Charmed is getting the reboot treatment, and one of the members of the original cast is not all that happy about the project. Holly Marie Combs went to her Twitter to express her unhappiness to her followers recently.
The CW is rebooting the popular series, which also starred Shannon Doherty and Alyssa Milano, and Combs shared several tweets about the idea. They are below.
We wish them well. #Charmed

Here’s the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work. Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye.

Guess we forgot to do that the first go around. Hmph. https://t.co/kDXLBefuSG

And another thing. Reboots or remakes, as we used to call them, usually have storylines so similar to the original that they are legally required to use the same title and buy the rights to that title. If it’s not similar than it’s just another show. A new show with a new title.

While some may not get why I take issue with the network that didn’t want to renew Charmed 12 years ago ‘reimagining’ it now let me just say I understand it perfectly. Also this kinda stuff given all that Rose and Alyssa have done lately…um no. Just No https://t.co/Vp2htLtdbR
