Netflix is really cranking up the promotion for ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, which premieres on October 26.  Netflix ordered the show, straight to series and with a commitment for two seasons, based on how well ‘Riverdale’ had performed for the streaming service last summer.  It looks as though Netflix really wants ‘Sabrina’ to be a ‘Riverdale’-sized hit.

To get viewers ready, Netflix has released a new set of photos including some first looks along with the characters’ official descriptions.  Check them out below:

SABRINA SPELLMAN (Kiernan Shipka): “An empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, Sabrina is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world.”

 

HARVEY KINKLE (Ross Lynch): “Sabrina’s boyfriend. The prince charming of this dark fairy tale, Harvey is the son of a coal miner, a dreamboat and a dreamer, completely unaware of the dark forces conspiring to keep him and Sabrina apart.”

 

ROSALIND WALKER (Jaz Sinclair), & SUSIE PUTNAM (Lachlan Watson): “Rosalind, the brash, empowered and outspoken daughter of Greendale’s minister and Sabrina’s best friend at Baxter High. Susie Putnam is one of Sabrina’s friends at Baxter High and a founding member of the school’s newly formed WICCA club. Brave and optimistic despite being bullied at school, Susie lives on a farm at the outskirts of town and deals with a terrifying supernatural threat at home.”

 

HILDA SPELLMAN (Lucy Davis): “One of Sabrina’s two witch aunts. More nurturing than Zelda, Hilda’s motherly nature and warm sense of humor belie a wicked, ghoulish streak. She is as adept at brewing spite jars against her family’s enemies as she is at concocting love potions for the students at Baxter High.”

 

ZELDA SPELLMAN (Miranda Otto): “Sabrina’s sterner witch aunt. Proud and devout, Zelda believes there is no greater honor than serving the Dark Lord as a member of the Church of Night. She is the family’s disciplinarian, fiercely protective of Sabrina, and very much Cain to Hilda’s Abel.”

 

AMBROSE SPELLMAN (Chance Perdomo): “Sabrina’s warlock cousin from England. Placed under house-arrest by the Witches Council, Ambrose is forbidden from leaving the funeral home where he lives with the Spellman woman. Witty, puckish, and pan-sexual, he is one of Sabrina’s partners in crime, always up for mischief.”

 

MARY WARDWELL / MADAM SATAN (Michelle Gomez): “Sabrina’s favorite teacher and mentor at Baxter High. When she is possessed by the Devil’s handmaiden, MADAM SATAN, Ms. Wardwell turns into a sultry, cunning manipulator, always trying to lure Sabrina down the Path of Night.”

 

AGATHA (Adeline Rudolph), PRUDENCE (Tati Gabrielle), DORCAS (Abigail Cowen): “The three Weird Sisters—a trio of powerful, uncanny teenage witches at the Academy of Unseen Arts who look down their noses at Sabrina for being half-mortal.”

 

NICHOLAS SCRATCH (Gavin Leatherwood): “A young, handsome warlock at the Academy of Unseen Arts who befriends new student Sabrina Spellman. An acolyte of Sabrina’s father’s teachings, Nicholas is drawn to Sabrina, as well, and there are immediate sparks between them.”

 

FATHER BLACKWOOD (Richard Coyle): “High Priest of the Church of Night and Dean of the Academy of the Unseen Arts. Ruthless and ambitious, Blackwood hides a terrifying dark agenda that will put him in direct conflict with Sabrina and other members of the coven.”

If you are ready to head to the dark side, ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ will be available to binge on October 26.
