New Animated Sabrina Series in the Works

NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES: Archie Comics is partnering with Moonscoop on the creation of a new animated series based on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Sabrina, a comic book character from the 1970s, was a long-running ABC and WB sitcom in the 1990s that was followed by an ABC animated series. Sabrina will be reimagined by the Archie Comics/Moonscoop deal and the series will be produced in Moonscoop’s studio in L.A.

“Sabrina is a huge and important character for Archie, so we were very careful in how we brought her back to animation. The team at Moonscoop are the perfect partners for us,” said Archie co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “They know how to put together quality animation and they get the characters. We’re excited and honored to be working with such a talented group.”

Mike Young, the CEO of Moonscoop North America, said: “We can’t wait to collaborate on production of this fantastic new show. The Archie Comics library is a real treasure trove of brands ideal for bringing to animated life for television.”

Nicolas Atlan, the executive chairman of Moonscoop North America, added: “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch will have a top-quality look and feel that captures the essence of the original illustrations and stories, while giving them fresh appeal for international TV audiences.”
