Kiernan Shirpka Explains How in Hell Sabrina’s Coming to Riverdale

Those followers who’ve been patiently awaiting the long-anticipated crossover between Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina want to attend not. Tonight’s episode will lastly see Keirnan Shirpka’s teenage witch assembly her fellow Archie Comics characters as a part of the present’s more and more weird “Rivervale” five-part occasion collection, and the actor has revealed why—and how—Sabrina’s come to city after dying within the finale of her personal collection.

Just to be clear, there isn’t a continuity between the 2 collection, particularly in the meanwhile. It was by no means explicitly said that Riverdale and Chilling Adventures passed off in the identical TV universe within the first place, however proper now, Riverdale may not even be in its personal continuity. The occasion collection has been happening in Rivervale, an alternate model of the city the place explicitly supernatural issues are taking place, like assaults by murderous ghosts, the arrival of Satan, and the ritual sacrifice of Archie Andrews (Ok.J. Apa) by all of his family and friends. Whether that is an alternate universe, a dream sequence, or one thing else completely, is but to be seen.

So there doesn’t have to be an evidence for a way Sabrina has been resurrected after dying and going to heaven in her collection’ finale, however Shirpka has one anyhow. “It’s very unlike Sabrina to just kind of chill in the Sweet Hereafter. I think she would get bored and want to find her way back to her friends and her family, and vice versa. Her aunties and her friends and Ambrose would do anything for her, so to me, it makes sense that her death wasn’t a forever death,” she advised TV Line. Since there have been plans for a fifth season of Chilling Adventures in movement earlier than Netflix determined to not renew the present, it appears seemingly Sabrina was going to be resurrected anyway.

Again, it hardly issues. As for what brings the witch to Riverdale, I’ll provide you with three guesses, and they need to all be Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch). Here’s the official synopsis for tonight’s episode: “As Bailey’s Comet passes over Rivervale, Cheryl and Nana Rose revisit the tragic stories of the Blossom women through the years; the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event prompts Cheryl to summon a familiar face to Rivervale — Sabrina Spellman.”

“We learn that Cheryl and Sabrina have been friends, and I think it should come as no surprise that those two characters are friends,” Shirpka stated within the interview. “[Cheryl] is in need of some extra horsepower and some extra witch power, and who better to call than Sabrina?’”

It does come as no shock that Cheryl, who’s at present main a cult based mostly round her murdered brother, has saved his rotting corpse round for a lot too lengthy, and had a haunted doll—all within the present’s common continuity, thoughts you—is pals with a witch who’s/was a member of a satanic coven. Honestly, given how bananas the whole lot is on Riverdale correct, it could come as no shock to study O.G. Cheryl can be pals with a witch who’s/was a member of a satanic coven. There are already so many cults on the present; what’s yet one more?
