Kiernan Shipka has signed on to star in Netflix's upcoming horror reboot of Sabrina The Teenage Witch.. The new series will be titled The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (?), and will be more of a classic horror tv show than a comedy series..
Story, the series will be a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit...
Last year Kiernan Shipka starred in the very good The Blackcoat's Daughter, her works include Mad Men, The Legend of Korra, Flowers in the Attic, Carriers..
The new series will be written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and directed by Lee Toland Krieger. Executive Producers include Aguirre-Sacasa, Krieger, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater..
