So long, 90s Sabrina. Netflix’s upcoming original series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a much darker tale of the teenage witch. This isn’t the witch you grew up with. We share all the info we have on the new Netflix Original show below that drops on October 26th.

You’re probably familiar with Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She was cute, and bubbly, and had that super sarcastic cat. Forget all of that. This show will be based on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comic from Riverdale show-runner and Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.


What can we expect from the plot?

The series like its comic counterpart will take place in the 1960’s in the town of Greendale, Sabrina Spellman in the public eye leads a relatively normal life as Cheerleader and Student at Baxter High School, none of her friends and even her Boyfriend Harvey is even aware that she is a Witch. Sabrina lives with her Witch Aunts Zelda and Hilda, along with her familiar Salem and her cousin Ambrose.

As she nears her Sixteenth birthday she has to make a choice, does she become a full witch or pursue a mortal life with her Boyfriend Harvey? Unbeknowest to the Spellman family Sabrina’s father’s former flame Madam Satan is plotting revenge against the Spellman’s.

Will There be a Season 2?

When it was announced that the series had moved from Network The CW to Netflix 2 seasons had been confirmed, the first airing this year on October 26th with the Second being released sometime in 2019.  There are currently 2 volumes of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and with the first season looking to cover the very first volume.


Will there ever be a crossover with Riverdale?

Eagle eye fans will know that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Afterlife with Archie are under the same publication of comics Archie Horror. There is currently an Archie TV series called Riverdale which aires on The CW but the current iteration of Riverdale doesn’t have the same premise as Afterlife with Archie (Premise is basically Riverdale with Zombies), not to mention Sabrina takes place almost 50 years prior to the events of Riverdale so we can rule out talks of a crossover for the time being.
