TV

A new Spellman who wasn't featured in the movie will also come on the TV adaptation, which received two-season order on Netflix.

AceShowbiz - The casting breakdowns for Netflix's upcoming series based on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" have found their way out online. The breakdowns tease that the yet-untitled "Riverdale" spin-off will be offering a new take on Sabrina.

Coming via ThatHashtagShow, the description for Sabrina Spellman reads, "Female, Open ethnicity, legal 18 or 18+ to play 16." Sabrina is described as "an empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, struggling to reconcile her dual natures. She is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain some semblance of a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High."

The breakdown continues, "Sabrina's intelligent, compassionate, and brave to the point of recklessness. She challenges witch-doctrine at every turn. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends; wickedly funny; and in the middle of a star-crossed romance with her classmate Harvey Kinkle. Sabrina is all that stands between us and the Forces of Darkness that threaten our world," adding that she is the "SERIES LEAD."

The site also reveals the breakdown character for Sabrina's quirky aunts. Hilda Spellman "is the kinder of the Spellman sisters who are raising Sabrina, though her nurturing nature belies a more ruthless side. She is a healer, a potion-maker, sweet-as-pie until you cross her or anyone she leaves. Operating the local funeral home, the sisters hide their witchery from the world while teaching Sabrina spells and incantations at home." The production opens the auditions for all ethnicities.

Meanwhile, Zelda Spellman's casting breakdown reads, "Female, late 30s to early 40s, All Ethnicities." It adds, "Zelda is the harsher of the Spellman sisters who helped raise Sabrina, though her sternness and tough facade might be hiding a more…mothering soul. Unlike Hilda, Zelda claims that she has never known love--her devotion to the Dark Lord is all-consuming--which is why people looking for a love-potion go to Hilda; those looking to make a spite-jar go to Zelda."

A new Spellman who wasn't featured in the movie will also come on the TV adaptation, which received two-season order on the streaming giant. Ambrose Spellman is an "African American or East Indian, British" male in his early 20s. "Ambrose is Sabrina's 'cousin' and a necromancer. He is witty, puckish, pan-sexual--and loves being a witch. Trapped in the funeral home due to a binding spell, Ambrose lives in the mortuary's attic and acts as one of Sabrina's partners in crime."

The series was initially developed on The CW as a potential companion to the network's hit teen series "Riverdale". Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, however, is still attached as an executive producer.
