The spellbinding series will follow the life of young with Sabrina as she grapples with her newly discovered powers.
The dark coming-of-age tale will see Sabrina adapt to life as half-human and half-witch.
The new series will be a lot darker than the original show. It has taken major inspiration from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics rather than the original TV show.

However, the beloved aunts will be extremely different to the Helda and Zelda we know and love.
