Lili Reinhart Thinks Betty 'Deserves A Break' In Riverdale Season 3

Riverdale's second season really aimed to test Betty's patience (and her good nature) by slamming her with one terrible situation right after another: being forced to bury Archie alive, fighting with her best companions, a short-term breakup with Jughead, Chic's disastrous appearance — the list goes on, plus it all culminated in her own father, Hal, being unmasked because the Black Hood.


Right now, because the crew enters production for Season 3, Lili Reinhart has several opinions for her girl next-door character, and so they all involve some levity.


Fortunately, the actress's "very collaborative" relationship with creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa may help her dreams for Betty come true. "I feel like I've proven myself to the people I required to prove myself to. I'm like, 'I know this girl. I really do,'" she told Bazaar.Com.


One thing Reinhart understands Betty needs is her companions. Immediately after a socially isolated Season 2, she's "very much pushing" to get more scenes with her character's (and her real-life) best companions, Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Kevin (Casey Cott).


And fans of the classic Betty and Veronica dynamic may be in luck. Reinhart teased that happier times are ahead for the small town's resident sleuth. "In the season finale, whenever you saw Betty and Jughead in bed with each other, she's smiling if he says, "Will you be my serpent queen?" [Aguirre-Sacasa] notified me, as soon as I watched that scene and I saw Betty smile, it made me want more of that,'" she said.


Reinhart agrees, telling Bazaar.Com, "I think the girl deserves a break."


this might be good news for Betty, nevertheless let's not forget that Season 2 ended with Archie (KJ Apa) being read his Miranda rights as a pair of handcuffs were slapped onto his wrists, so it sounds like the bad fortune isn't entirely gone, just transmitted to the boy next-door.
