Attention kids of the early 2000's -- a piece of your TV childhood could be coming back thanks to The CW and Warner Brothers. According to Variety, a new series based on the Sabrina the Teenage Witch character is in development and the team behind the Archie comic series-inspired show "Riverdale" is working on it.

If it makes it to production, the show could air in the '18-'19 season.

No news on whether there will be a wise-cracking cat.

Starring Melissa Joan Hart, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," ran for seven seasons starting in 1997 first on ABC and concluding on The WB (now The CW).
