The trailer for the next season of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina sees the surprisingly spooky series go even darker: Sabrina’s gone platinum blonde, is dressing a little bit more McQueen than Mad Men, and is straight-up setting s**t on fire, all to the tune of The Runaways’ ‘Cherry Bomb’.

Hilariously, Miranda Otto’s gloriously arch Aunt Zelda even lampshades the shift, glancing at Sabrina’s black turtleneck and asking: “Are you trying to be edgy?”
The show affectionately known as CAOS will return to Netflix on April 5 2019.
It all looks like good, bloody fun: witchy maypole rituals, plenty of smoochin’, and again, did I mention the fire?
However, I have a question about the fire.
Specifically: she can twirl herself into entirely new outfits, turn on the radio with a tap, cast protection spells, and bring people back from the dead… but she needs a match to light a fire?
Come on, guys.
Of course, perhaps there’s a perfectly good explanation. Maybe Sabrina loses her powers and must resort to committing arson the way mortals do.
Or maybe she just likes to do things the old-fashioned way. Kerosene and matches is as wonderfully retro as her signature black headbands.
Either way, it still makes more sense than the last season of Riverdale.
