Which stars will return for season 4?

Although it has yet to be confirmed, it’s safe to assume that Kiernan Shipka, Gavin Leatherwood, Lucy Davis, Miranda Otto, Luke Cook, Chance Perdomo, Ross Lynch, Jaz Sinclair, Tati Gabrielle, Lachlan Watson, Michelle Gomez and Richard Coyle will all reprise their roles for Season 4.

What will season 4 be about?

Unfortunately for fans, plotlines for Season 4 have been kept pretty under wraps, but showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa did tell TheWrap that it would most likely be “following both Sabrinas simultaneously going forward.” As fans know, Season 3 ended with two versions of Sabrina Spellman. Wait what? Yep, that’s right, for those who missed it, CAOS messed around with time travel and ended up on two separate timelines so there’s a Sabrina in present day — who is the ruler of Hell — and one who returned to Greendale.

“Each part has its own kind of identity, and Part 4 is different from Part 3, where a lot of it was set in Hell, we still have that. But each episode of Part 4 is like its own mini horror movie, which is exciting,” Roberto also said.

In an interview with TVGuide, Gavin — who plays Nick — also dished on the upcoming season. Although he didn’t confirm anything, he did react to some fan theories and what he had to say was pretty interesting.

The actor said that the idea of two Sabrina’s would totally bring some major “obstacle” into the mix. He also revealed that he’d love to see more of Edward Spellman (hint, hint) in the upcoming episodes. Plus, he thought the idea of Caliban as Cain was a “great theory” and “hoped” that Prudence’s mom is still alive.

“Prudence got dealt a really bad hand. I hope her mom’s out there somewhere, leading a coven. I hope she didn’t just leave her in the dust,” Gavin said about the character.

We’ll have to see more of where that goes; they have a history and they’re friends so there’s a bit of camaraderie that happens there,” he said.

As fans know, Nick was faced with some pretty big demons in CAOS Season 3 and, from the sound of it, he “definitely has more trials and tribulations ahead.” There’s, no doubt, a lot to look forward to in Season 4 and thanks to Netflix, we just got a first look at some upcoming scenes!

Just ahead of the final season’s premiere, Kiernan got real about the show’s finale.

“I think all these characters were given such beautiful arcs, and every character changed and grew so much and to the best version of themselves by the end of Part 4. I hope that people who rode along with us felt like maybe they can do that in their own lives as well,” she told Entertainment Tonight in December 2020. “I hope parallels were found, because I know I found them. So, I really hope that it really inspires people to just live fearlessly and boldly and kindly at the end of the day.”

As for whether or not Nabrina will be back and better than ever, Kiernan and Gavin told E! News that there’s hope for the couple!

They’re great. They love each other … They’re going to find a way. I will say I think wherever Sabrina goes, Nick will follow. Whether they’re together or not, I do think that Nick will always be there,” Kiernan said. Gavin added, “He wants to help out, but you can’t ignore the fact that he’s madly in love with Sabrina either, which is a tough thing to stuff.”

Will there be a ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ and ‘Riverdale’ crossover during season 4

Although the Riverdale Bulldogs might not be making an appearance in Greendale, it seems Sabrina may be going over city lines into fans’ favorite town full of murder. On February 23, 2020, Kiernan took to Instagram and dropped a major clue that the two shows may have a crossover sometime soon. She shared a snap alongside KJ Apa and Casey Cott, sending the internet into a frenzy.

“Riverdale is a big, scary place…,” she captioned it.

Since Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are two of the most popular shows on television, it’s only natural that fans have been hoping and praying that they’d come together, especially since both shows take place in the same universe and were created by the same people!

This wouldn’t be the first time a Greendale resident crossed over into Riverdale. Sabrina Spellmen actually visited the town before. Although she didn’t run into any of the Riverdale characters during her trip, she did stop by the Blossom Maple Farms, which as fans know, is owned by Cheryl Blossom’s family in the CW series!

That’s not all! One of the main characters from CAOS even made a brief appearance during a recent episode of Riverdale. Yep, Billy Marlin — played by Ty Wood— from the Baxter High Ravens football team was interrogated by Betty Cooper during an investigation she was conducting about the sports team. While he might be known to CAOS viewers as the jock who was mean to Sabrina and the weird sisters, he actually proved to be quite helpful to Betty during their chat at Pop’s Diner.

Safe to say this would be the crossover of our dreams!

Will there be a ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ season 5?

Unfortunately, no. It was recently announced that the series was canceled and the upcoming fourth season would be the last.

“Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been an incredible honor from day one,” showrunner Roberto said in a statement to TVLine. “The cast, beginning with Kiernan 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.”
