The late ’90s were full of popular TV series that have stood the test of time as nostalgia classics, with Melissa Joan Hart giving fans a taste of the past. The 49-year-old actor had a fun night out with her formerSabrina the Teenage Witch costars and had fans remembering the beloved series.
In 1996, Hart was in her early 20s when she played the infamous role of Sabrina Spellman on the ABC series. The fantasy sitcom starred her in the leading role of a teenage witch living with her two 600-year-old aunts, Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Zelda. It’s been over 20 years since the series came to an end, but fans and the original cast haven’t forgotten their close bond.
Hart posted on Instagram a reunion selfie with her former Sabrina the Teenage Witch costars Beth Broderickand Nate Richert. While all smiles for the camera, she captioned the photo, “When the magic fam comes together!”

Their small reunion had fans feeling nostalgic, with one fan commenting, “I’ve been watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch awhile back till now, I’m still binge watching. Best show.”
“YAAAAAY!!! You all make me SO HAPPY !!! I am GLAD everyone is doing WELL. GO TEAM !!!” said another.
Another chimed in saying, “I watch this show when I’m sad, anxious, happy, need a laugh, worried, sick…best comfort show!”
Many fans commented on how they have rewatched and binged the show over the years. Other fans even commented on their dire need for a reboot series with the original cast. One fan even suggested a reboot involving Sabrina and Harvey having twins, with the show focusing on their being raised with magical powers.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch ended its run after seven seasons in 2003. The reboot idea could work as the series finale revealed that Harvey and Sabrina find each other again, just as she was ready to say “I Do” to someone else. In the end, her high school sweetheart was her true love all along. The chance of a reboot or series continuation is unlikely. Hart has previously commented that they have no plans to bring back the original sitcom series, and for good reason.
“There’s too much red tape to get through. I mean, I think we would all have a lot of fun, but I don’t think that that necessarily makes for a good show just because we’re having a blast. I think that it’s really hard to reboot something, do it smart,” she said at That’s 4 Entertainment 90s Con.
Hart adds that another reason is due to fan expectations after wanting a reboot for so long. The actor says that they are unlikely to “ever make anyone happy” and live up to what they truly want.
