11 Most Anticipated Comic Book TV Shows Coming In 2018

5. The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

Riverdale burst onto the scene last year with a brilliant aesthetic and an even greater cast, cultivating a dedicated following and propelling Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica into the spotlight once again.

It was one of the best comic book TV shows of last year, a fact that's been duly acknowledged by the folks at Netflix with the ordering of a series spin-off, based on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Starring Kiernan Shipka in the title role, the show will still be connected to the universe The CW have built with Riverdale, albeit it with a somewhat darker vibe, departing from the older TV sitcom based on the character that aired from 1996-2003.

Serving as an origin story for the character, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will further add to Netflix's more mature comic book adaptations, taking its inspiration from classic horror films more-so than the light-hearted escapades that typified the character's early years, and certainly her appearances in the early 2000s. Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa - the creator of the original Chilling Adventures comic - will also exec produce the series, which is great to see given how it's so rare.

The fact that Netflix have ordered two seasons also speaks volumes for how confident they are in the concept, and with a tentative 2018 date in mind, this is one show fans will most definitely have to binge.
