If you’re in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, or maybe just vibing in another astral plane, here’s how to watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch online: The full series is available on Paramount+, Pluto TV (for free, with ads), and Apple TV (for purchase). But before you grab your remote, let’s talk about why this 1990s classic is still so beloved.


More than a teenage witch

Sabrina the Teenage Witch wasn’t just another high school sitcom with a magical twist. It was a full-fledged pop culture moment. Whether it was Sabrina accidentally casting spells that went sideways, her two aunts giving top-tier chaotic energy, or celebrity cameos that now scream 1990s nostalgia, the show was (and still is) pure fun.

Remember when the Backstreet Boys stopped by or when Coolio (yes, that Coolio) showed up in a magical PSA? Britney Spears, RuPaul, and even NSYNC all made appearances, solidifying Sabrina as a time capsule of everything iconic from that era.

Even if you’ve never watched a single episode, you probably know Salem. The talking black cat with a dramatic flair and the best one-liners in sitcom history? That’s him. He was once an all-powerful warlock, but after an attempted world domination stunt (oops), he got sentenced to life as a cat because magic justice is oddly specific.

Salem is bi-canon. Even if labeled as bi-curious (a sign of the times. Yes, in the 1990s).

Salem wasn’t just comic relief; he was pure chaos. He had political ambitions, a love for snacks, and a knack for roasts that would put any stand-up comedian to shame.

If you’ve seen that viral image of a black cat calmly filing his nails while radiating pure judgment, congrats, you’ve already met him.

That meme perfectly captures his energy — effortlessly shady, slightly villainous, and always above the drama.


Celebrities, magic, and pop culture chaos

Coolio literally stepping out of a dead-end alley? Check. Britney Spears casually dropping by to remind everyone why she ruled the late 1990s? Double check. Sabrina the Teenage Witch had an almost supernatural ability to bring in A-list guest stars, often in the weirdest, most delightful ways.

Boy band fever? Backstreet Boys and NSYNC both made appearances. Peak TV legend? RuPaul graced the show with his presence. Future pop-punk royalty? Avril Lavigne stopped by. And if that’s not enough, we even had Usher, Paula Abdul, and Aaron Carter.

Speaking of Usher, yes, it's the same Usher who later collaborated with Jungkook of BTS on the Standing Next to You remix in December 2023.

The list goes on, but let’s keep a little mystery. Some things are better discovered at the moment.


Seasons and episodes of the show

Sabrina the Teenage Witch had a solid seven seasons, running from 1996 to 2003, with 163 episodes. The early seasons focused more on Sabrina’s high school years, while later seasons followed her into college life and adulthood.

The series even had a few spin-offs and TV movies, such as Sabrina Goes to Rome and Sabrina Down Under because nothing says peak 1990s like sending characters to random vacation destinations for magical hijinks.


This is not the dark Netflix version

If you’re expecting something along the lines of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (the Netflix retelling), take a deep breath and put away the hexes. Unlike its darker, horror-inspired counterpart, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is pure 1990s comfort TV. Lighthearted, goofy, and all about fun.

There are no eldritch horrors lurking in Greendale, no cult-like devotion to Satan, and definitely no soul-crushing existential dread.

Just classic sitcom magic, where the biggest problems usually involve a spell gone wrong and a lesson learned by the end of the episode.

It’s the kind of show that feels like a warm hug from the past, perfect for when you just want to relax and enjoy some nostalgia.
