Otto will star in the series regular role as Zelda Spellman.
Zelda Spellman (Miranda Otto) is Sabrina’s sterner witch aunt (the other being Hilda, played by Lucy Davis).

Based on the Archie Comics graphic novel The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The Untitled Sabrina Project imagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.
