‘Sabrina’ is back, scarier than ever

“Sabrina the Teenage Witch” is coming back to your TV. But this time, she’s not fooling around.

Less than a week before Halloween, Netflix will premiere “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” its horrortinged reimagining of the Archie Comics character. The streaming service announced Sunday an Oct. 26 launch date for the 10-episode first season during Netflix’s spell.

Unlike ABC’s bright and funny TGIF version of the character starring Melissa Joan Hart, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” takes a cue from the recent neo-noir reboot of the original “Archie” comics, “Riverdale,” a breakout hit for the CW. The series will feature Kiernan Shipka (“Mad Men”) in the role of the young blond mortal-witch as she attempts to navigate her abilities.

Fans of the original “Sabrina” will recognize familiar elements and characters. Salem, the talking feline, aunts Hilda and Zelda and boyfriend Harvey are all present. But the new “Sabrina” now borrows from classic horror films such as “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Exorcist.”

The new version is based on the comic of the same name from “Riverdale” showrunner and Archie Comics chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who will be an executive producer alongside “Riverdale” collaborators Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Archie Comics Chief Executive Jon Goldwater and Lee Toland Krieger.
