What happens

Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a 1996 American television film adaptation based on the comic book series of the same name from Archie Comics. It preceded the Sabrina the Teenage Witch television series and premiered on Showtime on April 7, 1996. The only two actors who would appear in both the film and television series would be Melissa Joan Hart, whose character possessed a different surname (Sawyer) from her comic book and television counterpart (Spellman), and Michelle Beaudoin, who played Sabrina's best friend, named Marnie in the film and renamed Jenny for the television series. Also of note is the fact that, unlike the comics, which were set in the fictional town of Greendale, and the eventual television series (located in an equally fictional town named Westbridge), the television film was said to take place in Riverdale. This was the name originally used in the comics for the home of Archie and his group of friends. Although set in the United States, just like the comics and television series, the movie was shot entirely in British Columbia, Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
