Melissa Joan Hart brings her
unique magic to The WB this fall when Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, the
hit series with adults 18-34 and the number one-ranked show among female
teens, begins its fifth season.
This season of the bewitching coming-of-age comedy marks a turning point as
Sabrina (Hart) begins her new life in college at John Adams College, getting
her first taste of independence and the responsibility of being on her own.
Living away from home for the first time, with new friends and newfound
freedom, Sabrina will be faced with all of the challenges of young adulthood,
but life becomes a touch more complex when one just happens to be a witch. She
realizes that growing up, just like magic, isn't quite as easy as pointing
your finger.
When Sabrina moves into a house off campus, her eccentric aunts are determined
to remain in her life. Aunt Zelda (Beth Broderick) takes a position as a
professor at 
the
university, and Aunt Hilda (Caroline Rhea) buys the coffeehouse where Sabrina
works part-time. Salem (voice of Nick Bakay), a mischievous witch doing
penance as a black cat, divides his time between living at college and staying
with the aunts, depending upon what best serves him at the moment.
Sabrina finds that even in life
after high school, her social life
presents the greatest dilemmas. Harvey has broken up
with her, but she remains
close friends with Josh (David Lascher, Blossom), a pre-law student at
nearby Emerson College, who would like to be romantically involved with
Sabrina. She, however, is fearful that her otherworldly powers will get in the
way of a meaningful relationship.
While having fun is still Sabrina's credo, now she
has the new challenge of keeping her special powers a secret from the people
who live under the same roof. Three new characters who play a significant part
in Sabrina's new life 
at
college will be introduced this season: they are roommates Roxie (Soleil Moon
Frye, Punky Brewster), a tough, streetwise girl in marked contrast to
Sabrina's perky outlook; and Miles (Trevor Lissauer), who is into all things
extra-terrestrial but doesn't realize he has a witch living right under his
nose. 
Supposedly
keeping a watchful eye over these freshmen is Morgan (Elisa Donovan, Clueless),
a resident advisor who lives upstairs and is too busy finding her own trouble
to keep the students on the straight and narrow.
Paula Hart serves as executive
producer along with Bruce Ferber, who spent five years as executive producer
of Home Improvement. Sabrina, the Teenage Witch is produced by
Hartbreak Films in association with Viacom Productions Inc.
