The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is heading to The CW

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina reimagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch 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.

The CW, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television are developing this as a spin-off from the Riverdale TV show.

Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is writing the adaptation, which could potentially debut in the 2018-19 season. Lee Toland Krieger would direct and executive produce with Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater.
