A new season of CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA is coming to Netflix Canada in early April 2019, as is the Netflix original film SOMEONE GREAT, starring Gina Rodriguez. SABRINA’s Kiernan Shipka also stars in another Netflix film, THE SILENCE, while CAPTAIN MARVEL’s Brie Larson will also be appearing in UNICORN STORE, a new original movie. And if you’ve been putting off watching CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, you better get on that because the Marvel film disappears from the service towards the end of the month.
