Jenna Leigh Green, who who played Sabrina’s nemesis Libby Chessler, commented, “Love this! Let’s do it again in a couple weeks” along with a joking emoji.
Hart also shared a video on her Instagram Story of her former co-stars, telling her followers, “So we’re having a little Sabrina reunion. It’s Josh, it’s Harvey and Morgan and Sabrina!”
Sabrina the Teenage Witch ran from 1996 to 2003 for seven seasons. In 2018, Archie Comics character Sabrina got an edgy makeover when Netflix launched its Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which stars Kiernan Shipka as the titular witch and has a much darker tone than Hart’s series.
In 2019, Hart told E! News that while she’s happy to see Sabrina continue, she and her family likely wouldn’t tune in.
“I don’t think it really appeals to me,” she said. “I watched a little with Netflix. We did a social media campaign where I watched some of the episodes. But I don’t think it really appeals to me. My kids are a little too young for it and I’m too old for it.”
“I love the fact that the character lives on,” she added.
Hart echoed that statement in a separate interview, sharing that she doesn’t see herself appearing on the Netflix version of the show.
“I think it’s a different audience,” she said. “That audience doesn’t know me. The audience that’s watching that show is not the audience that watched originally, and I think it’s great. The thing is, let that character live on, that’s awesome.”
“I love that it’s so different, too,” she continued. “A lot of these reboots that happen are so closely related and it probably stings a little bit, but in this case it’s like, ‘You know what? There have been a ton of James Bond and there’s been a ton of people playing Batman, it’s just one of those characters that will probably go on.’ It’s great. It’s great to know that I was there to help start it.”
