Recently, it was announced that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will, unfortunately, be ending its run on Netflix after the upcoming premiere of Part 4 which will be available for streaming later this year. Yesterday, creator Robert Aguirre-Sacasa took to Twitter to share a new detail from their previous plans for the show, revealing that Part 5 would have featured the long-awaited Riverdale crossover. Because of this revelation, CAOS fans were even more heartbroken by the show’s cancellation with some even launching an online petition to save the Kiernan Shipka-led series.
Thank you for all the love, #sabrinanetflix fans. Part Four is our best yet and Part Five, “Witch War,” would’ve been AMAZING. To be continued in the pages of #CAOS comic book… pic.twitter.com/wNvTfxYNfX

Over the course of Part 4’s eight episodes, The Eldritch Terrors will descend upon Greendale. The coven must fight each terrifying threat one-by-one (The Weird, The Returned, The Darkness to name a few), all leading up to…The Void, which is the End of All Things. As the witches wage war, with the help of The Fright Club, Nick begins to slowly earn his way back into Sabrina’s heart, but will it be too late?

The series, which stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) in the titular role, was ordered to series by Netflix after initial development began at The CW in a two-season deal, with an agreement set to film both seasons back-to-back. The first season premiered on the streaming service on October 26 to rave reviews from critics and audiences for its dark visuals, creepy tone, and Shipka’s lead performance.
