The CW’s Riverdale was an unexpected hit a few years back, and since The CW have never had a hit that they haven’t tried to spin off into a franchise - voila, Katy Keene, hitting TV screens in February.

Billed as a shimmering, heartwarming teen musical comedy drama and with Lucy Hale playing the titular Katy, an aspiring fashion designer in New York, this show is mashing a lot of buttons very hard and hoping it gets a decent combo out of it.

And hey, it’s got a good shot. There’s definitely a market for the genre, and online fandom being what it is, that market is likely to go nuts for the show. The only worry is that it skews noticeably lighter and frothier than the show that spawned it - so will Riverdale nuts go for it too?
