Kiernan Shipka Says “The Door is Open” for Playing Sabrina Again After Tonight’s “Riverdale” Crossover
Netflix’s series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” came to an end after 36 episodes late last year, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of Kiernan Shipka‘s Sabrina Spellman.
Shipka will reprise the role of Sabrina in the current sixth season of The CW’s “Riverdale,” appearing in the episode “The Witching Hour(s)” that airs TONIGHT, DECEMBER 7TH.
EW recently laid out the storyline, “Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) is performing a dangerous spell, one that may mean the difference between life and death for a beloved member of the Blossom family, according to a logline description of the episode. Luckily, she’s getting a much needed assist from everybody’s favorite twenty-something witch, the iconic Sabrina Spellman (Shipka), visiting from Greendale in this years-in-the-making crossover.”
So what’s next for Sabrina Spellman? The door is open to all possibilities, Shipka suggests in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly ahead of tonight’s big “Riverdale” episode.
“I think the door is open, and that’s very exciting,” Shipka teases.
Speaking about the crossover episode of “Riverdale,” Shipka tells EW, “There was always the hope of a crossover, so to get to be Sabrina again was a treat. It was a thrill. Also to go over to the set and do it for a few days and really have some fun with it, versus it being my full-time job, was really interesting. I did quite literally, in theme with Rivervale, feel like I was in an alternate universe. [Laughs] It was wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it.”
“The Witching Hour(s)” airs tonight on The CW. Don’t miss it!
Director Ishirō Honda (Godzilla) brought The Human Vapor to the screen for Toho back in 1960, and the classic tokusatsu film is getting a brand new series reboot from Netflix.
All eight episodes of “Human Vapor” will premiere July 2 on Netflix.
Watch the brand new official trailer below.
Here’s the full official synopsis: “Kenji Okamoto (Shun Oguri), a detective on suspension, is recruited to hunt down the criminal behind a series of unprecedented murders. It all starts when a college professor suddenly swells and explodes on live television.
“Before anyone can process this bizarre event, a man calling himself the Human Vapor (UTA) announces that he will perform a series of murders, sending society into a great panic.
“Kenji and reporter Kyoko (Yu Aoi) devote themselves to uncovering the truth and catching the culprit, who seems to be mocking the authorities as they struggle to close in on him. With each new killing, he corrodes society with a formless, pervasive fear.”
“A legendary Toho film is rebooted with a brand-new story,” Netflix previews. “VFX by the Academy Award-winning team Shirogumi that amazed the world with its work on Godzilla Minus One is combined with an extraordinary sense of scale, represented by grand car chases. A visual experience of a new dimension that far surpasses past Japanese drama series.”
Shun Oguri, Yu Aoi, Suzu Hirose, Kento Hayashi, and Yutaka Takenouchi star.
Shinzo Katayama directed “Human Vapor,” written by Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) and Ryu Yong-jae. This marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Toho Studios.
