Anybody interested?

The CW is looking to bring back one of the signature drama on predecessor the WB. The network has ordered a script for Charmed, a reimagining of the original Aaron Spelling series set in 1976. The reboot hails from the team behind the CW’s dramedy Jane the Virgin — Jane creator/executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman, executive producer Ben Silverman, writers/co-executive producers Jessica O’Toole and Amy Rardin, the pilot’s director Brad Silberling and studio CBS TV Studios.

The new Charmed will be written by O’Toole & Amy Rardin based on a story by the duo and Snyder Urman. The trio will executive produce with Silverman through Propagate Content and Silberling who is set to direct.

My fiance is going to pass out when she hears this.

 

[Slayven]

Can't reboot perfection. They will make it all angsty and moody

 

[Badpsychometry]

But why?

 

[SpaceWolf]

I love how they already announced their intention to do this a few years back, which seemed to really annoy the original cast, leading to CW backing down.

Guess they've gotten cocky again.

 

[Indelible]

I remember enjoying Charmed back in the day, sounds like they just want to make it into another generic CW show. I haven't seen Jane the Virgin yet so I will wait and see how this turns out.

Idk Jane the Virgin is pretty awesome. I wouldn't call it angsty in the typical CW way at all.

JtV is a much better show than Charmed ever was technically speaking.

Although, there are some campy elements to that show that can't be replaced.

 

[Delio]

I'm more curious about casting.

 

[Slaythe]

Yo.

I won't tolerate a Buffy reboot BTW.

So let's hope that's the only thing they try to revive.

 

[Pluto]

I like that they're setting it in 1976.

 

[thecouncil]

I'm more curious about casting.

well, its Charmed and it's on the CW so i'm gonna guess... three impossibly attractive women.

 

[Mechanized]

I am human and I need to be looovvveedddd~

Watched this show religiously back in the day.

 

[LionPride]

Charmed already wasn't...good

Having the people behind Jane the Virgin tho. I'm in

 

[Darklor01]

I am human and I need to be looovvveedddd~

Watched this show religiously back in the day.

Honestly, I don't see this ending well, but we'll see.

 

[Aiii]

Was going to boo this, but I will watch anything made by the JtV people, even reboots of things I liked.

 

[Volimar]

Reboot makes me kind of sad. I'd prefer magical hijinks sending the future Halliwells back into the past so we can occasionally see the OG actresses.

I could definitely see the actresses making appearances even if not as themselves. Imagine one of them playing the main antagonist!

 

[DeathyBoy]

Yo.

You mean a second one, the series was a reboot.

 

[Slayven]

They could never top cole

 

[Volimar]

They could never top cole

Slay's all about that Balthazar.

 

[NMan]

I just watched for the nipples. Hopefully they bring them back.

 

[TheFlow]

Honestly cw is pretty good right so yea reboot that shit.

I kinda want a Buffy reboot after supernatural and vampire diaries ends

 

[Sojgat]

Whatever. Not like they could make it worse.

 

[rjinaz]

But cw shows have been awesome lately.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Cant wait to catch this as day time reruns 15 years from now

 

[rjinaz]

They could never top cole

my favorite thing about Charmed. They did his character wrong.

 

[Bear Force One]

Nope. We need a Charmed reunion (which the girls are for) not some also ran shit.

 

[Nakazato]

Oh ok Jane the Virgin is actually pretty good.

 

[Slayven]

my favorite thing about Charmed. They did his character wrong.

His arc and it completion was one of the best in the history of TV.

When they announced him for Dr.Doom I was so excited, cause all he had to do was be Cole. But they fucked it up

 

[Khezu]

I remember it getting kinda weird with like future versions of time stops kids.

Then a bunch of weird ass gimmick episodes.

I still watched way too damn much of this show.

 

[Carbonox]

This show gets replayed so fucking much from start to finish on E4 (UK) that I must have seen it through like 5 times.







Cole was the GOAT.




so was milano. can she come back?

 

[LakeEarth]

A CW show? Oh boy, I hope there is a love triangle in it of some kind!

 

[Aaronology]

my favorite thing about Charmed. They did his character wrong.

So true. The writers dropped the ball with him in a big way.

They could never top cole

I wouldn't mind topping Cole.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Yo.

I won't tolerate a Buffy reboot BTW.

So let's hope that's the only thing they try to revive.

They'll try, but just like Joyce Summers it ain't ever getting past my door no matter how loud it knocks.

 

[statham]

I'm down, cast it right tho.

&Bring back Buffy too, and make Xander the new Watcher.

 

[Joni]

Good, they need a new CBS show to fail next season.

 

[Slayven]

I'm down, cast it right tho.

&Bring back Buffy too, and make Xander the new Watcher.

Xander got to stay out of jail first

 

[Sesha]

so was milano. can she come back?

Alyssa Milano is too old to play a witch.

 

[Violet_0]

Alyssa Milano was the only reason why I watched the show

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Reboot reboot, or prequel?

 

[anaron]

I'm actually so happy this is happening and on the proper network for it. lol

 

[rjinaz]

Xander got to stay out of jail first

Hire his brother. Problem solved.

 

[Seesaw15]

Alyssa Milano's gonna be someones grandmother isn't she .

 

[hodayathink]

I'm down, cast it right tho.

&Bring back Buffy too, and make Xander the new Watcher.

Can't do it without Whedon (I mean, they can in a general sense, but if he's not involved you've lost the old audience, which is the majority of the reason you'd want to do it in the first place), and the last time they talked about it he got pretty pissed.

 

[cLOUDo]

Penny from BBT was in the show, right?
Maybe a cameo from her

 

[Diprosalic]

Penny from BBT was in the show, right?

yes but just in the last season.

 

[KHlover]

Penny from BBT was in the show, right?
Maybe a cameo from her

Yeah, near (in?) the final season I think.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Scrap this and do a Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (the Teenage Witch) reboot with the same team. I'll take my bucket of money in the form lotto scratchers, CBS productions. Thanks

 

[Dynasty]

Was watching this the other day on E4 UK, brung back memories. Reboot could be good if done right. Cole was awesome, especially when he turned crazy towards the end.

Also Paige>Prue.
