What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and just days after news broke that the “Chilling
Adventures of Sabrina” had been cancelled, the cast and crew have taken to social media
to say their goodbyes.
In case you missed it, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
confirmed the sad news last week that the show was cancelled.
In a statement to TV Line, Roberto said quote, “Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
has been an incredible honor from day one.
The cast, beginning with Kiernan Shipka as everyone’s favorite teen witch, has been
an absolute joy.
I am beyond thankful to the crew, writers, editors, assistants, and everyone for pouring
so much love into this dark dream of a show.
I’m also grateful to our partners at Netflix, Warner Bros., Berlanti Television and Archie
Comics for letting us tell the story we wanted to tell, the way we wanted to tell it.
We can’t wait for everyone to see Part 4.”
He also confirmed the news on Twitter saying quote, “Our final chilling adventure begins
this fall on @netflix.
Hold on tight.
So proud of this show, so grateful to everyone who worked on it…”
And many of the show’s cast members have shared their own thoughts about the cancellation
while also posting memories from the last couple years working on the show.
Kiernan Shipka AKA Sabrina herself, has been sharing a series of photos from on set on
her IG feed.
And her co-star Ross Lynch did the same while also writing quote, “Since the news that
sabrina isn’t coming back I’ve been looking through all my pictures from the last two
years - we had some of the best times.
I’m so happy I got to be a part of this show and a part of this group.
It was very special.
There are so many great moments and pictures and stories that i could tell, but for now
I’ll leave you with these pics.
Thank you @sabrinanetflix”
Jaz Sinclair also posted her own “photo dumps” on IG adding quote, “What a glorious
group of misfits.
I am grateful for all of you.
I literally have hundreds of photos of beautiful memories with y’all.
Mostly I just want to prove that my friends are a bunch of beautiful weirdos”
And many fans have been devastated by the show’s cancellation.
They have been taking to Twitter to share their frustration like this person who wrote
quote, “They f***ing cancelled The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina.
That's some clown shit.”
Another person shared this ironic side by side image writing “Chilling Adventures
of Sabrina: The Show's Villain…
The Real Villain”
And RuPaul’s Drag Race star Trixie Mattel chimed in sharing this crying GIF writing
“SABRINA.”
Fans were so torn up by this news that they created a petition to “Renew the Chilling
Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix” and it has over 106,000 signatures and counting.
And showrunner Roberto’s most recent tweet about the show’s cancellation only added
to the outcries for the show’s return.
As many fans of the Archie comics know, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is from the same universe
as Archie, Veronica, Jughead, and Betty… meaning there totally could’ve been a crossover
between the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Riverdale.
Roberto is actually the showrunner for both shows, so he took to Twitter to reveal that
there was actually a plan in the works for a crossover episode before Sabrina was cancelled.
He shared this drawing of the two casts and wrote quote, “Thank you for all the love,
#sabrinanetflix fans.
Part Four is our best yet and Part Five, ‘Witch War,’ would’ve been AMAZING.
To be continued in the pages of #CAOS comic book…”
And after his tweet, many of the cast gave Roberto a shout out for the experience on
the show including Kiernan who retweeted this tweet of his.
And Mirando Otto who wrote quote, ‘I want to start here with the indefatigable Roberto
Aguirre - Sacasa.
Without him there wouldn’t have been A Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
He dreamt big and created an amazing world for all us to play in.
He brought together a stellar group of writers and directors, an outrageously talented design
team, a fabulous crew and and took us on a transcendental ride.
Thank you Roberto for casting me as Aunt Zelda.
So much delicious fun.”
But fans are admittingly not handling the news of missing out on a potential cross-over.
This fan shared this GIF and wrote quote, “I’m not handling this news well at all.
Honestly it feels exactly the same in my stomach as being dumped.”
Another person added quote, “Tell Netflix to bring back Sabrina and we’ll get the
crossover.”
And other fans begged Roberto to not give up on getting the show renewed like this person
who wrote quote, “You can't give up, wtf man, the show and the fandom don't deserve
this #RenewCAOS #SaveCAOS @netflix”
Unfortunately though, there hasn’t been any news about the Chilling Adventures of
Sabrina being picked up by another network, though now I’m gonna spend the rest of my
day thinking about that potential crossover with Riverdale…
We will definitely keep you guys posted though if any other news develops on this front and
if there’s any hope for the show to be renewed.
