This Chilling Adventures of Sabrina review contains no spoilers, except for some information that was presented in the series’ trailers. It is based on all eight episodes of season 4 that were made available to critics.
“Once more into the fray, right guys?”
Let’s just bottom line things right up front here: This is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s strongest — and most entertaining — season. So naturally (in what is rapidly becoming the streaming giant’s signature move) Netflix canceled the series just as it reached its creative peak. The eight episodes of this fourth and final chapter of the Archie Comics-inspired series have it making bold character choices and plot developments that are genuinely surprising.
Indeed, there is a finality to these new installments that make one question how soon into the production process the show’s creative team was informed of its cancellation.. Whomever knew what and when...

During Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 1 Episode 17 and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 1 Episode 18, Sabrina was pushed to the edge and returned with much more power than anyone could have expected.
Witch hunters first threatened all the witches at Greendale, leaving it up to Sabrina to save the day and discover the magic she didn't know she had. Then she continued to test that theory when Ambrose was on trial and about to

Christmas has never been so sinister, with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina trying very hard to leave a mark this holiday season.
This successful special relied on the way that not much could be done without later having to fix it because this serves as a bridge between the upcoming second part of the show.
During Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 1 Episode 11, Sabrina holds a seance to check why her mother was in limbo. She tells Madam Satan about this first though, allowing her to interfere in those plans while she waits to hear from the Dark Lord again.
Meanwhile, Susie gets a job at the mall that takes a deadly turn and Roz has to crack the case. And Harvey's relationship with Sabrina is further poked at when she starts to use magic more in their everyday interactions.
This leads to Harvey asking her to never use magic anywhere near him,...

Netflix has just debuted the first trailer for the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale” holiday special, featuring “séances, evil Santas, spellcasting, and of course, Sabrina.”
In the holiday-themed one-off, the Church of Night, like all covens, celebrates the Winter Solstice – the longest night of the year – when families gather around the Yule Fire to sing pagan carols and tell ghost stories. But the holidays are also a time for guests and visitors – both welcome and unwelcome – so you never know what might come down the chimney.
Series stars Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto, Lucy Davis, Ross Lynch, Michelle Gomez and Chance Perdomo will all return for the episode, along with Jaz Sinclair, Tati Gabrielle, Adeline Rudolph, Abigail Cowen and Lachlan Watson.

When conflict doesn't come from the outside, sometimes it has to come from within.
With the appearance of the magic school and the sleep demon, it would make sense that they are the new entities posing a challenge for the characters when in fact it happens to be the people themselves.
During Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 1 Episode 4 and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 1 Episode 5, Sabrina is stuck trying to conquer the harrowing that the Weird Sisters descend on her at The School For Unseen Arts. She then runs into similar trouble with a sleep demon that is seeking revenge against her father.
Meanwhile, Zelda and Hilda have to learn to approach their relationship with one another differently. Also, Ambrose tries not to fall under the weight of his house arrest and his inability to access real freedom.
