As if we werenât already psyched enough for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Netflix got us all the more excited with the promo images that got released earlier today.
First, we got a closer look at Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina. Itâs been clear from the beginning that Shipka is an excellent casting choice for everyoneâs favorite teenage witch, especially given how well she does with darker material. (After all, this ainât your grandpaâs Sabrina the Teenage Witch.) But if you werenât convinced before, you can’t deny the strength and fierceness of Shipka/Sabrinaâs Little Red Riding Hood But Spooky vibes. Also, how enticing is that darker-than-dark color palette? Yes, Chilling is a Netflix series, but it looks fit for the dramatic doom and gloom of The CW here. As a completely shame-free Riverdale fan, Iâm all for that feel.
It looks like we may be drifting into FX territory here, too, with this American Horror Story-esque scene of Sabrinaâs baptism. I donât want to assume anything, but this looks a heck of a lot like a coven to me. In addition to Shipka, we get a glimpse of Hilda and Zelda looking a little less wacky than they did on TGIF. Thereâs also the added bonus (?) of a blurry figure in the background wearing a horrifying bunny mask. What better way to pique our collective curiosity than that?
Weâll keep you posted on all things Chilling as the series approaches. Itâs set to premiere on October 26, just in time for a Halloween group watch.
