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?
I have been a fan over fifteen years and it’s not right for them to cancel the Real Cast it works out well with them Now making these changes will cause this new show to fail I’m sorry I will not view the new show they made tons of money with the old Cast bring them back and the world will watch
To my conclusion without the sisters (charmed ones)there won’t be a show.love the original show don’t replace them just continue with the next generation.
I am a die hard Charmed Fan i watched every episode for 8 years not including the re runs they continue to show i am highly dissapointed that atleast one or all of the Halliwell Sisters will not be spinning off the new Series Charmed the Bloodline Continues could of been a great series if the Sisters could of brung thr next generation (there Children). Into our living rooms every week the sisters had 7 children all together how fun that could of been . I am not interested . Dont be surprise if we see it CHOKE ANGELA H.… Read more »
I’m a big charmed fan ive watched them all but won’t be watching if original cast won’t be on it. You guys really shouldve put them in there you would’ve had a bigger audience
NO Charmed without the original no way will any one I know would watch it without them booooo to you
I would watch it .. I love the whole magical idea. It’s a world of make believe and fantasy that is no longer available.
I still watch Charmed everyday on TNT. I would love a reboot if not with the originals then the next generation. I’ve been waiting for years for that and I’m not the only one. Bring back Chris, Wyatt, etc
Without the original cast, it will never be Charmed. You can’t improve on greatness with the original. It will just be second class.
Ok charmed is not charmed without the sisters and the power of three element is based upon their family line so if the new charmed had nothing to do with the sisters or any one in the family line then it should not share the same name just for notarity
Have the original cast but with Wyatt and Chris and other children in it more,. I think series 8 ended far too quickly.
It really seems to be a very poor decision to use the Charmed brand and name and the story line really take away from the legacy the Charmed brand created. Please rethink the idea and tie the reboot to the original story and cast if possible. If you are expecting the same success the original show recieved it only makes sense.
Charmed is a great show! I bet the new show will be just as good, as I am sure the new cast with a different setting will be done just as well! Look forward to it!!
If it’s going to be set in the 70’s, it can’t feature the original cast or the original story line. Should be interesting. I’m a HUGE fan of Charmed!
What is the point of bringing it back if there is no original cast? It was the actors in the original series that made it what it was. What are they thinking?
Oh yea reboot should have the original cast love those girls,still watching charmed on TNT
I would love to see the original cast do the new one. Love them all.
