The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

[Slick]

Darker than Archie vs. Predator?

Just downloaded it from the ComiXology app. Will read after I finish Sabrina.

 

[Sawyer]

Really excited for this show but is this still set in the same universe as Riverdale ?

Being on Netflix now I assume they will keep the universes seperate but that's not guaranteed.

If this were Riverdale airing on The CW and Sabrina airing on, like... FOX, I would feel reasonably sure there'd be no crossover possibility. But Netflix being a streamer that has Riverdale on their streaming service, and a deal with The CW, has me thinking it could be done.

Casting breakdowns

Sabringa Spellman - Female, Open ethnicity, legal 18 or 18+ to play 16. Sabrina is an empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, struggling to reconcile her dual natures. She is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain some semblance of a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Sabrina’s intelligent, compassionate, and brave to the point of recklessness. She challenges witch-doctrine at every turn. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends; wickedly funny; and in the middle of a star-crossed romance with her classmate Harvey Kinkle. Sabrina is all that stands between us and the Forces of Darkness that threaten our world. SERIES LEAD.

Hilda Spellman - Female, late 30s to early 40s, All Ethnicities. Hilda is the kinder of the Spellman sisters who are raising Sabrina, though her nurturing nature belies a more ruthless side. She is a healer, a potion-maker, sweet-as-pie until you cross her or anyone she leaves. Operating the local funeral home, the sisters hide their witchery from the world while teaching Sabrina spells and incantations at home...SERIES REGULAR

Zelda Spellman - Female, late 30s to early 40s, All Ethnicities. Zelda is the harsher of the Spellman sisters who helped raise Sabrina, though her sternness and tough facade might be hiding a more...mothering soul. Unlike Hilda, Zelda claims that she has never known love—her devotion to the Dark Lord is all-consuming—which is why people looking for a love-potion go to Hilda; those looking to make a spite-jar go to Zelda...SERIES REGULAR

Ambrose Spellman - Male, early 20s, African American or East Indian, British. Ambrose is Sabrina’s “cousin” and a necromancer. He is witty, puckish, pan-sexual—and loves being a witch. Trapped in the funeral home due to a binding spell, Ambrose lives in the mortuary’s attic and acts as one of Sabrina’s partners in crime...SERIES REGULAR

Interesting that the cousin is the only one that has to be a POC. Whoever they cast as Sabrina though I need her to be blonde.

 

[terry78]

Pansexual, lol Making sure they check all the boxes ain't they?

 

[Sithborg]

They aren't going to make that Ambrose into the series Salem, are they?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Ambrose is in the comics if memory is correct. Since Salem is a cat, I dont think they will release a cast breakdown for him since anyone can apply lol.

The good thing about this going to Netflix is that they don’t have to dumb it down from the content in the book. At least I hope they don’t.

 

[Sawyer]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kiernan Shipka!

 

[Slick]

Freaking nice casting.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Im indifferent to this. I like her but I don't really see her as Sabrina. But here's hoping she does great, cant wait for the show!

 

[Fincher]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kiernan Shipka!

This response can be interpreted two different ways.

I'm not familiar with her, so...okay.

[Marvolo]

She was good on Mad Men and she's a blonde. Seems like good casting to me.

 

[Primal Slayer]

 

[Gee]

 

[X Knight]

don't know anything of the actress, never seen her before.

but she's cute, blonde, and I can see her in the part of Sabrina.

so......yay??

just not a fan of this being on Netflix, which makes it harder for me to watch.

 

[Sithborg]

Good to hear the news. Don't really know her, but she looks fine.

Dream come true! Dream #Sabrina! So excited to make magic with this lady!

 

[Ozbridge]

I've only seen her in Flower in the Attic. It was a couple of years ago so I don't remember how her acting was but the show (which was adapted from the first book of a series) was so f**ked up.

 

[terry78]

That Archie's Madhouse cover is horrifying.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder who will play her aunts? And Salem. Salem is so important

 

[Sawyer]

I think it'll probably mirror Riverdale where the casting of the aunts is concerned. Teen movie/TV idols of decade's past (Luke Perry, Molly Ringwald) or an actor from one of the show's key inspirations (Madchen Amick getting her start on Twin Peaks)... now, given that the stated inspirations here seem to be films like Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, I doubt any of those film's stars are in the right age range. But there's a lot of 90s teen and/or horror stuff that could qualify. Actresses from The Craft, Buffy, etc.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano!

 

[Sawyer]

Didn't they hate eachother?

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Like i said Christina Ricci ain’t got no job!!!!! Get her!!
