He told Entertainment Weekly:
"During season 1 of Riverdale — before Riverdale exploded and found its footing as sort of a noir, crime, pulp show — we had said, 'Maybe season two will be like [the comic] Afterlife With Archie. "We'll do a big genre switch and it will be horror, and it will be Afterlife and Sabrina could come and be the antagonist'. "There was even a time when we talked about the season 1 cliffhanger being the arrival of Sabrina."[caption id="attachment_428945" align="alignnone" width="640"]

Aguirre-Sacasa admitted that for "various reasons" it no longer felt right to introduce Sabrina into Riverdale - although the big one was that the series became more of a crime show.
He continued:
“It felt like if Riverdale is crime and pulp and all that stuff, then Sabrina could be horror. "It felt like there was a separation between Greendale and Riverdale — magic should exist in Greendale, but not in Riverdale. That was the thought.”We're still keeping our fingers crossed there will be some kind of cross-over, though - after all, stranger things have happened.
