After months of speculation, we can finally reveal that there's going to be a 'Charmed' reboot. TVLine were the first to get ahold of the news and they've also revealed new details about the CW show. Instead of Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige however, we'll see characters Macy, Mel and Madison.
Whilst not much is known about the upcoming series, what we do know is that Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin, the same minds behind 'Jane the Virgin', will be the executive producers. The series will also be set in the present and has been described as a "a fierce, funny, feminist reboot".
Here's what we know about the characters so far:
Macy: "A witty, intense science nerd, Macy - who is in her late 20s - is a Ph.D. in quantum physics who's moving with her boyfriend Galvin to Hilltowne, Michigan, to work in the university lab. Macy has reason to believe that she is the sister of Mel and Madison. Her power is telekinesis".
Mel Pruitt: "A strong-willed feminist, she feels deeply and is a bit controlling. Mel - who is in her mid 20s and a lesbian - is the sister of Madison. In the wake of a tragic accident, the grieving Mel becomes angry, defiantly unkempt, even violent, pushing away those who might help her, including her girlfriend, Detective Soo Jin. Mel's power is time-freezing".
Madison Pruitt:"Mel's younger sister (she's 18-ish), an athletic (pilates, cheerleading) college student pledging a sorority, Madison is the opposite of her feminist sister with a desire to fit in. Madison is horrified to learn she is a witch. Her power is hearing people's thoughts".
The witches will be joined by Harry, their advisor of sorts (Leo in the original series).
A new series with new characters
The CW's decision to reboot the show came as a surprise given that the original cast, particularly Holly Marie Combs, were all pretty reluctant to return.
