Netflix has released the teaser trailer for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and this is not the teenage witch we came to love from back in the day. This version looks downright spooky.
Based on the series of comic books by showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Robert Hack, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina reimagines the teen witch’s upbringing as a pitch-dark journey, pitting Sabrina (played by Mad Men‘s Kiernan Shipka) against all manner of unholy enemies, from everyday bullies… to the devil himself.
The series also stars Miranda Otto (Homeland) as Zelda Spellman, Sabrina’s “serious” aunt; Lucy Davis (Better Things) as Hilda Spellman, the “fun” aunt; Ross Lynch (Austin & Ally) as Harvey Kinkle, Sabrina’s mortal boyfriend; newcomer Chance Perdomo as Ambrose, Sabrina’s pansexual warlock cousin; Jaz Sinclair (The Vampire Diaries) as Rosalind Walker, Sabrina’s BFF and the mayor’s daughter; Michelle Gomez (Doctor Who) as Mary Wardell, Sabrina’s teacher who becomes possessed by “Madam Satan”; Tati Gabrielle (The 100) as Prudence, Sabrina’s rival at the Academy of the Unseen Arts; and Richard Coyle (Covert Affairs) as Father Blackwood, the mysterious High Priest of the Church of Night.
By the way, this series has already been renewed for a second season so Netflix must have a lot of faith in the project. The series begins streaming on October 26. Check out the promotional art for the show below.
