Fresh on the heels of a stand-out comedic performance in last year’s Wonder Woman as Etta Candy, Lucy Davis has joined another comic book adaptation — Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
A report from Deadline has revealed that Davis, who’s perhaps best known for starring in the UK version of The Office, has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix series as Hilda Spellman, one of Sabrina’s magical aunts. The nicer and funnier of the two, her darker side can sometimes get the best of her — this suits the series perfectly, as it’s based on the dark, horrific comic of the same name from Archie Comics.

The Riverdale spin-off will see Sabrina struggle to come to grips with being half-witch and half-mortal, and she’ll have to protect her friends, family, and school friends from the evil forces that are all around her. The cast is rapidly growing for the show, with Sabrina’s cousin and her favorite teacher being revealed just yesterday.
Debuting this year on Netflix, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina Spellman, Michelle Gomez as Mary Wardwell/Madam Satan, Jaz Sinclair as Rosalind Walker, Chance Perdomo as Ambrose Spellman, and Lucy Davis as Hilda Spellman. Fans are still eagerly awaiting casting information for Zelda Spellman, as well as Sabrina’s boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle.
