The CW has officially announced that it has ordered a pilot script for a reboot of Charmed from Jennie Snyder Urman (Jane the Virgin), with TV Line reporting that the reimaging will take place in 1976 and follow three witches who are brought together to fight evil in a small New England town.
The reboot will feature an all new cast, and the site managed to get its hands on unofficial character descriptions for the three new leads:
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.
Charmed ran for eight seasons on The WB between 1998 and 2006, and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan. It was one of The WB’s biggest hits in terms of ratings, and remains very popular on video-on-demand and streaming services.
