Dark and gritty remakes are the plat du jour of TV’s golden age, especially when drawing from comic books. However, Sabrina Spellman’s story earns the imposing shadows and prodigious screams that color her new Netflix series, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Ditching the bright and cheery tone established in Archie Comics’ original incantation and continued in the 1996 sitcom, “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” it leans hard into the “witch” affiliations even without the word in its title. While still a teen story at heart — and one built for the masses — Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s take is laden with demons, trolls, warlocks, and more, all of which growl with enough menace to evoke a steady stream of shrieks.
What’s even more welcome than effective frights is how eager “Chilling Adventures” is to embrace the genre’s inclusive, progressive spirit. The teens of Greendale High like dissecting the allegories within zombie movies...

Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is arriving next month and promises to be an exceedingly dark and creepy take on the classic Archie Comics character that won’t be anything like the 1990s sitcom. Last week brought us our first look at Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina in the form of a teaser trailer and now, this batch of promo images introduce the rest of the cast, some who will be familiar to viewers of the old series, and some who won’t be.
Alongside Shipka is Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle, Sabrina’s beloved beau who has no idea of the occult world that she comes from. The Spellman family is rounded out with her aunts, the bubbly Hilda (Wonder Woman‘s Lucy Davis) and severe Zelda (Lord of the Rings‘ Mirando Otto), as well as her British cousin Ambrose (Chance Perdomo).
