Sabrina Spellman is a “daughter of night”, according to the behind the scenes featurette above. The new Netflix series, CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA, tells the tale of the 16 year old witch who is torn between the supernatural world of her family and the normal world of her human friends. On her 16th birthday she is “faced with the decision of signing her name in the Book of the Beast,” according to star Kiernan Shipka. Torn between two worlds, she must choose which path to take: that of a witch or that of a mortal. There’s also monsters and a Dark Lord and a horror vibe to this series that the original 1990s show didn’t have. The show also features many “powerful women that are unapologetic in their fierceness,” says Michelle Gomez.
In the sneak peek above we see Sabrina asking her aunts if they can postpone her witch baptism — a nod to the fact that she’s not eager to give up her mortal side, especially where her boyfriend is concerned. Her aunts, as you can imagine, don’t have a happy reaction to any of this.
CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA debuts on Netflix on Friday, October 26.
