Resting in peace won't be easy tonight when we watch the Riverdale season 5 finale online, even without cable. Archie and crew are closing the first chapter of their adult lives in their town, but more mysteries and murders await them next year.
Riverdale season 5 episode 19 is today (Wednesday, October 6) at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
This season tracked Archie (KJ Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Jughead (Cole Sprouse), Toni (Vanessa Morgan), Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) and friends after a seven-year time jump. As adults, they returned to town — with some of them teaching at the high school where they used to get into all sorts of trouble.
In the Riverdale season 5 finale, "Chapter Ninety-Five: Riverdale: RIP(?)," the gang is picking up the pieces after a long, rough year. But a fire at Pop's forces them to make a difficult decision about the future of the town.

How to watch Riverdale season 5 finale anywhere, with a VPN
Just because The CW isn't available everywhere doesn't mean you need to miss Riverdale season 5 finale. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your website or streaming service of choice and tune in.
