Riverdale Season 2 typically airs every Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. EST on The CW. But can you watch new episodes live in Canada?

Yes. In Canada, it's possible to watch new episodes live if you get The CW with your cable package, according to this Reddit thread. Rogers customers can watch on channel 166, and Bell customers can watch on channel 297. New episodes of Riverdale will also stream in Canada on Netflix the day after the episode airs.


However, fans tuning in to watch tonight's episode will find there will not be a new episode airing tonight. In fact, there will be no new episodes of the popular teen series for the rest of the month. Why? The Winter Olympics, as Fansided points out. The 2018 games air until February 25 and pretty much take over television throughout. It would be risky for The CW to air a new episode against The Olympics because they may lose viewership during a popular event.

Riverdale is not the only series taking a hiatus. Some other fan-favorites include This Is Us(returns Feb. 27) and The Big Bang Theory(returns March 1).

Popculture put together a list of shows and their return dates, and they even include series premieres. The new episode of Riverdale will air on March 7 at its usual time (8:00 p.m. EST). According to The CW's website, the last episode to air was Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tell Tale Heart. I won't give away any spoilers, but it does involve a series cover-up that weighs on Betty's conscience. Fansided put together a great play-by-play of the last episode, if you need a refresher.

So fear not, my fellow Canadians. You can, in fact, watch new episodes of Riverdale Season 2, as soon as its back on the air.

In the meantime, if you need a pick-me-up while you wait for new episodes, you can always read these hilarious tweets about the season premiere via Buzzfeed.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.

A preliminary estimate shows the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of Trump’s second term, a sharp contrast to the 2.4% GDP growth recorded during Joe Biden’s final quarter in office.
