Will there be zombies like in the comics?
And Sabrina?
shareNo zombies... as of yet. They've said there are plans to expand the universe and that there's room for all sorts of things, but as far as we know, "Riverdale" will be teen-mystery-drama and not supernatural.
“Some people don’t even know that Sabrina is in the Archie family,” said Aguirre-Sacasa at the Television Critics Association panel (via EW). “There is absolutely a universe where Sabrina pops up in Riverdale or one town over in Greendale. Certainly, the priority is launching Riverdale and making sure that show is as good as it can be and as embraced as we want it to be. I’ll just tease that Sabrina has potential with a capital P.”
There was, at one point, talk of Halloween specials that would use "Afterlife..." as a template, but that was possibly when it was going to be on FOX. They haven't mentioned anything since the pilot went into production.

Roberto did mention once since the CW move about possible Halloween specials, but just in passing and not as firmly as it sounded as when the show was at FOX. I do hope it'll launch a Sabrina spin-off though. If PLL can do a supernatural spin-off this show can do it too.

"No! He is imprinted on you like a gay duckling. If you don't wean him off you slowly, he'll die."
That's a pity he didn't expand on it more; I loved the idea of them doing full-on Halloween specials separate from the regular continuity. I'm glad it's still on the table, though, I guess; it was ages ago the last time I heard it mentioned.
