Theyre from very similarly-named hometowns: Greendale andRiverdale, respectively.

Those plans were obviously scuttled, but Aguirre-Sacasa still considers a crossover a possibility in the future.
Im first and foremost a fan of these two towns, Riverdale and Greendale, Aguirre-Sacasa said.
I love when comic book characters cross over, so its a dream.
Right now, were focused on gettingSabrinaout there and making sureRiverdaleis as good as it can be.
So, Im hopeful!
Perhaps the most noticeable change is that Sabrinas cat Salem doesnt talk this time around at least not yet.
The 90s sitcom Salem is iconic.
Hes a meme, hes sassy Salem, Shipka said.
So we did something different.
We have three cats playing Salem: Shaq, Boomer, and Edward.
The vibe is hard to describe if you havent seen the show.
On that note, the panelists screened the first episode ofChilling Adventures of Sabrinafor panel attendees.
