‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ Teases a New Netflix Holiday Special
It seems like nothing – even the Satanic panic of a lawsuit – can keepĀ Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s festive spirits down.
After a wildly popular and critically successful debut, it was announced this morning via social media that audiences can expect to spend the holidays with their new favorite coven. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will premiere a brand new holiday special on December 14th on Netflix.

While we don’t have any details as to what the holiday special will entail (fingers crossed for Krampus), you can bet that it’ll have all the witchy wonder of the Netflix original series – but maybe with a bit more snow.
It makes sense in the timeline of the show that we’d be coming up on a holiday special. The series opens right around Halloween with the subsequent episodes moving along the calendar and into November.
Series creator (and writer of the comic series on which the series is based) Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared his own teaser with a Happy Solstice season’s greeting to promote the episode.
Praise Satan! I mean, Praise Santa! @sabrinanetflix has a X-mas Special dropping on 12/14!! I love this episode of #CAOS!! @netflix š®š¹š¼š¼šā”ļøāļøš„š·ā ļø pic.twitter.com/A5DPs4Dajv

The new stand-alone episode isĀ reportedly titled “A Midwinter’s Tale” (which could be a riff on Shakespeare’s TheĀ Winter’s Tale).
So there you go. If you’ve been watching (and loving)Ā Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, make sure to mark this on your calendar. If you haven’t had the chance to binge the entire first season just yet, there’s still time to catch up before the December 14th festivities!
And if you’re still worried about that lawsuit, you might want to read The Church of Satan’s response to The Satanic Temple’s anger towards the series (because yes, they are two different groups).

Director Louis Leterrier Creating New Sci-Fi Horror Film “11817”
According to an article from Deadline, Louis Leterrier (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) is about to shake things up with his new Sci-Fi horror film 11817. Leterrier is set to produce and direct the new Movie. 11817 is penned by the glorious Mathew Robinson (The Invention of Lying).
Rocket Science will be taking the film to Cannes in search of a buyer. While we don’t know much about what the film looks like, Deadline offers the following plot synopsis.
“The film watches as inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who ā or what ā is keeping them trappedā¦”
āDirecting projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey,ā said Leterrier. āItās what excites me about 11817ās wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences wonāt forget.ā
Leterrier has made a name for himself in the past for working on beloved franchises. His portfolio includes gems such as Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of The Titans, and The Transporter. He is currently attached to create the final Fast and the Furious film. However, it will be interesting to see what Leterrier can do working with some darker subject material.
