The style of the teaser looks great though. Really excited...
I don't think you'll have to worry.
given its riverdale guy it probably wont be "adult" and will have a deep vein of silliness running through it so could be great fun
I mean, it looks like it could veer into Witch territory quite easily
The comic is pretty much dead serious.
Question, does it appear I need to know anything about Riverdale to watch this?
Remains to be seen. The Sabrina actress has been teasing stuff with the Riverdale cast, but the trailer(and comic) screams 60s aesthetic...
Nope. Until the inevitable crossovers anyway.
I have only watched a couple episodes of Riverdale, but it wouldn't surprise me if black magic was an actual thing that worked on the show, given some of the reactions to the latest season I've seen on Twitter.

There was an episode that flat-out took place in Sabrina's town, then it veered away from it. I think it's because Netflix took Sabrina from CW. Originally I think it was going to become a crossover that lead into Sabrina having her own show.
Cast bios, showing Ambrose and Madam Satan are definitely in.
Wonder if the cobra familiars will be...
What don’t you like about Riverdale?
This has some of the same vibes but is leaning wayyyy more into the supernatural.
Basically i found pretty much all the characters to be completely unlikable and didn't find the good stuff, mostly related to some of the noirish presentation and the visual style, to outweigh the stuff i hated, the trashy teen soap opera.
Also the statutory rape that nobody seemed to care about.
The latter does become something that everyone cares about.
This will likely feel vaguely similar to you with the high school age and noirish feel but then it’ll veer off the deep end since there’s demon gods, witches and such. Less high school drama more supernatural/horror wonder. Sabrina is infinitely more likeable than stupid, sexy Archie already though.
Then again, I’ve only seen a bit and can’t judge the series as a whole yet.
I'll give it a shot then. Supernatural stuff is a pretty big multiplier for much i give a crap about a show. The next biggest is sense of humor. I did after all make it through like 9 seasons of supernatural before the CW branded bad communication drama made me bow out.
It's adapting the comic that the showrunner wrote. I have nothing but high hopes.
All at once.
Sadly, I feel like the show has the same problem Riverdale does: stop getting mired in all these side plots and unimportant characters! You watch Riverdale for Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead. You watch Sabrina for Sabrina.
How Lovecraftian does it get, on a scale of cultist to Cthulhu?
I will give it that they tied up (I think?) all the plot lines.. I can't think of anything major left dangling. Which is nice in this age of oh shit you're cancelled, too bad.
But yeah, other than that, I think this is one of the worst endings ever. The final scene is especially just... what the fuck.
Ehhhhh, it's a lot of name-drops and a little substance. They largely do their own thing off of it. though blackwood does start the season trying to start a cult and going by literally reverend lovecraft.
The main beats center around basically our primal fears represented by 8 eldritch terrors (conveniently in an 8 episode season) heralding the end of existence, like the darkness and the cosmic. It's not like "this is our named elder god from the beyond" as such.
The bad part was the end. They did a lot of cool individual things I felt but the eldritch terrors as monsters of the week felt very rushed despite several of them being super cool visual and narrative content. It's just like none of the terrifying things had time to be terrifying. We're just supposed to relate that philosophically yes that is a terror.
The ending though is just... irresponsible and pretty disgusting
Ehh, that seems to track with the rest of the show(and by extension, Riverdale). Cool ideas, rushed or weird execution, dragged down by too many uninteresting subplots and characters. Aguirro-Sacasa really strikes me as a one-season trick pony kind of guy.
The ending seemed weird even without the fairly horrifying bit with Nick. Like, Sabrina is the literal daughter of the devil, but she goes to heaven when she dies? I'd have expected her to wake up in Hell and pick back up being the queen down there. And if she was going to be dead and off in heaven they could've avoided anyone committing random suicide by having Nick die trapping the Void and only his soul escaping. I mean, if "closing the box before you get sucked in" was a thing Sabrina thought was possible why did she not just do that the first time around, with some of her support witches on hand to keep the mirror portal open for her to come back through?
Bleh. It wasn't Dexter bad but it was a bad ending and really a not-great season all around.
Their one potentially big moment - the band battle - they get upstaged at the last second by another band who do not appear to have ever actually played or practiced together before that moment.
I don't dislike Theo, but let's be real: does he have any relevance to the plot at all? Once Harvey got dumped, his relevance went out the window too.
Probably my favorite was
