Anyone want to learn a Family Secret?
Netflix’s reboot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch has cast another core character for the series – and fans are going to be thrilled.
Following the news that Mad Men actress Kieran Shipka would play Sabrina, The Vampire Diaries’ Jaz Sinclair was cast as her best friend Rosalind.
And just a few days ago, it was revealed that they have already cast Sabrina’s wise-cracking cat, Salem.
But now it turns out that the series have found their Aunt Hilda.
Lucy Davis will be taking on the role of Hilda for the gritty adaptation of the beloved series, according to Deadline.
The character is described as having “a motherly nature and warm sense of humour” – as well as a “wicked, ghoulish streak”.
She’s also “adept at brewing spite jars against her family’s enemies as she is at concocting love potions for the students at Baxter High”.
Based on the Archie Comics characters of the same name, the still-untitled project will reimagine the origin story and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a darker coming-of-age story.
Davis previously starred in the original version of The Office. She also is known for featuring as Dianne in Shaun of the Dead and Etta Candy in Wonder Woman.
