The presence of Sabrina Spellman on Riverdale will address the conclusion of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Riverdale's latest season began with a five-part event series named "Rivervale," which took the program in a new path by dealing with the supernatural and occult. This has paved the way for another Archie comics character, Sabrina Spellman, to make an appearance on Riverdale.
After the popularity of Riverdale, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was planned for The CW and subsequently moved to Netflix, where it aired for four seasons from 2018 to 2020. Many fans of the show, including series actress Kiernan Shipka, were outraged when the series was prematurely stopped with Sabrina dying in the final episode. When it was reported that Shipka would return to Riverdale to reprise her role as Sabrina, fans wondered whether the crossover would take place before or after her final episode.
