SEASON five of Riverdale is set to premiere on January 20 on the CW - and viewers can't wait to see what Archie and the gang will be up to next.

Fans are making their own predictions ahead of the latest season's premiere and if Jughead and Betty Cooper’s romance lives through.

Are Jughead and Betty Cooper still together in Riverdale?

After season 4’s abrupt ending due to the coronavirus pandemic, the last few episodes saw Jughead and Betty Cooper’s love slowly dwindling.

It is unclear if they will rekindle their romance in season 5 but it is believed that Jughead will have a new love interest reportedly named Jessica who is looming over and waiting to be charmed by him.

As Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Archie advance in high school, the plot is reportedly changing to reflect them entering adulthood.

Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty in the series confessed to Jimmy Fallon that the show will feature a “seven-year time jump into the future.”

The actress added: “So we’re not going to be teenagers anymore,” she added. “I think it will be nice to play an adult. But I also really appreciate that Roberto, our showrunner, was like, ‘Yeah, let’s, like, revamp.’ We’re not just stuck in high school for seven seasons.”

Did Jughead and Betty Cooper date in real life?

Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse (Jughead) dated in real life on and off for three years before splitting up last year.

A source told Page Six: “Cole and Lili split before the pandemic hit, and have been quarantining separately.

"They remain good friends."

Lili said the pandemic has helped her reflect on everything that’s happened and check in with her mental health.

After their split, Lili came out as a "proud bisexual woman" on June 3.

She shared the personal note with fans on social media on the third day of Pride Month writing: “Although I’ve never announced it publicly before, I am a proud bisexual woman.

“And I will be joining this protest today. Come join.”
