and Netflix has now revealed that he’ll be played by Disney actor Ross Lynch. We learned that Sabrina’s high school sweetheart Harvey Kinkle would be making a comeback when Aguirre-Sacasa posted a photo of the show’s script on Instagram. Kiernan Shipka – who plays Sally Draper in Mad Men – is set to play the lead role of Sabrina, while Homeland’s Miranda Otto will take on the role of her Aunt Zelda. Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman) meanwhile will play Aunt Hilda. According to Archie Comics, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lee Toland Krieger are all executive producers.

Lee Toland Krieger ( The Vicious Kind, The Age of Adaline) is directing The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Greg Berlanti ( Dawson’s Creek, Riverdale) of Berlanti Productions is producing. He has already confirmed that Netflix’s reboot will be nothing like the jokey ’90s show, explaining that his “is a darker, more macabre version of Sabrina.” Helpfully, Aguirre-Sacasa is also Archie Comics’ Chief Creative Officer. Scroll through seven decades of TV history below, then hit the comments and tell us which resurrection most pleased you.Many of the team behind Netflix favourite Riverdale are also at the helm of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa writing the show. We also ignored spinoffs of previously ended series, such as The CW’s 90210 and Melrose Place offshoots, and sequel series like Fuller House, Girl Meets World, Leverage: Redemption and Raven’s Home. There are many instances of, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” - something NBC perhaps should have considered before gift-wrapping for CBS what would turn out to be nearly 50 seasons of JAG/ NCIS goods!įor the sake of clarity, we have excluded proper revivals of series that originally ended on their own terms, such as Mad About You, Murphy Brown, Psych, 24, Will & Grace and The X Files. The reasons for resuscitation are wide-ranging, from the network that decided, “Hey, it is worth it to produce My Three Sons in color!” to the fans of Jericho who truly drove CBS nuts.

In the wake of Neil Patrick Harris’ cancelled Netflix comedy Uncoupled being rescued by Showtime, TVLine is taking stock of more than six dozen cancelled series that similarly cheated death and returned to air.
