Good news for fans of Charmed. After months of rumors and suggestions, Deadline reports The CW has ordered a reboot of the popular WB TV series.
The original show followed three witches who used their powers for good and to protect innocent people from evil. The cast included 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.
For some time, rumors have circulated of a Charmed reboot on the horizon. Last year, original showrunner Brad Kern said he was not opposed to the idea of a revival and Holly Marie Combs told US Weekly in April that the original cast would love a reunion.
While the The CW‘s version of Charmed will not be a reunion per se, it will be a reimagined version of the original series set in 1976. The project is being executive produced by Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman and Ben Silverman, with Jessica O’Toole and Amy Rardin set to write. No word yet whether any of the original cast members will be involved.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Charmed? Would you watch the reboot?
I am big fan of the original Charmed. I even bought all 8 seasons on DVD and watched a number of times which is something I never do. They opened Up alot of minds and heart to a belief system that was thought to be bad and really isn’t.. I thank the original writers and cast members for such enlightenment. It makes no sense to reboot new people in a different time line. The charmed ones where born between 1970 and 1976.. It was Great and the mom played by Fiona Hughes.. It’s gonna be hard for people to wrap… Read more »

I really love charmed and I wished that the original charmed didn’t end so quickly, that the children of the charmed ones took over, and the original charmed ones would coach their children. The reboot also sounds good to.
I think it should be the next generation. Have the originals as guest star once in awhile.
Only if it had the original cast.
I am still a big fan of Charmed and if there is a reboot I think the cast and the fans should write i
Meh. There are better shows to reboot…BTVS anyone?
The reboot set in 1976? Sounds like a prequel set 22 years before the original series. Why set it in 1976? Why not set it in present day?
TVline has the full synopsis, which is terrible. The three women are not sisters and not related to characters of the original. The showrunner is from Jane the Virgin, so it’ll be terrible.
Only if it includes the original cast
