"The New Archies" is an American animated television series that originally aired from September 12, 1987, until December 5, 1987, on NBC. The series was developed by DIC Animation City in association with Archie Comics, reimagining the classic Archie characters as pre-teens in a contemporary setting for the late 1980s.

The series narrative follows young versions of Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, and their friends as they navigate junior high school life in Riverdale. Unlike the traditional comic portrayals of older teenagers, "The New Archies" presents the characters as middle school students dealing with everyday challenges such as friendships, rivalries, school events, and lighthearted mischief. Despite the updated setting and youthful redesigns, the core personalities remain intact—Archie’s earnest nature, Betty’s kindness, Veronica’s confidence, and Jughead’s laid-back humor continue to drive the stories.

The show emphasized comedic, self-contained episodes with moral lessons and relatable situations for younger audiences, reflecting the tone of many Saturday morning cartoons of its era. While its run was brief, consisting of a single season, "The New Archies" remains a notable reinterpretation of the Archie franchise, standing apart from earlier adaptations like The Archie Show by shifting the characters to a younger age group and a more modernized 1980s environment.
