After gaining a ecstatic following on Netflix, Riverdale's viewership more than doubled due to the streaming service; so when The CW passed on a Sabrina companion series, it became a no brainer for Netflix to pick it up. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which it came to be called, has already been renewed for a second season. The first season’s premiere date was announced Sunday morning.
During Netflix's Television Critics Association panel the streaming service made public the series' release date. Filling the Halloween void where Netflix delivered the latest season of Stranger Things, the studio has settled on October 26th for the Riverdale spinoff. The series, which won't be crossing over with Archie & the gang anytime soon, will be dropping all ten episodes of its freshman season that Friday.
In case you aren't on board yet, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will see Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka in the title role as she navigates her teenage life as a witch. Inspired by films like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, it will not share much tonally with the 1996 sitcom.
