'Riverdale' Season 3: Episode 2 name and synopsis hint Archie's future might be in jeopardy

CW has now revealed the official synopsis for "Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fortune and Men’s Eyes" - aka the second episode of Riverdale's upcoming third season, set to air on October 17

Considering that the new season of 'Riverdale' is coming out right at the time for Halloween, there's a high chance for the show to turn into a full-fledged horror, and not just the noir detective teen-drama it has been dabbling with so far.

This was established further by showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who recently shared a creepy new image of what has been dubbed as the 'Gargoyle King' - a new antagonist in the upcoming season, and which could potentially be a literal monster.

Yet that isn't the only horrifying aspect of the upcoming season.

As the premiere draws nearer, CW has now revealed the official synopsis for "Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fortune and Men’s Eyes" - aka the second episode of Riverdale's upcoming third season, set to air on October 17.
