Ever because it was introduced that The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina could be coming to our TV screens, we have had a large number of questions. Will it air on The CW? How scary will or not it’s? Who will play the long-lasting teenage witch? And when, if in any respect, will she pop up on Riverdale? While we have gotten the solutions to most of these queries (FYI: mo, it is going to be on Netflix; will probably be moderately horrifying; Kiernan Shipka is the new Sabrina)- the final situation is a bit more imprecise.
Although The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics are rooted in the identical universe as the remainder of the traditional Archie comics characters – Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and so forth. – it would not seem like the TV variations of the comics will essentially observe swimsuit. Both Riverdale and the brand new Sabrina sequence are helmed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who additionally serves because the chief inventive officer of Archie comics, however what may maintain Sabrina from making an look at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe anytime quickly is solely a matter of the networks every present is tied to – The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina shall be on Netflix, whereas Riverdale is on The CW.
Since the bewitching cast of the Sabrina spinoff is just about full, we will hopefully anticipate the brand new sequence to debut someday later this 12 months. And if Sabrina does find yourself making a visit to the close by city of Riverdale, the comics present a number of concepts of how her run-in with Archie and the gang may go down.

The fundamental distinction between the 2 exhibits is that whereas Sabrina embraces darker supernatural parts (she’s a witch, in spite of everything), Riverdale is merely simply darkish. In the horror comedian, Sabrina lives throughout from Riverdale in a city referred to as Greendale, which is on the opposite aspect of Sweetwater River. Just like within the decidedly lighter, mid-’90s TGIF comedy Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, the younger half-witch, half-mortal is creating her powers with the assistance of her aunts Hilda and Zelda, a speaking cat named Salem, and boyfriend Harvey Kinkle.
Sabrina spends a great chunk of her time conserving her powers underneath wraps, whereas additionally attempting to use them to assist the individuals in her city. Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge even make appearances in Sabrina’s story, however as witches from a coven in Riverdale (clearly the TV variations of the characters have but to dabble at nighttime arts). The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was impressed by outstanding horror movies like Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, so it goes down a a lot, a lot gorier and extra violent highway than followers of even Riverdale could be accustomed to.
Now, the primary hurdle standing in the best way of bringing Archie’s crew and Sabrina collectively is the supernatural ingredient within the latter’s world. Riverdale may characteristic homicide, suicides, and dream-zombie Jason Blossom, however mixing in straight up magic may push The CW’s twisted teen cleaning soap one step too far. Creatively, that is possible a fundamental motive for why The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina resides on Netflix, as a substitute.
In sum: when it comes to a Sabrina cameo on Riverdale, you in all probability should not maintain your breath. Unless you could have time to decide up some Archie comics, that’s.
