It’s finally happening. Sabrina will be traveling from Greendale to Riverdale in the CW hit series sixth season.
The Warner Bros. TV Twitter account just posted a photo of Kiernan Shipka in a director’s chair with “Sabrina Spellman Riverdale” written on the back canvas. The image is accompanied with the caption “looks like someone is making the road trip from Greendale to Riverdale … See you in season 6, @kiernanshipka.”
Sharing the Archie Comics Extended Universe, the worlds of Greendale and Riverdale have collided before. Ben Button (Riverdale) delivers a Thanksgiving Pizza to Miss Wardwell (Sabrina) in part one, episode seven of Sabrina. A crossover has also been in the books — literally — in the comics. In Archie #700, Sabrina leaves Greendale and causes trouble in the next town over. Nick Spencer, who wrote the comic, explained, “When a character as classic and iconic as Sabrina comes to town, you know it has to have a big impact.” If Sabrina is coming back from the dead for this, we wouldn’t expect anything less.
Fans of the netflix Sabrina series (which delve heavily into the more horror aspects of the character) became a COVID-19 Netflix casualty and had to ultimately end prematurely due to scheduling conflicts. Hopefully this crossover will satisfy the fans who felt cheated by the show’s cancellation.
