"Meet Greendale's latest resident!"
Netflix's reboot of
Sabrina the Teenage Witch has given fans what they've been hoping for since the show was first announced.
And no, we aren't talking about a
Riverdale crossover (but we're still pretty hopeful about that).
Following the news that
Mad Men actress Kieran Shipka would play Sabrina, and
The Vampire Diaries' Jaz Sinclair would co-star as her best friend Rosalind.
While we don't know yet who will be taking on the role of Harvey, the series' producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed on Friday that the most important character has been cast.
We mean Sabrina's wise-cracking cat Salem, of course.

While he first started out as an ordinary non-speaking cat in the comic books, Salem got a much darker origins story following the success of the '90s sitcom
The character was revealed to be a witch sentenced to spend a century as a cat, with no magical powers.
It hasn't been confirmed yet what kind of way the series will show Salem, but we're definitely intrigued.
It is not yet known what the series will be called, but it promises to stay faithful to the
Sabrinacomic books, focusing on dark magic, the occult, and horror.
