Where the Cast of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" Is Now, 30 Years Later

Thirty years after its debut, the cast of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" has embarked on diverse life paths, ranging from continued acting careers and screenwriting to political activism and even janitorial work.

The popular sitcom, which first aired in 1996 and ran for seven seasons, followed a teenage witch named Sabrina as she navigated adolescence, magic, and her magical family. The cast reunited in June ahead of the show's 30th anniversary, with star Melissa Joan Hart reflecting on the show's enduring popularity.

"It's still so loved. It's so international. So many people come to me and say it got them through a hard time or they learned English from the show," Hart told Daily Mail. "All these amazing things that you hear that, over time you hear it so much that you have to start to believe that it meant a lot to people."
