Hailing from Aguirre-Sacasa, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.

The cast also includes Lucy Davis as Aunt Hilda, Miranda Otto as Aunt Zelda, Richard Coyle as Father Blackwood, Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle, Tati Gabrielle as Prudence, Michelle Gomez as teacher Mary Wardell and Chance Perdomo as Sabrinas warlock cousin Ambrose Spellman. Branson Pinchot will recur as George Hawthorne, Baxter Highs villainous, Puritanical principal.
