I was perusing the internet the other day and I heard about this and of course I just had to read this article as I used to watch "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" when I was younger and of course I wanted to know what the hell was going on with saying that this remake was going to be darker.
According to The Hollywood Reporter's website the CW channel over in America is looking to expand the Archie character comic book universe with plans for Roberto Aguirre-Sarcasa who also does the "Riverdale" show already on the CW channel looking to make a much darker "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" which will serve as a companion to the "Riverdale" series, and will see Sabrina having to deal with her half-human, half-witch nature while fighting evil forces that threaten her, her family and the world that humans live in which if given the go ahead will be written by Aguirre-Sarcasa along with Greg Berlanti who will executive produce this newly adapted show that according to this same article will be done in the vein of "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist".
According to this same article Sarah Schechter will also executive produce, and Jon Goldwater and Lee Toland Krieger will direct the pilot should this get the go ahead with Berlanti Productions producing in association with Warner Bros. TV.
Oooh...sounds like to me that the CW channel are prepared to spend the big bucks with Warner Bros. maybe getting involved in this production wise.
Not only this but according to this same article this new series that will be called "The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" is not the only potential project that the CW channel are working on according to this same article on The Hollywood Reporter's website, the channel is already readying a spinoff show to "Supernatural" called "Wayward Sisters", this according to The Hollywood Reporter's website "...will air as a backdoor pilot sometime this season...".
This will if it gets the go ahead according to this article could potentially debut in the 2018-19 TV season. This also according to this same article could potentially be made into a dark hour long coming-of-age drama that will traffic in the occult and witchcraft.
