If you are excited to meet Sabrina on 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina', you'll be shocked to know that you have already met her around a year ago, on 'Riverdale'.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who is the creator and executive producer on both series, told EW in an interview that Sabrina Spellman, the teenage witch, was originally supposed to join the cast of 'Riverdale' at the end of the CW drama's first season as a villain. 

“We had said, ‘Maybe Season 2 will be like [the supernatural comic book series] Afterlife With Archie. We’ll do a big genre switch, and it will be horror… and Sabrina could come and be the antagonist.’ There was even a time when we talked about the Season 1 cliffhanger being the arrival of Sabrina," he said.
