Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Is Coming to Riverdale Sabrina Spellman

‘Sabrina’ Star Kiernan Shipka Reveals She’s Going to ‘Riverdale’ for Season 6

Sabrina Spellman is heading to Riverdale!

Kiernan Shipka took to Instagram on Thursday to announce that she’ll appear as her Chilling Adventures of Sabrina character in season 6 of Riverdale.

Shipka, 21, posted a photo of herself on the Riverdale set to share the news, which showed her sitting in a director’s chair with her character’s name.

“From Greendale to Riverdale,” Shipka wrote of the towns where the two shows take place. “See u in Season 6.”

In addition to Riverdale, Shipka is next set to star in Treat, a Halloween podcast movie from C13Features. It’ll debut globally on all podcast platforms Oct. 25.

As for Riverdale, Sabrina will pop up in episode 604, titled “The Witching Hour(s),” to help Cheryl perform a dangerous spell that could be the difference between life and death for a beloved member of the Blossom family.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the creator of both Riverdale and CAOS, expressed excitement about the crossover event in a statement to ET.

“We’ve been talking about having Sabrina visit Riverdale since Season One, so it’s thrilling that this is finally happening, as part of our Rivervale special event,” he said. “It’s also perfect that she shows up to help Cheryl Blossom during her hour of greatest need. Everyone on set lost their minds — I think fans will, too. It’s really fun and special.”

Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina Will Finally Cross Over to ‘Riverdale’ in Season 6

The big crossover between The CW’s “Riverdale” and the Netflix series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” is finally happening.

“We’ve been talking about having Sabrina visit Riverdale since Season 1, so it’s thrilling that this is finally happening, as part of our ‘Rivervale’ special event,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told EW in a statement. “It’s also perfect that she shows up to help Cheryl Blossom during her hour of greatest need. Everyone on set lost their minds — I think fans will, too. It’s really fun and special.”

“Sabrina” star Kiernan Shipka also confirmed the news with an Instagram post from the set of “Riverdale,” reprising her “Chilling” role after the Netflix series was abruptly cancelled.

Aguirre-Sacasa created “Sabrina” after he launched “Riverdale” on The CW, and originally the plan was for “Sabrina” to air on The CW alongside the gritty Archie Comics adaptation. But given the darker material for “Sabrina,” Warner Bros. Television decided to move the show to Netflix where two seasons’ worth of episodes were divided up into four parts that aired from 2018 to 2020.

Aguirre-Sacasa has made no secret over the years of the fact that “Sabrina” and “Riverdale” take place in the same universe, and in fact his plan for “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Season 3 was for the series to finally bring in characters from “Riverdale” and make the crossover explicit. Unfortunately he and his cast never got that chance, as Netflix cancelled “Sabrina” resulting in a series finale that wasn’t necessarily intended to be the end of Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s journey.

Shipka will appear in “Riverdale” Season 6 Episode 4, which is titled “The Witching Hour(s)” and finds Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) performing a dangerous spell. The question now is how Shipka’s Sabrina character appears, given where things left off in the series finale – although it’s possible the events of “Riverdale” take place earlier than the events of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”

“Sabrina” officially crossed over into the world of “Riverdale” in a Season 3 episode that saw Shipka’s character visiting a maple tree owned by Cheryl’s family, but no “Riverdale” characters appeared.

The CW hasn’t yet set a premiere date for “Riverdale” Season 6, but the Season 5 finale aired on October 6 so fans likely have a bit of a long wait ahead.

It’s about to get spooky in Riverdale as Warner Bros. announced that Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina Spellman will be joining CW’s Riverdale for a season 6 crossover.

Shipka played Sabrina Spellman for four seasons on Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The series was originally developed for the CW and would have shared a network with Riverdale. But the two Archie-series reboots wound up on different networks in the end.
