Does Jughead Die on Season 4 of ‘Riverdale’? His Bloody Beanie Isn’t a Good Sign

“I would say that we’re really, really leaning into the fact that this is the last year this group of friends, this group of people, might be together. That’s the underlying theme, and it’s also kind of what senior year is always about.”

Roberto revealed that the events depicted in that final scene will take place halfway through the season. As for whether or not Jughead is actually dead, the executive producer kept his comments vague. 

“I can’t say anything specifically to that. All I can say is, I guess things look very dire for Jughead in that scene, for sure,” he told EW.
