It’s official.
Ever since it was announced that they were going to be rebooting Sabrina The Teenage Witch, we’ve been getting tidbit after tidbit as to what we can expect.
Yet, we still hadn’t gotten a name for the series – until now, that is.
Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed this week that the show is going to be called The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – which doesn’t have quite the same ring as the original.

He confirmed the news in a post on Twitter, also giving fans the first look at Sabrina herself.
The show is set to have a gritty, darker tone as it will be based on the horror comic series of the same name.
Mad Men actress Kieran Shipka has already been confirmed to play Sabrina, The Vampire Diaries’ Jaz Sinclair is set to co-star as her best friend Rosalind, while Ross Lynch will be taking on the role of Harvey Kinkle.
We’ve also gotten our first look at Sabrina’s wise-cracking cat, Salem and, more recently, who will be playing Aunt Hilda.
But, as fans of the original series will know, you can’t have Aunt Hilda without Aunt Zelda – and Homeland’s Miranda Otto will be taking on the role.
