Last week, the CW announced that they will officially be doing a Charmed reboot. The orginal trio of sister witches was portrayed by Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, and Shannen Doherty. The main actresses made up the power of three which defeated demons from Balthazor to the Source of all Evil. In season four, Doherty’s chatacter was replaced by Rose Mcgowen. The outfits, witty dialogue, and unique storylines got us all hooked in the early 2000s.
It is confirmed that the show will be set in a New England town in 1976, about three decades before the original show began and will act as a prequel. The show will have the concept of power of three in it, but no word on if the original cast will make appearances in the show. According to a statement released by the CW, the reboot is to be a stand-alone show and, rather than being sisters, the women will be unrelated.
According to TVline, an online magazine, the unoffical character descriptions are as follows:
Tina: African American. Whip-smart, Tina is one dissertation (and one dissertation advisor) away from a PhD. She can be reserved, even standoffish, in uncomfortable situations, but she picks up on everything and she’s definitely making quick, accurate judgments about you.
Paige: Caucasian Cheerful, curvy, wholesome and as all-American as the apple pie she can’t wait to serve to the husband she has yet to marry. Paige’s main goal in life is to marry a rich doctor and be a wife and mother.
Annie: Caucasian. Intense, smart, and quick to anger. She dresses neutrally, though she could give two s–ts if you like her outfit, so stop wondering what “neutral” means. But under that tough façade, well… there is a fragility. A person desperate to be loved, and love.
Hopefully the show itself will be better than these descriptions because I know for one, that the Charmed fanbase has high hopes for the reboot.
Stay Charmed, my friends and feel free to check out Tvline’s article!
