Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will finish after its fourth and final season, and it is a pity. It was one of the most fun, feminist shows on Netflix, mixing horror tropes with teenage daydreams and witchy family drama. Let's look at all the things that fans will miss once the final season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is over.

American Gothic

CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has a very specific aesthetic: Satanic American Gothic. The Spellman family home, with its Victorian shape, its ancestral cemetery and its elaborate wallpaper rivals the Addams Family mansion.

This dark sensibility affects everything, from the moody filter, to the structured costumes, to the hair and makeup of every character, who all scream dark side of the WASP. Each individual look is modeled after the dark side of a very specific era of fashion history. For Zelda, it the forties; for Sabrina, it is the sixties and for the Weird Sisters, they wear the mini-skirt version of Colonial frocks accompanied by very dark lips.

Stunning Story Arcs

The way that every character evolves in the show suggests that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's story had been carefully planned since the beginning. Not only does Sabrina move from an indecisive teenager reluctant to accept her power to the literal Queen of Hell, but all the other characters are on their own journey.

Hilda, the shyest and most dependent aunt, has a satisfactory love life; Zelda has moved from upholding the patriarchy to becoming High Priestess of a matriarchal coven; Ambrose's indifference has morphed into courage and Father Blackwood has naturally devolved into a raging, power-hungry lunatic once his power base disappeared. The stakes for each character have also escalated with each season but have not reached a definitive resolution, which will probably happen in Season 4.

Religious, Mythological and Horror References

CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA

While the first season was littered with Biblical references and the Satanic subversions of Catholic rituals, Seasons 2 and 3 introduced mythological figures from all over the world, tying witchcraft and magic to a global tradition much larger than Greendale's small coven. In the third season, the antagonistic Pagans were an offshoot of Bacchic worshippers of Pan.

Every episode also includes a shout-out to classic horror figures, including Dorian Gray, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft and Shirley Jackson. The show plays fast and loose with horror stereotypes; for instance, Dorian Gray turns out to be a pretty decent ally, even if he's still the summit of vanity, and Gryla, based on the two hungry mothers of the Book of Kings, is not quite the cannibalistic monster the audience thinks she is.

Flaming Romance and Spine Freezing Horror

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina manages to remain PG-13 even as it addresses many suggestive themes as well as horror scenes that had the potential to unleash a lot of gore. Sabrina, Theo and Roz are constantly balancing their natural desires and the dark forces that surround them, but the show alternates and superposes both quite masterfully. It's very important to get both butterflies in your stomach and vampires on your neck , and the show will let fans decide which one is romantic and which one is horrific.

The Magic of the Seasons

Christmas is for cuddling up with a warm cup of eggnog, Spring is for egg-hunting and Fall means pumpkins, fallen leaves and spooky monsters, and unlike other shows where it's impossible to determine what time of the year it is, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina puts each season front and center. This works well not only to mark the passage of time, but to also underline how close the witches are to the natural cycles of nature, death and rebirth that feature so prominently in all their rituals.

Exceeds the Bechdel Test

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina saw its predecessor's consideration of the Bechdel test and then ate it for breakfast. Not only does it pass with flying colors, but it also takes its time to deconstruct what representation and oppression mean to women and how to reclaim their voice, be it in the context of a sect of super-powerful witches, deep in hell surrounded by demons or even the boring real-world of Baxter High.

True Inclusiveness

In Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, everyone gets a chance to be a monster and a hero. Three of the show's main characters are Black, ableism is the topic of two full episodes, Theo's gender evolution is treated with enormous sensibility and love and the Greendale Coven is pretty diverse all around. All of the characters are complex, full of contradictions and wonderfully written, regardless of the color of their skin, their sexuality, their gender or their physical qualities.

That Perfect Soundtrack

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is chock-full of classic hits like Monster Mash, Bad Moon Rising and Hey Mickey that match the theme and mood at every turn, but also with delightful cast covers of The Sound of Music, The Phantom of the Opera and Peter Pan: The Musical. Every single one of these scenes where the witches and their friends sing could have been cringey in any other show, but the theatrical use of music almost always ties to spellcasting and a fantastic addition to an already entertaining show.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina Spellman, Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle, Michelle Gomez as Mary Wardwell/Madam Satan, Jaz Sinclair as Rosalind Walker, Lachlan Watson as Theo Putnam, Gavin Leatherwood as Nicholas Scratch, Tati Gabrielle as Prudence Blackwood, Chance Perdomo as Ambrose Spellman, Lucy Davis as Hilda Spellman, Richard Coyle as Faustus Blackwood and Miranda Otto as Zelda Spellman. Parts 1-3 are streaming now on Netflix. Part 4 is expected to arrive sometime this fall.
