Melissa Joan Hart and 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' Cast 23 Years after the Series Premiered
The fantasy comedy series followed the journey of a suburban girl from the day she founds out about her magical powers on her sixteenth birthday until she graduates from college, and it was brought to life by a great cast.
“Sabrina, The Teenage Witch” aired for seven seasons from 1996 to 2003, and sixteen years after the series’ finale we wonder what has become of the careers of the members of this ensemble cast that include people from different generations.
The premise of the show is so appealing that Netflix developed a reboot version of the series titled “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” which debuted in 2018, but it only makes us feel even more nostalgic about the original cast.
MELISSA JOAN HART
The 43-year-old actress played Sabrina Spellman, a novice witch that has to cope with the typical issues of any American teenager while at the same time going through the necessary tests to become an experienced and responsible sorcerer.
