Yahoo News Netflix reveals flashback plot for Sabrina Xmas special
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is revealing some more details about its spooky Christmas special.
The occult teen drama will be back for a one-off episode next month that flashes back to Sabrina's childhood. In it, the younger version of the witch will be played by Designated Survivor star (and Kiernan Shipka doppleganger) McKenna Grace.

Here's Netflix's official synopsis for A Midwinter's Tale (via Entertainment Weekly): "During our holiday special, we'll get to see what Sabrina was like as a precocious tot. And while The Church of Night celebrates the Solstice, that doesn't stop Li'l Sabrina from asking Santa for something special."
There are also some brand new details on the very "different" second season. That's when viewers will meet a brand new character played by Alexis Denisof - best known for playing Wesley the Watcher in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

His character Adam Masters has just returned to Greendale after working selflessly overseas with Physicians Without Borders to find that his girlfriend Mary Wardwell (Michelle Gomez) has been possessed by the evil Madam Satan. That's not exactly a holiday treat!
Also introduced in the second season will be a mythic character from literature, a version of Oscar Wilde's youth-obsessed Dorian Gray. Descendants' Jedidiah Goodacre has landed the role as a remixed incarnation who Netflix says is "keeping secrets, especially his own", including hoarding a cursed portrait.
