Sabrina the Teenage Witch chronicles the adventures of Sabrina Spellman, a girl who discovers on her 16th birthday that she is a witch. The show includes contemporary pop cultural references, but also features fictional history (often explained as secrets hidden from mortals by witches) and science fiction elements.
