Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa confirms viewers haven't seen the last of Agent Drake and teases what lies ahead for her relationship with Betty: 'Even if Betty wouldn’t entertain it seriously, it would resonate with Betty.'
Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa talks about the dynamic between Betty and Agent Drake. The series is currently airing its sixth season on The CW, with four more episodes before the season finale on July 31. Riverdale has already been renewed by the network for season 7, and it will be its last; it is expected that the final episodes will arrive in 2023.
Riverdale follows an ensemble of characters based on Archie Comics as they contend with the dark and evil underbelly of the titular town, which occasionally veers into the paranormal. Agent Drake was introduced in Riverdale season 6 as an FBI agent that helps Betty with her ability to see the auras of malicious people.
We haven’t seen the last of Agent Drake, but we’re very protective of Betty and Archie. We love the weird, wild curveball complication of Agent Drake saying, “I’m attracted to you.” We certainly didn’t want to compromise or create drama where there was no drama to create. But that felt real, in terms of, “I don’t have to worry about my darkness with [Drake] the way I do with Archie.” Even if Betty wouldn’t entertain it seriously, it would resonate with Betty.
Riverdale has received criticism in the past for queerbaiting its characters, or where they're hinted at having queer feelings that are never explicitly stated, thus misrepresenting the queer community. Betty's relationship with Veronica in Riverdale is often cited as an example of the practice; for example, they share a kiss in the pilot, but it's played as a provocative moment meant to get them attention.
The entertainment industry has had a bad habit in recent years of paying lip service to queer representation while minimizing it in practice in a bizarre and ultimately futile effort to not alienate anyone, which as a result makes queer representation feel like an obligation rather than the progressive ideal it should be.
