The show will be written by Archie Comics chief creative officer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, directed by Lee Toland Krieger and produced by Berlanti Productions, in association with Warner Brothers Studios.


"...this dark coming-of-age story deals with horror, the occult and witchcraft. 'Sabrina' will struggle to reconcile her dual nature...


"...of being half-witch and half-mortal while protecting her family and the world from the forces of evil..."


"Sabrina the Teenage Witch", published by Archie Comics was created by writer George Gladir and illlustrator Dan DeCarlo, debuting in "Archie's Madhouse #22" (Oct. 1962).
