The first two series in television’s Archie Comics’ inspired “Archieverse” — “Riverdale” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” — are dark …

Thematically, the show is designed to be a “big city fairytale,” he continues. “We set ‘Katy Keene’ in what we like to call ‘the New York of the imagination’ — in that it’s the real New York, but it’s the New York that’s vanishing before our very eyes.

Where these series live does not define their tone as much as the characters do. Back when he was creating “Riverdale,” Aguirre-Sacasa purposely wanted to twist the iconic, nostalgic characters of Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge and the rest of the Riverdale High School gang into a more modern sensibility. When it came to “Sabrina,” it was a matter of leaning further into her witchcraft roots to explore the lore and tradition that surrounds such abilities.

Hale says she relates to Katy’s story of trying to make it in New York because it “reminded me of moving to L.A. and trying to make it as an actress,” but the draw of the friendship between the characters was also a big one for her. “It reminded me of ‘Sex and the City’ a little bit [and] ‘Gossip Girl,'” she says.

“If we want to get into what Josie’s going through and her psychology, we work with a songwriter who reads all of the scripts and gets in deep with Josie for her original music. If we can find a great song that speaks to our story, we make sure it speaks to the specific character in that moment but is also globally-driven,” Grassi says. As time goes on, more characters will sing, as well, especially Jorge/Ginger.
