The fifth season of Riverdale is finally on its way to screens after its chaotic midseason finale at the end of March. A new trailer for the back half of the current instalment on the CW may have teased another look at Dark Betty (played by Lili Reinhart) as the gang prepare to take down Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) once and for all.

Betty Cooper and the rest of the Riverdale gang are ready to wage war in the exciting new teaser for the second half of season five.

Following several months of hiatus, the CW’s bafflingly entertaining young adult drama will return for its midseason premiere on Wednesday, August 11.

The series has taken a supernatural turn as of late, with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) apparently missing after a close encounter with a UFO led to a bad drug trip in the midst of writing his next novel.

Meanwhile, the new trailer has revealed a closer look at the mysterious Moth Men plaguing the town whilst Hiram’s schemes are getting out of control.

Several lines in the new footage seem to suggest time is finally up for Hiram once Archie (KJ Apa) and co. catch wind of his plans to buy out Blossom Maple Groves from Cheryl (Madeline Petsch).

At one point, Hiram warns Archie to watch his back, which the star quarterback-turned-volunteer firefighter doesn’t take lightly.

After a shot of Hiram pulling the trigger on an unknown victim, Archie lets us know he’s determined to make him pay for his crimes.

“I don’t want this scumbag arrested,” he says. “I want him hurt.”

Later on, an exchange between Alice Cooper (Mädchen Amick) and her daughter suggests Betty might be the one to do the hurting.

Alice asks her: “Why don’t you just kill him, Betty? Kill that monster.”

The trailer then cuts to a shot of Betty in a leather jacket retrieving a chainsaw and looking more than ready to put it to use.

Riverdale’s latest teaser had fans in a frenzy as they predicted a return to Betty’s dark side briefly witnessed in previous seasons.

The third season of the series revealed Betty had inherited a ‘serial killer gene’ from her father, Hal Cooper (Lochlyn Munro), aka the Black Hood.

Her latent killer instincts could be coming out to play once again in the upcoming episodes, and Hiram could very well be her first target.

When the trailer was released on YouTube, one commenter said: “5B is going to be amazing.

“I hope Hiram will finally leave. Dark Betty is what I need.”

While a fan on Twitter proposed: “Rightt in the trailer Archie saying he wants to hurt Hiram instead of just getting him arrested.

“Followed by Betty bringing up a chainsaw to hurt the person who hurt Polly.”

Betty’s sister Polly (Tiera Skovbye) is still missing and presumed dead and the new trailer seems to suggest the Coopers now know who did it.

Could Hiram have something to do with her sudden disappearance?

Riverdale season 5 will return on Wednesday, August 11 on the CW in the US and the following Thursday on Netflix.
