Well, it looks like Sabrina the Teenage Witch is finally coming to Riverdale!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Kiernan Shipka has officially confirmed today that she will reprise her role as Sabrina Spellman in the upcoming sixth season of The CW's teen drama She will appear in episode four, appropriately titled "The Witching Hour(s)," which is tentatively scheduled to air on December 7.

The synopsis reads, "Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) is performing a dangerous spell, one that may mean the difference between life and death for a beloved member of the Blossom family, according to a logline description of the episode. Luckily, she's getting a much-needed assist from everybody's favorite 20-something witch, the iconic Sabrina Spellman (Shipka), visiting from Greendale in this years-in-the-making crossover."

Following the big announcement, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa expressed his excitement in the following statement to Entertainment Weekly, "We've been talking about having Sabrina visit Riverdale since season 1, so it's thrilling that this is finally happening, as part of our 'Rivervale' special event. It's also perfect that she shows up to help Cheryl Blossom during her hour of greatest need. Everyone on set lost their minds — I think fans will, too. It's really fun and special."

However, as for how Sabrina returns after she (spoiler alert) died at the end of her three-season run on Netflix, that remains to be seen, but it sounds like the two shows may not be set in the same timeline.

They shouldn't have killed the 2 sabrinas It felt wrong.

Everytime I see Shipka I think of Mckenna Grace, of who she looks like the ages up version.

Also, Riverdale still going? Hasn't the writers room reached the point already they're just throwing darts at random plotpoints to make up the story?

@bkmeijer - Mckenna Grace actually played a young Shipka in an episode of Sabrina.

Variants. Multiverse. What if. Riverdale is in the MCU

I miss Sabrina. Show is awesome. Shouldn’t have canceled it.

Something is off with her in this pic 😳 maybe she’s not wearing a wig ? Or she looks older, idk

NinnesMBC - 10/8/2021, 9:40 AM

@Waddles - Indeed and that picture is from S1 which came out around 2018 but it was likely shot in 2017.

MisterDoctor217 - 10/8/2021, 11:29 AM

@Waddles -
Damn it is noticeable! She looked so young there ! Man 4 years really makes a difference.

Why do we have to get old man 😭

I just wish the women in Riverdale were more attractive (joking because the women in Riverdale are ridiculously hot it's ridiculous)

She would kill it at playing the Stepford Cuckoos

I stopped watching Riverdale halfway after season 4 or 5. I’ll definitely be watching the crossover episode

She'd be the perfect young Emma Frost

or Saturn

Girl

I need to finish the last Season, I really enjoyed CAOS especially binging S3 last year during the pandemic.

Not a fan of Riverdale though, so I might check out some clips only because of Sabrina.

MikeyL - 10/8/2021, 9:48 AM

@NinnesMBC - I think the first season of Riverdale is genuinely good and then it just went off the shit. I’ll watch this one episode to see what’s up with Sabrina but that’s it…. Unless she becomes a main character

NinnesMBC - 10/9/2021, 12:11 AM

@MikeyL - Yeah I can agree with that assessment. Hopefully they do not ruin Sabrina's characterization.
