Overview

Bringing together a multidisciplinary group of scholars from around the world, Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Hell’s Under New Management presents perspectives on the television show that situates it within contemporary discourses of genre, form, historical place, ideology, and aesthetics. The essays collected by editors Cori Mathis, Stephanie A. Graves, and Melissa Tyndall illustrate that the series is not simply interesting in the context of its status as an extension of Riverdale's narrative or as a reimagining of the popular 1990s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Instead, with its unique blend of the Gothic, horror, and melodrama to approach the coming-of-age narrative, the series is a complex, enduring work and a significant part of the teen television canon. This thought-provoking essay collection provides multiple entry points into television studies for scholars and students alike.
