2. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is an American series directed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale). Many assume that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is an adaptation of the 90s sitcom Sabrina – Totally Bewitched! is. However, that’s not true because it’s based on the comic book series of the same name that was published in 2014.
It’s a coming-of-age story with a touch of horror, told by teenager Sabrina Spellman. Sabrina tries to find her way into her destined life as a witch – with the help of her two aunts, the kind Hilda, the strict Zelda and her mischievous cousin Ambrose. Although the series seems a bit cheesy at times, the theme and events are quite intense and scary.
By the way, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina came to an end with the fourth season. The finale was “devastating,” say our colleagues at Moviepilot.
