A Settlement Has Been Reached Between The Satanic Temple and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”
Earlier this month, The Satanic Temple filed a $50 million lawsuit against WB/Netflix over the statue of the “Dark Lord” that’s on display in the fictional Academy of Unseen Arts in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” the design of which, they say, was stolen from The Temple’s Baphomet statue. Furthermore, The Satanic Temple feels that “Chilling Adventures” misappropriated their imagery, using it to represent evil deeds that do not reflect their values.
Well, it looks like everything has worked itself out just in time for the holiday season, as THR reports today that the dispute has been resolved, and a settlement has been reached.
“The Satanic Temple is pleased to announce that the lawsuit it recently filed against Warner Bros. and Netflix has been amicably settled,” Satanic Temple attorney Stuart de Haan told THR. “The unique elements of the Satanic Temple’s Baphomet statue will be acknowledged in the credits of episodes which have already been filmed. The remaining terms of the settlement are subject to a confidentiality agreement.”
WB, meanwhile, has declined to comment on the settlement.
