(Warning: Major spoilers ahead for the finale of Season 1 of Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”)
Meet the new Sabrina Spellman — and her killer dye job.
The finale for the first season of Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” — titled “The Witching Hour” — did a fantastic job of both tying up multiple loose ends and leaving several wandering threads to be followed in the next installment.
So get out your magic workbooks because TheWrap is going to break it all down for you.
The beginning of the end came when Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) was finally forced to (officially) sign her name in the Book of the Beast to help her gain the power she needed to vanquish the spirits of the Thirteen with hellfire and save the town of Greendale. And with a little coaxing from Miss Wardwell (Michelle Gomez), she finally put blood to paper.
(Oh, and that’s when her hair locks turned a striking platinum blonde. See above.)
Lady Blackwell gave birth to twins, one of which Zelda hid away after Lord Blackwell’s wife died in labor. Having delivered the baby, Zelda (Miranda Otto) feared that the infant (a girl) would be in danger, as she was born before her brother, who is being hailed as the Blackwells’ rightful heir.
As for Aunt Hilda (Lucy Davis)? Well, it looks like her boyfriend might be a demon. But we’ll put a pin in that for now.
After everything calmed down in the neighborhood, Sabrina realized her life would never be the same now that she’d given it over to the Dark Lord, so she dumped her high school sweetie Harvey Kinkle (Ross Lynch) for his own protection.
But the biggest twist came in the final moments of the finale, when Miss Wardwell revealed she is, in fact, Madam Satan, aka Adam’s first wife Lilith, aka the woman who wants to reign at the Dark Lord’s side.
Now she’s hellbent on grooming Sabrina to take her place as Satan’s foot soldier so she can rise to power, and she certainly doesn’t like the suggestion the teen witch could actually take her place. (Her poor familiar, Stolas, learned that the hard way…)
Principal Hawthorne — who had been Wardwell’s captive this entire episode — was pretty freaked while listening to her tale. Especially when she pulled off her face to show what lies beneath. Gah.
The season ended with Sabrina fully embracing her wicked side and strolling up to Nicholas Scratch (Gavin Leatherwood), along with Prudence (Tati Gabrielle) and the other Weird Sisters.
Goodbye, good witch.

'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' Season 1 Photos: Check Out Harvey Kinkle, Aunt Zelda and More
Get ready for a deep-dive look at the residents of Greendale. Netflix released new character photos for "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" this week, making us even more excited for the series to arrive than the trailer did.
See below for Netflix's official character descriptions. "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" premieres on Oct. 26 on Netflix.
Netflix
Harvey Kinkle (Ross Lynch) is Sabrina’s boyfriend. The prince charming of this dark fairy tale, Harvey is the son of a coal miner, a dreamboat and a dreamer, completely unaware of the dark forces conspiring to keep him and Sabrina apart.
Netflix
Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka): An empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, Sabrina is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world. Pictured with Lachlan Watson (as Susie Putnam), Jaz Sinclair (as Rosalind Walker) and Ross Lynch (as Harvey Kinkle).
Netflix
The Weird Sisters: Agatha (Adeline Rudolph), Prudence (Tati Gabrielle), Dorcas (Abigail Cowen): The three Weird Sisters—a trio of powerful, uncanny teenage witches at the Academy of Unseen Arts who look down their noses at Sabrina for being half-mortal.
Netflix
Hilda Spellman (Lucy Davis) is one of Sabrina’s two witch aunts. More nurturing than Zelda, Hilda’s motherly nature and warm sense of humor belie a wicked, ghoulish streak. She is as adept at brewing spite jars against her family’s enemies as she is at concocting love potions for the students at Baxter High.
Netflix
Father Blackwood (Richard Coyle) is High Priest of the Church of Night and Dean of the Academy of the Unseen Arts. Ruthless and ambitious, Blackwood hides a terrifying dark agenda that will put him in direct conflict with Sabrina and other members of the coven.
Netflix
Zelda Spellman (Miranda Otto) is Sabrina’s sterner witch aunt. Proud and devout, Zelda believes there is no greater honor than serving the Dark Lord as a member of the Church of Night. She is the family’s disciplinarian, fiercely protective of Sabrina, and very much Cain to Hilda’s Abel.
Netflix
Nicholas Scratch (Gavin Leatherwood) is a young, handsome warlock at the Academy of Unseen Arts who befriends new student Sabrina Spellman. An acolyte of Sabrina’s father’s teachings, Nicholas is drawn to Sabrina, as well, and there are immediate sparks between them.
Netflix
Sabrina's friends, Rosalind Walker (Jaz Sinclair) and Susie Putnam (Lachlan Watson): Rosalind is the brash, empowered and outspoken daughter of Greendale's minister and Sabrina's best friend at Baxter High. Susie Putnam is one of Sabrina’s friends at Baxter High and a founding member of the school’s newly formed WICCA club. Brave and optimistic despite being bullied at school, Susie lives on a farm at the outskirts of town and deals with a terrifying supernatural threat at home.
Netflix
Mary Wardell / Madam Satan (Michelle Gomez) is Sabrina’s favorite teacher and mentor at Baxter High. When she is possessed by the Devil’s handmaiden, Madam Satan, Ms. Wardwell turns into a sultry, cunning manipulator, always trying to lure Sabrina down the Path of Night.
Netflix
Ambrose Spellman (Chance Perdomo) is Sabrina’s warlock cousin from England. Placed under house-arrest by the Witches Council, Ambrose is forbidden from leaving the funeral home where he lives with the Spellman women. Witty, puckish and pan-sexual, he is one of Sabrina’s partners in crime, always up for mischief.
