It’s been 25 years since Sabrina, The Teenage Witch premiered on ABC. She, like me, wanted to be good in school, and a good person.” She doesn't want to be a cheerleader popular. “And the revolutionary idea of Sabrina is she's a good kid. “I wanted to make a show that I would've liked to watch when I was a young a girl,” she tells on a Zoom call from Los Angeles.

It also served as the impetus for co-creator and season 1 showrunner, Nell Scovell, a TV veteran whose writing credits include Murphy Brown, Coach, and Newhart. It’s this kind of reflection, bizarre and relatable in equal measure, that humanizes both Hart’s portrayal as well as Sabrina the series. She, like me, wanted to be good in school, and a good person. The revolutionary idea of Sabrina is she's a good kid. “I have to be a witch, I have to be a mortal, I have to be a teenager and I have to be a girl all at the same time.

“What's the matter?” Sabrina asks with exasperation in the 14 th episode of season 1. So, while she’s struggling to fine-tune her potions, she’s also weathering a pivotal time in her life as she juggles high school, crushes, impending womanhood, and so much more. That’s partly because Sabrina, who lived with her supportive 600-year-old aunts Zelda and Hilda (Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea), only learns that she’s half-witch with magical abilities at the start of the series, when she turns 16 years old. Starring Melissa Joan Hart, fresh off her star-making turn as the title character on Nickelodeon’s Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch has everything-humor, heart, magic, and a female protagonist with extraordinary powers yet similar insecurities as her young audience. But in 1996, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch was appointment viewing for 17 million households.

They were also accompanied by Soleil Moon Frye and Elisa Donovan, who played Sabrina’s college roommates Roxie and Morgan.Watching a talking cat and a teenage girl navigate the wacky ramifications of spells that make unpalatable lima beans disappear or stop the school bully from spreading lies might not seem like a fun Friday night for those growing up in the TikTok era. They played Sabrina, Aunt Zelda, Aunt Hilda, Harvey, the Quizmaster, and the voice of Salem, respectively. Melissa Joan Hart, Beth Broderick, Caroline Rhea, Nate Richert, Alimi Ballard, and Nick Bakay from the original cast were all at the reunion. And seeing her with the whole cast of the show was the reminder we needed that we will always be teenage witches at heart.

Sabrina always knew just how to get out of trouble, inspiring us to think hard in tricky situations, because really: “What would Sabrina do?” Whether she had to use magic to get out of dilemma with Harvey, or simply to get through high school, we were always rooting for Sabrina. This kind of feels like the holiday season came early seeing so many of our favorite cast members together reminded us of why we love this show so much in the first place. And while we wish, with every fiber of our being, that we could still watch new episodes of the show, the cast of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch reunited at L.A. We could watch Sabrina figure out magic all day long, especially with some help from Zelda, Hilda, Salem, and the whole ’90s nostalgia gang. Even 13 years after the last episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch aired, we’re still just as obsessed as ever.
