When Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Netflix’s dramatic interpretation of Archie Comics’ teen witch, arrived just in time for Halloween last year, it quickly became an expected hit. Set in the same midcentury-but-now mashup era as Riverdale, the coming-of-age series, starring Kiernan Shipka as the title character, followed its initial 10 episodes with a Christmas special and is slated to return with another nine installments on April 5, less than six months after the series’ debut. It feels like not a moment too soon: I eagerly anticipate more of Sabrina’s Buffy-lite escapades, and as a TV binger, I’m tired of forgetting what happened in the previous season on some of my favorite shows in the 364 days between releases. Sabrina’s twice-a-year advents, like Nailed It’s and Queer Eye’s before it, suggest Netflix is rediscovering the wisdom of broadcast TV’s periodic dole outs.
