Visually, it was one of Riverdale‘s stand-out moments, and – although gruesome – it was hard to look away. It may be even harder for you to re-watch, though, after the revelation that actor KJ Apa really did break his hand during filming – but he didn’t tell anyone.
It appears that Apa had indeed let the cat out of the bag back in April, but only afterward did people start to put two and two together:

The star was also recently at MCM London, where he revealed that season one might not have always ended with the cliffhanger we got…
“We actually had a completely different ending while we were shooting,” he admitted, before adding “actually, only me and Luke [Perry] got sent the ending the night before we actually shot that scene. Me and Luke sat down, we had a chat about it and we spoke to the writers and kind of just got it done. No one else actually knew about it except us at that time.”
Reasons for having a different ending in place could range from limiting leaks, to uncertainty about renewal during filming – writers will occasionally set out a final episode that ties up the plot, rather than dropping a major cliffhanger at the end of a season, which can frustrate upset fans even further.
