The Archies, directed by Zoya Akhtar and released by streaming service Netflix, re-imagines Riverdale as an Anglo-Indian community in 1960s India, where bobby socks and sweater sets reign supreme. Idealistic, ambitious yet perpetually girl-crazy Archie Andrews (Agastya Nanda) is the frontman of his band, alongside his friends–the innocent girl-next-door Betty and the deadpan and food-driven Jughead.The Lodges, with the spoiled yet honorable Veronica in tow, return to Riverdale with big plans for the little town — a hotel complex and a whole bunch of new stores. However, the Lodges and their investors plan to build it in Green Park, taking down all the community’s beloved trees, local businesses, and history. It’s going to take everyone in Riverdale to save their town, and Archie and his friends hatch the perfect plan.In The Archies, Riverdale is the product of a happily married interracial couple in British-ruled India, creating their own little community where their family and the local populace can live in peace. The resulting community thrived well after India gained independence in 1947 — with the main cast of teenage heroes being born and raised during this pivotal moment in history. The town centers around Green Park and what it represents to the citizens of Riverdale, and the ensuing threat to its well-being makes for the heart of the story’s emotional impact. The conflict is palpable and relatable, translating clearly across cultural lines.
