A new Archie Comics series is in development at The CW. 'Jake Chang' will follow a 16-year-old Asian-American private investigator.
Riverdale has been a major hit for The CW since its debut in 2017. Although the popular series based on the Archie Comics’ universe is ending with its upcoming seventh season, it looks like the network is eager to tell more stories in this world. Reported exclusively by Deadline, The CW is developing a new Archie Comics series based on Jake Chang from writer Oanh Ly and writer/director Viet Nguyen.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Jake Chang is an Asian-American–led mystery following a 16-year-old private investigator as he navigates the racially and socioeconomically diverse worlds of his ever-gentrifying home of Chinatown, and the elite private high school he attends. The show will blend soapy teen drama with the neon noir aesthetic, all while flipping nearly every Asian stereotype—honor, martial arts, destiny, lineage, parental sacrifice—on its head.
Ly and Nguyen both expressed their excitement for the series saying, “We are so proud and honored to be a part of this new wave of Asian-American content created by and starring Asian-Americans.” They continued by saying, “The world of Jake Chang is vast, compelling, and a whole lot of fun. And just like our rascally teen detective, we’re going to lean into the ‘F U’ of the original ‘Fu Chang’ IP and delightfully destroy all familiar tropes and tell a unique Asian-American story.
