Yahoo News Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 4: When could the Netflix series be released and who's in the cast?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina fans will be sad to know that the upcoming season is also the final one.
In an announcement made in earlu July, Netflix confirmed that while the hit show will be returning for a fourth season later this year, it will be the last one.
The series centres on the trials and tribulations of a young Sabrina Spellman, gloriously played by Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka, as she struggles with her identity as a half-witch, half-mortal.
As well as facing everyday dramas like most teenagers, Sabrina also has to battle (literal) demons and the Dark Lord.
Ahead of its arrival later this year, here’s everything you need to know about season four...
Why has Chilling Adventures of Sabrina been cancelled?
Sadly, Netflix didn’t give a reason for the show ending after series four.
Following the announcement, executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa posted a heartfelt message on social media, writing: “Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been an incredible honour from day one. The cast, beginning with Kiernan as everyone’s favourite 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 four.”
Kiernan Shipka, who plays Sabrina, shared a picture on Instagram captioned: “FINAL PART LETS GOOO WITCHES!!!!!!!”

Meanwhile, other cast members have shared their excitement about the return of the series, including Gavin Leatherwood, who plays Nicholas, and Sam Corlett, who stars as Caliban.
When is season 4 coming to Netflix?
Sadly, there’s no release date for the upcoming season just yet - however, the final eight episodes are set to air later this year.
What’s the show about?
Based on the Archie comic book series of the same name, Chilling Adventures follows the spooky happenings of Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka), a half-witch-half-mortal teenager.
Much like the popular '90s series (which starred Melissa Joan Hart) the show features characters such as Harvey Kinkle, Hilda Spellman, Zelda Spellman and Salem Saberhagen (though Salem doesn't talk in the Netflix remake).
However, the Netflix version is far darker than the original show. Series 3 saw Sabrina once again having to choose between friends and family or her throne.
Fans are desperate to know how the show will conclude, and Netflix says the last episodes will see "The Eldritch Terrors descend upon Greendale", adding: "The coven must fight each terrifying threat one-by-one (The Weird, The Returned, The Darkness to name a few), all leading up to… The Void, which is the End of All Things.
"As the witches wage war, with the help of The Fright Club, Nick begins to slowly earn his way back into Sabrina's heart, but will it be too late?"
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina seasons 1 to 3 are available to watch on Netflix now.
