Netflix reported on August 31, 2023, that season seven had joined Netflix U.S., making the complete seven-season series available there at that time. The series finale had aired August 23, 2023. That announcement establishes past availability, not a permanent license; confirm the title is currently in your Netflix catalog. Netflix Tudum’s announcement provides the dated context.

Netflix says its ad-supported plans include commercial breaks in most shows and movies, are not available in every region, and may not work with some devices. Some titles can also be unavailable on an ad-supported plan because of licensing restrictions. Confirm that Riverdale is playable on the plan and device you intend to use. Details are in Netflix’s ads help information.
Can you buy Riverdale instead of subscribing?
The JustWatch U.S. listing also showed digital purchase options through Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango at Home, plus DVD and Blu-ray purchase routes including Amazon. These are paid alternatives, not free viewing. Prices, sellers, editions, and season availability can change; check the linked catalog listing and retailer pages for current details.
