The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
In what seems like a promising and captivating series on one of our favourite TV streaming services, Netflix is cancelling our favourite teenage witch drama. Season 4 marks the series finale of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which stars Kiernan Shipka, Gavin Leatherwood, Ross Lynch, Jaz Sinclair, Lachlan Watson, Miranda Otto and more. The earlier three seasons have been quite the ride. From Sabrina’s reluctance to partake in her Dark Baptism (a ceremonial passage for coming-of-age witches to devote themselves to The Dark Lord) to her battles against the Lucifer Morningstar and eventually, against a rival Pagan clan of practitioners, the half-witch/half-mortal always seem to land herself in someone supernatural ordeal and having her needing to save the day. The last season will pit our teenage witch and her allies (comprising both mortals and witches) against the series’ recurring villian Fautus Blackwood (played by Richard Coyle) and the Eldritch terrors.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is now on Netflix.

Riverdale returns for a fifth season, and this time the teenagers from Riverdale highschool explore even more mysteries in the murder-laden town.

Most of us are familiar with this. After all, Bloom and her fairy friends used to grace our TV screens when Kids Central was still a thing in Singapore.

I’m sure we are in good hands and this is one thing many are all excited about.
