18 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Scenes Of 2018

11. The Teenage Witch Returns To Our Screens - The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Archie Comics

For TV watchers of a certain vintage, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a cultural milestone; a show a vast number of 20-somethings grew up on and maintain fond memories of. Thankfully, this isn't a revival of that series, but a new show based on a modern run of the comic series.

That means instead of Melissa Joan Hart we're getting Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka in the title role, and she should prove to be a great fit for this new take (though if they wanted to cast Hart as one of the aunts it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world). It'll be based on the acclaimed comic run of the same name, with the book's writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa also working on the TV series. It'll be linked to The CW's Riverdale, however this will air on Netflix and take a darker, more horror inspired route.

Revivals and remakes can often go wrong, and we won't know for certain until this drops, but the early signs are good, and it'll be exciting to see a new version of the teenage witch on our screens later this year.
