If you've created your own advent calendar to count down the days until the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina holiday special (titled A Midwinter's Tale), then we have some recent casting news for both A Midwinter's Tale and season 2 that should help tide you over.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Mckenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House, I, Tonya, Captain Marvel, the third Annabelle film) will play a young Sabrina Spellman in the holiday special, which premieres December 14th on Netflix. According to EW, Netflix shared the following statement regarding young Sabrina's story:
“During our holiday special, we’ll get to see what Sabrina was like as a precocious tot. And while The Church of Night celebrates the Solstice, that doesn’t stop Li’l Sabrina from asking Santa for something special.”
EW also revealed two new faces that will be joining the cast as recurring guest stars in season 2, which is currently filming. First up is Alexis Denisof (known by many as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel), who will portray Adam Masters, the unsuspecting boyfriend of Mary Wardwell (Michelle Gomez): "Handsome and charming, Adam returns to Greendale after a stint overseas working with Physicians Without Frontiers—unaware that his fiancé has been taken over by the demoness Madam Satan.”
Oscar Wilde fans take note, because second up is Jedidiah Goodacre (The Originals), who will play Dorian Gray, "the owner of an exclusive nightclub called Dorian’s Gray Room." Dorian will be portrayed as an “enigmatic gentleman of an indeterminate age,” one who is “very good at keeping secrets, especially his own—a cursed portrait he hides from prying eyes.”
