My husband wants a son, Sister Zelda. A male heir.
— Constance to Zelda[src]


Lady Constance Blackwood was a recurring character on Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. She was portrayed by Alvina August.

Lady Blackwood was a witch and the late wife of former High Priest Faustus Blackwood. Together, they had two children: Judith and Judas Blackwood. She was a member of the Church of Night and a teacher of Ancient Tongues and Sacred Scripture at the Academy of Unseen Arts, as well as Directrix of the Satanic Choir.

Early Life

Not much is known about Constance's early life or how she came to be Faustus' wife. However, during their marriage, she and Faustus have attempted to have children before, though she has suffered two miscarriages.

Throughout Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Part 1

Pregnant with Blackwood's Children

Constance teaches the choir class at the Academy of Unseen Arts. Sabrina Spellman joins her ranks. On Sabrina’s first day at the Academy of Unseen Arts, Lady Blackwood asks her to sing a few verses. Lady Blackwood is impressed with her vocals and comments that Prudence finally has some competition.[1]

Constance goes to the Spellman Mortuary for a routine checkup with Zelda, who listens to the heartbeat of Lady Blackwood's baby. Zelda sends Father Blackwood out of the room when he starts asking too many questions. Constance tells Zelda that she's lost two children before and that Blackwood wants a boy heir. Zelda hands her a jar to pee in and tells her that they'll know soon enough.[2]

Constance plans to kill Prudence

Constance calls Zelda while having a panic attack. She fears that she's going to lose her babies. Zelda asks if she's done any spellcasting lately. Lady Blackwood says that she has but that she had to. She looks at Sabrina and says that she knows what she means. Sabrina asks who is plotting against her. Lady Blackwood claims that it's the Weird Sisters. They wanted too hurt her child so Constance hurt them first. Kill one and the others are of no consequence, she concludes.

Constance reveals that Prudence is Blackwood's daughter

Later that night, Constance and Faustus attend a dinner at the Spellman's. Sabrina brings out dessert in which Hilda has added a truth potion. After everyone has a slice, Sabrina asks Father Blackwood why he reinstated the Feast of Feasts. He says that the Dark Lord showed him a revelation and that he was commanded to return to the old ways. Sabrina tells Prudence that she hopes she enjoyed her last supper. Everyone around the table tells Prudence that they're going to miss her except Lady Blackwood. Constance inadvertently reveals that she enchanted the box to choose Prudence as queen. She did it because Prudence is Father Blackwood's bastard and that makes her a threat to her children. Father Blackwood now has to summon the coven and draw for another queen.

They attend the Feast of Feasts ceremony where Prudence sits upon the throne of skulls. Father Blackwood walks in and begins to tell the coven that there will not be a Feast of Feasts but another witch named Mildred steps up, slits her throat and falls before the altar. The coven look to Father Blackwood for permission and after a moment of suspense, he gives it to them. The witches begin to attack the body and tear it apart as they eat.[3]
