It’s happening. We do so love a crossover.
Archie comics fans – or fans of Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – are finally going to get their long-awaited crossover and fans are understandably delighted!
Kiernan Shipka, who played Sabrina in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘, is set to appear in season six of Riverdale, Warner Bros have confirmed.
Speaking to TV Line, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who was a writer and producer for both series, said in a statement: “We’ve been talking about having Sabrina visit Riverdale since season 1, so it’s thrilling that this is finally happening, as part of our Rivervale special event.”
“It’s also perfect that she shows up to help Cheryl Blossom during her hour of greatest need. Everyone on set lost their minds – I think fans will, too. It’s really fun and special.”
Shipka confirmed the news via Instagarm with a post (below), captioned: “from Greendale to Riverdale 😈
See u in Season 6.”
Season six of Riverdale is set to premiere with a huge five-episode event titled “Rivervale” on 16 November, following on from the season five finale just this month.
Shipka will appear as Sabrina in the new season’s fourth episode, ‘The Witching Hour(s)’ to help Cheryl with a dangerous spell.
Exciting times for fans of the both shows! If you’re not completely caught up on both, you have until November!
