13 New TV Characters We Can't Wait To Meet In 2018

11. Sabrina Spellman - The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

Melissa Joan Hart might always be the Sabrina the Teenage Witch to a generation, but despite nostalgia-fuelled fondness of the 90s series, there's reason to be excited about the character's screen return.

Netflix's version, based on the comics of the same name, will be a darker, more horror-infused take on the character, which is an exciting direction for things to go in - and they've nailed the casting of the lead character.

Kiernan Shipka, who was brilliant on Mad Men, should be able to nail the various aspects of the teenage witch (and just a teenager in general), and prove a captivating lead after a strong supporting role in Mad Men, while it'll also be great to see Sabrina back but with a darker, more adult-orientated twist.
