Archie Returns to Television

The 2D animated show, “It’s Archie,” will feature the well-known characters as 12-year-olds in their hometown of Riverdale.

“These wonderful kids of ‘It’s Archie’ are a bit younger than we’ve ever seen them before, but possessed with the same basic personalities that have endeared them since their introduction in the Archie Comics over 70 years ago,” says Mike Young, chief executive officer, Moonscoop.  

Season one of “It’s Archie” will have 52 11-minute episodes and will be offered at MIPJunior and MIPCOM Oct. 5-10 in Cannes, France.
