Veronica Lodge RIVERDALE ODD FACTS The series is inspired by the original comics which date back to 1939. This is why the style of the protagonists may look a bit old-fashioned. The episodes are filmed in Vancouver, Canada but people think that it's set near New York because of the cold weather, woodlands and small towns typical of New England. The actor who plays Archie is KJ Apa from New Zealand. His red hair has made him popular but he is not a redhead, he just had his hair dyed for the series.
