6 Chilling Details We Have About Netflix's New Sabrina the Teenage Witch Series

Kiernan Shipka will play the title character of Sabrina Spellman alongside Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle, Lucy Davis as Hilda Spellman, and Miranda Otto as Zelda Spellman.

Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who is also Archie Comics' chief creative officer, is writing the adaptation. He'll executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Jon Goldwater, and Lee Toland Krieger, who will direct the pilot. The show will still be a product of Warner Bros. Television-based Berlanti Productions.

The series is being described as "a dark coming-of-age tale that traffics in horror, the occult, and witchcraft." So, basically, American Horror Story: Coven-lite? According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is supposed to be a cross between Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist and will see Sabrina "wrestling to reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit."

Netflix granted a two-season, 20-episode, straight-to-series order for the Sabrina spinoff (aka two 10-episode seasons).

In April, Shipka and Lynch were spotted filming a scene in Vancouver.

In July, Archie Comics gave fans a glimpse of the artwork for the series, which features the outline of Sabrina's head and Salem's silhouette.
