Sorry, Charmed fans. Recently, CW boss Mark Pedowitz revealed the original cast of the WB series will not be involved in the network’s upcoming reboot, The Wrap reports.
Last week, we reported the The CW is rebooting the WB dramedy, which followed three witches who use their powers for good. The show starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Dorian Gregory, and Julian McMahon. The series ran for eight seasons before it ended in 2006, making it The WB’s second-longest running drama.
According to Pedowitz, the new Charmed will be set in the 1970s and have no connection to the story in the original series:
At this point, it is a self-contained, self-sustained show. There is the power of three element in there, but at this time, it is a very standalone show.”
On Twitter, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano reacted to news of the reboot:
We wish them well.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Charmed? Do you think the reboot should feature the original cast?
Here it is the new charms I tried to watch it and I could not get into it because it was not the same it did not have the original characters it’s on its 4th season and the ratings is dropping you should have brought back the original characters and their children but I truly think you did mess up when y’all did not bring back the original characters that played Phoebe, Pipper, Page, P
I think they should bring back the old cast
