Riverdale Season 2 midseason finale revealed school Janitor Joesph Svenson as the Black Hood murderer. However, there is more to what meets the eye. The mystery may not be over yet and the Black Hood may return.
In a recent post on Twitter, Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa may have teased the return of Black Hood. He might have confirmed a fan theory suggesting that Black Hood is not dead and Riverdale’s serial killer might still be out there.
“If the Black Hood is dead, then who the hell is upstairs? HINT: It ain’t Chic. 15 days to a new ep of #Riverdale…,” Aguirre-Sacasa wrote on Twitter.
For who don’t know, the showrunner is referring to Chic Cooper, Betty’s long-lost brother, the character to be introduced in the second half of Riverdale Season 2. Actor Hart Denton will be playing the role.
In the midseason finale “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” Sheriff Keller shot the masked man and unmasked him to find out that he is Riverdale High janitor. He is said to be responsible for shooting Archie’s father, Miss Grundy and a few teenagers. It was also revealed that Svenson lost his entire family during a mass shooting by a Riverdale Reaper. However, he supposedly blamed the wrong person for the massacre and he couldn’t handle the burden of the guilt which is why he committed a few murders to rid Riverdale of the sinners.
However, fans were not too convinced with the end of the mystery. Several theories on the internet suggested that the Black Hood is still alive and he will reappear. The real Black Hood may still be out there.
Fans will have to wait for another fifteen days to find out what is happening in Riverdale. Meanwhile, as reported earlier, the remaining episodes of Season 2 will focus on what is happening in the school. Also, it will delve deeper into relationships and the teenager’s friendships.
Riverdale Season 2 returns Jan. 17 with episode 10 titled “Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blackboard Jungle” on The CW. Keep visiting Pursue News, more information and updates are expected soon.
