Production

Development

In September 2017, it was reported that a live-action television series based on the comic book Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was being developed for The CW by Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions, with a planned release in the 2018–19 television season. The series would be a companion series to Riverdale. Lee Toland Krieger would direct the pilot, which would be written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Both are executive producers along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater.[16] In December 2017, the project had moved to Netflix under a yet-to-be-announced new title. Two seasons, comprising ten episodes each, have been ordered by the streaming service.[17] CW President Mark Pedowitz stated that Netflix's ability to offer a two-season commitment enticed Warner Bros. Television to move the series to the streaming service.[18] In early May 2018, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was officially confirmed as the series' title.[19] The series was inspired by "slow-burn horror" films such as The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and other "great satanic horror movies from the 1960s and 1970s".[20] The opening title sequence features the art of Robert Hack, the original artist of the comic book series.[21]

Casting

In January 2018, Kiernan Shipka was cast as Sabrina Spellman.[1] Shipka was Aguirre-Sacasa's first choice for the role.[20] The next month, Jaz Sinclair was cast as Rosalind "Roz" Walker,[8] along with Michelle Gomez as Mary Wardwell / Madam Satan, Chance Perdomo as Ambrose Spellman,[5] Lucy Davis as Hilda Spellman,[4] Miranda Otto as Zelda Spellman,[12] and Richard Coyle as Father Faustus Blackwood.[11] In March 2018, Ross Lynch joined the cast as Harvey Kinkle,[3] while Tati Gabrielle was cast as Prudence Night.[9]

In early March 2018, Bronson Pinchot, Adeline Rudolph, and Abigail Cowen, were cast as George Hawthorne, Agatha, and Dorcas, respectively.[14][10] In November 2018, it was revealed that Alexis Denisof and Jedidiah Goodacre would join the cast in the second season in the recurring roles of Adam Masters and Dorian Gray, respectively, while Mckenna Grace would portray a young Sabrina in the Christmas special episode.[2]

Filming

Filming for the first season began on March 19, 2018, just as filming of the second season of Riverdale concluded, which allowed the same crew members to work on both series.[22] Both seasons will film back-to-back,[23] with filming scheduled to last until December 21, 2018.[24] Filming had been expected to begin in February 2018 and last until June 2018.[23]

Connection to Riverdale

The series was originally conceived as a companion series to Riverdale when it was in development for The CW; however, after the series was moved to Netflix, it was unclear if any connection would remain. In January 2018, CW president Mark Pedowitz noted that, "at the moment, there is no discussion about crossing over."[18] In March 2018, Jon Goldwater confirmed that the two series were "two separate entities for right now" but "would love it if they could figure out a way to cross over." Goldwater also felt there was a possibility for the characters to appear on future episodes of Riverdale, since Greendale had already been mentioned as existing on that series.[25] In the first season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Moses Thiessen reprises his role as Ben Button from Riverdale.[26]

Regarding a proper crossover, Aguirre-Sacasa said in October 2018 he would "hate [for a crossover] to never happen" between the two series, adding that a potential idea for one would see the characters of Riverdale "hear[ing] about a haunted house in Greendale and try[ing] to break in and it's Sabrina's house". He also stated that since both series were already established, a crossover could happen in a standalone film with both casts, potentially titled Afterlife with Archie, based on the Archie Horror comic book series of the same name.[27]

Controversy

In November 2018, Satanic Temple activists sued the series' production team over the use of the statue of Baphomet, which they claim was a direct copy of their own statue and portrayed the Temple in an inaccurate and derogatory way.[28][29][30] On November 21, 2018, it was confirmed that Satanic Temple and Netflix have amicably settled the lawsuit dispute, with the terms of the deal left undisclosed to the public.[31]

Release

The first season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was released worldwide on Netflix on October 26, 2018.[32] The same day, the first two episodes were shown in a special screening at Paris Comic-Con 2018.[33] On November 12, 2018, Netflix announced that the eleventh episode of the twenty episodes ordered would be released as a Christmas special episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on December 14, 2018.[34][35] The rest of the second season of the series is set to be released on April 5, 2019.[36]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 90% approval rating with an average rating of 7.71/10 based on 89 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Bewitchingly beautiful and wickedly macabre, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina casts an intoxicating spell and provides a perfect showcase for Kiernan Shipka's magical talents."[37] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 74 out of 100 based on 28 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[38]

Alicia Lutes of IGN gave the series a 9.2/10. She praised the series saying that it "shines in its deliciously dark plotlines, volumes of camp, and irreverent and at-times antagonistic humor."[39] Dave Nemetz of TVLine gave the series a "B+" saying that "Sabrina is more tongue-in-cheek and self-aware than Riverdale is ever allowed to be" and that it is "off to a bewitchingly great start."[40] Meagan Navarro from Bloody Disgusting praised the series, stating that it is "fun and briskly paced".[41]

Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter stated in a review of the series, that the "appeal of Sabrina, increasing as the show goes along, comes mostly from Shipka". He praises the actress's performance by mentioning that she is "perfectly cast complement to one of the show's most endearing elements, namely its blurry approach to modernity.[42] Chris Hayner from Gamespot praised the series by highlighting the performances of the cast members. He further complimented the progressive undertones of the series and stated that it "manages to tangle with modern day issues many face, while couching it all in a supernatural world".[43] Constance Grady from Vox praised the series, particularly for its cinematography, stating that its "higher production values are apparent in every frame, and the result is gorgeous". She further added that when the series fully commits to its dark goth horror aesthetic, it is at "its most thrilling."[44] Petrana Radulovic from Polygon stated in her positive review of the series that "once the horror kicks in, the season continues with just as much chills and sets the stage for what comes next."[45]
