Man, if they didn't premier this show on a Wednesday the internet would have exploded, lol.

I still think it should’ve premiered closer to Halloween probably the 26th.

This right here. Why are they premiering it right before Thanksgiving?

The only reason I can think of is didn't they drop Sabrina right around Halloween? Or are they trying to invoke Christina's legendary camp Thanksgiving play from the movies?

I think they figure it will be a family-friendly show for people to binge-watch over the long Thanksgiving weekend -- but I agree, expected it to drop weeks ago.

She needs to time things correctly to ambush Sarah Miller.

Family date, but also: the show was shoot extremely close to areas of where the war in the Ukraine broke out (Ricci said by the time they left there were places under threat of bombing seven miles away) and I get the impression it was delayed a few weeks because of that.

Probably because the two movies were released in November around now. (And maybe a little nod towards that glorious playhem.)

The animated ones were (early) October. I'll admit, I saw the first one, and found it perfectly enjoyable.

Maybe odd take but I don’t associate them with Halloween. They thrive off the comparison to normal people.

Reminds me of how Brooklyn 99 could have had it’s finale on 9/9 but they bumped it a week for a sports game

Yep. World hunger? Who cares? Does Wednesday premiere on a Wednesday? Everything is going to explode if it doesn't happen!

I know the name of the show. I want to know when it’s premiering.
