It’s been over two decades since Sabrina the Teenage Witch cast its final spell on audiences, yet the charm of the Spellman family and their talking cat, Salem, still lives rent-free in the hearts of ‘90s kids. Premiering in 1996 and running for seven magical seasons, the series followed Sabrina Spellman—a half-witch, half-human teen juggling high school drama and magical mishaps. The show was witty, funny, and occasionally profound, exploring teenage identity through a supernatural lens. But what happened to the stars after the final credits rolled? Let’s find out where the iconic cast of Sabrina the Teenage Witch is today.
Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina Spellman)
Melissa Joan Hart was already a Nickelodeon favorite from Clarissa Explains It All when she took on the role that would define her career. After Sabrina, Hart continued to act and direct, appearing in films like Holiday in Handcuffs and God’s Not Dead 2. She later starred in the ABC Family sitcom Melissa & Joey (2010–2015) alongside Joey Lawrence, proving her comedic instincts were still razor-sharp. Beyond acting, she’s become a producer and mother of three, balancing Hollywood and family life with the same wit and optimism that made Sabrina unforgettable. In recent years, she’s even hosted a holiday-themed baking show and hinted at returning to the witchy world—if the right reboot came along.
Caroline Rhea (Hilda Spellman)
As Sabrina’s quirky, big-hearted Aunt Hilda, Caroline Rhea brought humor and warmth to every spell gone wrong. Since then, she’s built a diverse career as a stand-up comedian, talk show host, and actress. Rhea voiced Mom in Phineas and Ferb, starred in Sydney to the Max, and frequently returns to her comedy roots with tours across North America. Known for her quick wit and self-deprecating humor, Rhea has managed to stay relevant without losing her signature charm.
Beth Broderick (Zelda Spellman)
Beth Broderick’s portrayal of Aunt Zelda added the perfect balance of intelligence and discipline to the chaotic Spellman household. After Sabrina, Broderick took on more serious television roles, appearing in Lost, Under the Dome, and Sharp Objects. A seasoned actress both on stage and screen, she also dedicates time to humanitarian causes, particularly those supporting women and education.
Nick Bakay (Voice of Salem Saberhagen)
The sardonic black cat with a voice dripping in sarcasm—Salem—was voiced by Nick Bakay, a true comedic genius. While fans remember his hilarious one-liners, Bakay also worked behind the scenes as a writer and producer on shows like King of Queens and Young Sheldon. Although the animatronic cat sometimes stole the show, it was Bakay’s voice and timing that made Salem iconic.
Nate Richert (Harvey Kinkle)
As Sabrina’s on-and-off mortal boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle was the sweet, slightly clueless heartthrob of the series. After the show, Nate Richert stepped away from acting and pursued music, performing under his own name and releasing bluesy, soulful tracks. He now lives a quieter life out of the Hollywood spotlight but maintains a loyal fan base that still swoons at the mention of Harvey.
Jenna Leigh Green (Libby Chessler)
Every good teen show needs an antagonist, and Libby Chessler—Sabrina’s high school nemesis—filled that role perfectly. After the series, Jenna Leigh Green became a Broadway regular, starring in Wicked as Nessarose and touring globally. She also appeared in Bones and Ghost Whisperer, proving she’s more than just the mean girl from Westbridge High.
Martin Mull and Nate Richert (Mr. Kraft & Harvey’s circle)
Martin Mull’s portrayal of Principal Kraft gave Sabrina one of its most memorable authority figures. Since then, Mull continued his impressive comedy career, appearing in Arrested Development, Two and a Half Men, and Veep. His dry delivery remains unmatched.
Legacy and Magic Reborn
While the cast of Sabrina the Teenage Witch has gone their separate ways, their legacy endures. The 2018 Netflix reboot Chilling Adventures of Sabrina offered a darker retelling, but fans of the original still cherish its humor, optimism, and the warmth of the Spellman family. Unlike many teen sitcoms, Sabrina managed to evolve from high school hijinks to college life and beyond without losing its soul.
Today, the show enjoys a nostalgic revival through streaming platforms, and younger generations are discovering what made the original series so enchanting. Whether it’s Melissa Joan Hart’s charm, Salem’s sass, or Aunt Hilda’s chaotic spells, Sabrina the Teenage Witch remains one of the defining TV gems of the late ‘90s.
