Cast "Sabrina" Today...

I've been rewatching various episodes recently (particularly the Christmas ones) and it got me thinking about which actors would possibly be good choices if the show was new and airing today. I'm not suggesting (or even want, frankly) some sort of reboot/remake with new people; this is just hypothetical fun.

I tried to keep my choices 'realistic' in the sense that it's unlikely an A-List movie star like Angelina Jolie would sign on to a TV sitcom to play Aunt Zelda or whatever haha! And I also chose actors based on what I've seen of them in various other projects that I feel would make them a good fit for these characters.

It has been trickier than I first thought, so I'm gonna have to do this seasonally. I'm not that familiar with the current generation of young/teen actors, so I've had to go the typical Hollywood route and extend the ages into the mid-20s range (which to be fair the original show did too!).

I wish they could've done an adult Sabrina.
You know like Bewitched.

I suppose they attempted to do that when they removed the Aunts in the final season, had a job for a few episodes and the wedding episode.
I know about American High School's they finish when they are 18, and by season 6 she should've been 20.
But they weren't allowed to remove "teenage witch" which was really stupid.

Have you seen the imdb picture of Harvey woah.
Sorry i'm not being shallow, just saying about how different he looks now.

If anything I'd rather have the actual cast return instead of a new group of people.

Forget a reunion show, Lemonbush. It ain't gonna happen.

Maybe I should've bolded this part of my post:
