Here’s how to watch the final season of ‘Riverdale’ for free

SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking streaming sites like The CW network. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £86.51 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


The final season of Riverdale begins on March 29 on The CW, with streaming available the next day on The CW app and website. If you’re based in the U.S., you can watch the show for free on The CW network. Yes, you’ll need to sit through a few adverts, but we’re sure you can manage that.

This final season will also be available to the rest of the world on Netflix, without adverts. The problem? Riverdale comes to Netflix eight days after The CW broadcasts the series finale. That’s not going to be good enough for dedicated fans of Riverdale. This bunch should turn to VPNs for a little help.

The CW network is only available in the U.S., but you can connect from anywhere in the world with a VPN. Unlike other U.S.-exclusive sites like HBO Max, you don’t need to pay anything or input personal details to watch, so you only need to change your IP address to start streaming. With a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in the U.S. This quick and easy process makes The CW think you are connecting from the U.S., meaning you can watch the final season of Riverdale for free.

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs out there, but ExpressVPN is probably the best. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, reliable customer support, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN is on sale for a limited time.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £86.51, saving you 49% on list price. This plan comes with an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your investment if you’re not totally satisfied with the service.
