Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been a really busy man for a few years now; among the many pile of hats he’s at the moment carrying embrace the chief producer caps of each Riverdale and the Pretty Little Liars spin-off Original Sin. Now he has used his horrible energy to smash the 2 TV universes collectively to type one.

In the latest episode of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, the brand new technology of handsome liars went to Rosewood, dwelling of the OG liars, solely to find the inhabitants of Rosewood’s Radley Sanitarium had been “sent to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy over in Riverdale” as soon as it was changed into a lodge. That’s unhealthy information for the sufferers, because the nuns there have been drug sellers who ultimately dedicated mass suicide, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a reasonably definitive connection between the 2 exhibits. As Aguirre-Sacasa informed TV Line:

“We kind of just wrote that line in. I assumed that we wouldn’t be allowed to reference Riverdale, since it’s in a completely different universe, but it stayed in. So, yeah, I guess it does exist in the same universe. … That was obviously just a fun Easter egg in an episode with the biggest Easter egg of them all, which is going to Rosewood.”

Full disclosure: I’ve seen each minute of the primary Pretty Little Liars tv collection, having been promised sinister, soapy, ridiculous delights. Those ended up being few and really far between, however Riverdale ended up delivering all the pieces I had hoped PLL would supply and extra. (So, so, so rather more.) Honestly, when you added up all of the twists, turns, and insanity of a complete season of Pretty Little Liars, it might most likely equal an episode and a half of Riverdale. All I’m saying is that Original Sin needs to be honored to be part of the Riverdale-verse, and if the present will get in the way in which of a really offended Jughead being caught within the ‘50s I will never forgive it.
