Netflix has found its Harvey Kinkle! Ross Lynch has been cast in the role in the upcoming Netflix series, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Lynch will be the male lead opposite Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina.
Based on the Archie Comics graphic novel The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the series reimagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Shipka) as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit. Lynch will play Harvey Kinkle, Sabrina’s (Shipka) boyfriend. The prince charming of this dark fairy tale, Harvey is the son of a coal miner, a dreamboat and a dreamer, completely unaware of the dark forces conspiring to keep him and Sabrina apart.
Lynch, who is probably most known for his role on Austin & Ally, is coming off a pretty good streak as of late. He received rave reviews for playing Jeffrey Dahmer in Dahmer’s younger years in FilmRise’s My Friend Dahmer.
