sabrina the teenage witch season 1 netflix

There, half-witch, half-mortal Sabrina Spellman ( Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka) lives in a weird and wonky mansion-funeral parlour with her sweet and scatty Aunt Hilda (Lucy Davis of The Office fame), her firm and fanatical Aunt Zelda (Miranda Otto from Lord of The Rings), and her handsome Cousin Ambrose (Chance Perdomo), a warlock under house arrest for past wrongdoings.ĭays away from her 16 th birthday and the Dark Baptism that commemorates it, Sabrina struggles as she comes to terms with her dual identity, torn between her duty to serve the Dark Lord and a simpler life with her boyfriend Harvey (Ross Lynch) and friends Jaz (Rosalind Walker) and Susie (Lachlan Watson).

The story opens in dreary Greendale, a town with a tragic history of witch hunting. It does, however, manage to spellbind in other ways. Sadly, a Salem sans voice isn’t the only aspect of this creation by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ( Riverdale) that lacks true magic. How so? Well, Salem – wait for it – doesn’t talk in the new series ( Sabrina from this point onward). But Netflix has really done a number on fans. A former witch cursed with feline form as comeuppance for a grand scheme to take over the world, Salem’s sarcastic one-liners punctuated the show’s charming mawkishness to perfection.Įxcited for a reimagining of Salem and the show’s entire premise, the announcement of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina aroused a nostalgic anticipation in many a millennial. Many of us lived for the mid-90s series Sabrina the Teenage Witch, if alone for the sardonicism of Salem, the loopy protagonist’s magical cat.
