o you remember watching Sabrina when you were a kid? Maybe it was Sabrina the Teenage Witch or the cartoon. Either way, a lot of us wished we had some of her powers.

Now that we’re older, Sabrina is getting a makeover. Just like Archie Comics, Netflix has given her story a dark twist in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Sabrina will be played by Kiernan Shipka who you might recognize from Mad Men. This origin story has elements of a coming-of-age plot but with touches of horror and witchcraft.

The series was written by Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, so maybe we can expect something similar from this new show.

If you’re intrigued by this, just wait for the premiere on Oct. 26.
