Kiernan Shipka, known best for her role in Mad Men will take on the fabulous role of Sabrina Spellman.





The new series is ​darker than ABC's Sabrina the Teenage Witch with Melissa Joan Hart that we grew up with, and if you're a fan of the comics, you'll know what to expect.

The show will follow Sabrina in a sinister coming-of-age story of horror, the occult, and witchcraft. Of course, like the story we all know, the young lady must learn to live with being a half-witch, half-mortal, all while going to high school.





Executive producer on the project Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ​says, “We’re all such huge fans of Kiernan’s work that when we started talking about who this new incarnation of Sabrina could be, her name was on everyone’s wish list."





“This is a darker, more macabre version of Sabrina, and we’re incredibly excited for people to see Kiernan make this iconic character her own," he continued.

Sabrina, being an Archie Comics character, is ​rumored to make an appearance on The CW's Riverdale. After all, in a recent episode, character Jughead travels to Greendale, Sabrina's hometown.





That crossover would be epic, and now we're on step closer to the Sabrina series! The casting couldn't be more perfect.
