“Riverdale” Spinoff will be a reboot for “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”

A new Riverdale spinoff will focus on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

The new spinoff is in the works by CW and WB. The two are developing The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina as a witch-centric Riverdale spinoff.

Unlike the ABC sitcom which ran from 1996-2003 starring Melissa Joan Hart, The Chilling Adventures is said to be a much darker take on the character. It will be a dark coming-of-age story centering on the occult and of course, witchcraft. This adaptation will focus on Sabrina trying to reconcile her dual nature while standing against the evil forces that threaten basically everyone.

The series is being eyed for the 2018-2019 season as a companion to Riverdale. Robert Aguirre-Sacasa will serve as both executive producer and writer, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Jon Goldwater, and Lee Toland Krieger, who is set to direct should the project move forward.
