Following the release of its first two seasons and Christmas special, a prequel novel for Netflix’s adaptation of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is coming this summer. Though various backstory elements have already been featured in the comics series on which the show is based, the prequel novel will feature elements that fans of the show haven’t seen before with the teenage half-witch.
Based on the Archie Comics comic book series of the same name, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a darker retelling of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, in which the titular character is forced to balance her life as a mortal with her life as a witch. Complications naturally arise, and Sabrina deals with the everyday complications of being a teenager, as well as decidedly more life threatening worries, like the occasional supernatural foe, a teacher who isn’t who she claims to be, and Satan himself. Now, Sabrina’s story is growing even more in the form of a prequel novel expected to release sometime summer 2019.
Following its October 2018 premiere, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is pulling very few punches when it comes to satisfying fans. Though the series had the benefit of popular source material (from the comics to the sitcom to the animated series), it’s still managed to make a significant name for itself on Netflix based on its own unique merits - from the cast and atmosphere to the surprising riskiness in its less-than-family-friendly material. If nothing else, the fact that it’s one of Screen Rant’s top 10 favorite shows of 2018 should speak for itself.
