears to have died in the latest episode of Riverdale Season 3 leaving fans to worry if KJ Apa is leaving Riverdale. Read on to know what happened to Archie Andrews on Riverdale and find out if Archie Andrews is leaving Riverdale for good.

Is Archie Andrews dead on Riverdale?

Riverdale's mid-season premiere returned on January 17, 2019 and ended with one of the biggest cliffhangers in the show's history.

In the incredibly eventful episode, we saw Archie wounded after a grizzly bear attack. While he's waiting for help to show up, he starts hallucinating that he's on his personal Gryphons and Gargoyles quest. In his final round, he enters his bedroom at home and kills a sleeping Archie from the past. At the very end of the episode, we see Archie lying in a pool of his blood with eyes wide open. And he looked very much dead!

We can't help but wonder if KJ Apa, who plays Archie Andrews on Riverdale, is leaving the show for good.

Is KJ Apa leaving Riverdale?

It may seem that Archie Andrews is gone for good at the moment but don't forget that this is Riverdale after all. The writers wrote a similar cliffhanger in the previous season where fans saw a bloodied Jughead being carried in his father's arms. He turned out to be just fine! Fangs also took a bullet and is now apparently going undercover with the Gargoyle gang. So we're not that worried!

Besides, KJ Apa has been spotted on set numerous times since filming this episode. We can also see Archie Andrews being featured in the trailer for Season 3B, so rest assured that your favorite ginger is returning to town very soon.
