## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a television series that explores the experiences of a protagonist who is half-human and half-witch. The narrative focuses on the character as she navigates the complexities of two distinct worlds, balancing the responsibilities of her mortal teenage life with the requirements of her family legacy, the Church of Night. Throughout the series, magic and mischief collide as the central character manages these conflicting identities. The term chilling, which appears in the title, is defined by various sources as something frightening, gravely disturbing, or capable of causing a chill. While the term is also associated with a streaming platform for horror fans and psychological stories involving ghostly mysteries and creeping dread, the series itself centers on the specific supernatural journey of the young witch. By existing between the mortal realm and her family’s occult traditions, the protagonist faces the challenges inherent in her dual nature. This premise forms the foundation of the show as it depicts the intersection of adolescent development and inherited magical obligations.
