Something wicked this way comes as Netflix conjures up the official trailer and key art for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which will air from 26 October.
With a total of 10 episodes, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars Kiernan Shipka, imagines 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.
