This summer, just in time for Syfy‘s Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, fans will see an unexpected, jaw-dropping twist to the Sharknado saga – in Riverdale USA!
Just when Archie and the gang think they can kick back and enjoy a few months of beaches, naps and sun, they’re faced with a storm of sharknados – heading straight for their hometown of Riverdale.
Archie and his friends have to battle the incoming pop culture storm as it creeps up the “Feast” coast to Riverdale – and then try to save what’s left of their hometown. Who lives? Who dies? Read the book!
