Salem seems a little different in new Chilling Adventures of Sabrina clip
Netflix has released a new clip for the upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina that introduces us to a new (and improved?) version of Salem.
For many of us ’80s and ’90s kids who grew up with Melissa Joan Hart’s Sabrina, it is hard to forget the sarcastic stylings of that particular Salem. He was witty and snarky and I lowkey wished that my black cat at the time could talk and be just like him. However, this new incarnation of Salem seems a lot more sinister than what we are used to. Do you agree?
Make sure you check it out in the player below and let us know your thoughts.
The official synopsis of the show is below:
The new project reimagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist,this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.
Kiernan Shipka stars as Sabrina in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The cast joining her consists of Lucy Davis, Miranda Otto, Chance Perdomo, Michelle Gomez, Chance Perdomo, Jaz Sinclair, Richard Coyle, Tati Gabrielle, Ross Lynch, and Bronson Pinchot.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is writing the script for the series. He originally wrote the comic books that the Netflix series is pulling from. He will also executive produce. Lee Toland Krieger will direct and executive produce with Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater.
The series will premiere on Netflix on October 26. What do you think of the new Salem? Let us know in the comments below or tweet us at @LegionofLeia.
