Starring Shipka as the titular witch,”The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” is a new take on the classic “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” comicbook series re-imagined as a dark coming-of-age story tonally in the vein of “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Exorcist.”

The new series finds Sabrina (Shipka) 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.

The series also stars Lynch as Sabrina’s boyfriend Harvey, Chance Perdomo as her cousin Ambrose, Richard Coyle as Father Blackwood, Lucy Davis as Aunt Hilda, Miranda Otto as Aunt Zelda, Tati Gabrielle as Prudence, and Michelle Gomez as Mary Wardell.

The drama hails from Warner Bros. Television-based Berlanti Productions.
