SPOILER ALERT: This post discusses the events of the finale of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
If you’re feeling post binge-watch regret over burning through the first season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, then have no fear. The show will return for a Christmas special on December 14th, entitled Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale, which will follow the Spellman family as they celebrate the Winter Solstice.
In addition, fans won’t have to wait until next Halloween for the second season of the series. CAOS Part 2 will be returning on April 5, 2019. The quick turnaround of the series is likely due to its shooting schedule, which saw the first and second seasons shooting back to back.
Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for season two, which shows a now fully witchified Sabrina enjoying her newfound powers. She cycles through some wardrobe changes (including some retro Sabrina looks from the comics) before landing on an appropriately witchy black outfit. Zelda wants to know what is up with Sabrina’s “edgy” new look, and Sabrina reminds her that it’s an all-new year.
The teaser follows Sabrina as she embraces her new identity as a full fledged member of the Church of Night, enjoying wicked dances around the Maypole with her schoolmates at the Academy of the Unseen Arts and getting especially close to warlock bad boy Nick Scratch. And why wouldn’t she? A lame school dance in a high school gym is no match for a sexed up party at magic school, am I right?
But Sabrina still has to reckon with the mortal life she left behind at Baxter High, where BFF Roz seems to be growing closer to Sabrina’s ex Harvey. Hilda also seems to be enjoying a romance of her own with Dr. Cerberus, as a brief glimpse of her makeover implies. Alexis Denisof (who will forever be Wesley Wyndam-Pryce to me) is joining the show as will recur as Ms. Wardwell’s boyfriend Adam Masters, who returns to Greendale not knowing that his fiancée’s body has been possessed by Madam Satan.
Kiernan Shipka discussed Sabrina’s transformation in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying “It’s the fact that now she’s more herself than ever, and she knows that in this moment the only thing that she can do is make this decision because she’s going to use it get her way and what she thinks is right.”
We’ll have to wait and see what consequences her decisions hold in the upcoming second season.
