Hier is deel 2 van Showrunners Jeffery Lieber, Nicki Renna en Joey Falco interview met Ksite.com.

Last week here at KSiteTV, we posted Part 1 of an interview with the new Charmed showrunners Jeffrey Lieber, Nicki Renna, and Joey Falco as we went in-depth into the new season of the CW series… today, it’s time to share Part 2, as we talk about some other elements, including Kaela’s bus, this season’s villain, and the hopeful possibility of a Charmed Season 5. A new episode called “Unlucky Charmed” airs at 8PM ET/PT tonight (March 25)… photos from that episode can be found here! Enjoy the interview.

KSITETV’S CRAIG BYRNE: Can you talk about Kaela’s bus and how that came about in the writers’ room?
JEFFREY LIEBER: Anyone can create a bus that’s painted, but it takes a crew to figure out how to make it work. We needed two of them; one that ran, and one that didn’t, and we had to find them all over Canada.

But again, we wanted to introduce Kaela as different, but the same. She’s not living in the house. She’s not living in, say, Macy’s room. She is occupying her own space with her bus, and that was important to us, because it allowed us to keep the tension between the three of them, which is “at what point does she become fully integrated, if ever? How does she hold on to her own spirit while trying to integrate with them as fighters and protectors? And how does the bus always give us a reminder of Kaela as artist and Kaela as mechanic and Kaela as someone who didn’t grow up in a with a nuclear family… she’s got such a different past. That bous is always a reminder that she that no matter how much we integrate her, she’s always got a part of herself that is slightly different.

Jeffery Lieber, Nicki Renna en Joey Falco hebben een interview gehad KSite.com over het nieuwe seizoen van ‘Charmed’ Eerder deze maand kwam deel 1 op hun website.

The CW’s Charmed has a new trio of “Charmed Ones” in front of the camera as Lucy Barrett‘s Kaela joins Melonie Diaz (Mel) and Sarah Jeffery (Maggie) on the show…. but, behind the scenes, there’s also a new Charmed trio in the new showrunning team of Jeffery Lieber, Nicki Renna, and Joey Falco.

As a new episode titled “You Can’t Go Home Again” airs tonight (March 18) at 8PM ET/PT on The CW, KSiteTV’s Craig Byrne had the opportunity to speak with the new Charmed showrunners about their love of the show, new situations for the Charmed Ones, and more, including some talk about a connection to the original series. You can see Part 1 of the interview below, and more is coming next week!

Can you introduce yourselves and also share what makes Charmed a special show and franchise to you?
JEFFREY LIEBER: The thing that is sort of amazing about the show, and specifically this season that we’re launching, is [that] it’s able to do two things at one time, which is one, embrace this “anything can happen,” wacky [vibe]… in the first episode of the season, we turned one of our characters into a [paper] cutout, and we sort of embraced the idea that once an episode, we’re going to do something that weird, and fun, and like, “what the hell is going on?” And in the same show, we get to deal with real human things, which is about the connection between sisters, and in this case, how one returns from grief after something horrible happens. There are very few shows that allow you both of those palettes at the same time time, which is incredible creativity on the one side, and a grounded human storytelling on the other.

NICKI RENNA: I come from three girls. Sisters are very important. What I love about this, that is really special to me, is that we have a show about three women that are our leads, but also that they’re sisters, which to me is the juiciest, stickiest sort of inter dynamics amongst characters that you can set up, because to me, there’s just nothing like the power of sisters and their connection. And, we’re exploring not only their relationship between these three women, but they’re exploring their power, both in the real world and in the magical world, in a way that really feels real, complicated, compelling, entertaining, and emotional.

JOEY FALCO: As someone who kind of came of age as a teenager during the late 90s, obsessively watching Buffy and Charmed when it came out, and shows like that, it’s always been a dream to write for a show in this wheelhouse: this funny, dramatic, emotional, supernatural series. It’s now been four years on this show. It’s been a total dream to finally do that, and then with this season, to do it in a way that’s even more personal than ever, with Jeff and Nicki and I at the at the helm of it. It’s a total dream.

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Charmed Season 4 Episode 2 “You Can’t Go Home Again.”]

Kaela (Lucy Barrett), the newest Charmed One, may not want anything to do with Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) at the beginning of the latest episode, but by the end, she changes her mind.

After Kaela’s targeted for using magic around humans — she’s still trying to gain control of her abilities — her best friend ends up nearly paying the ultimate price. But after Kaela gets a grip on her manifesting ability to save Harry (Rupert Evans) and Jordan (Jordan Donica) from a bomb and together the men save her friend’s life, she decides to stick around.

Showrunners Jeffrey Lieber, Joey Falco and Nicki Renna tease what’s ahead.

How did you want to go about bringing Kaela into the fold?
Joey Falco: Obviously we’re doing something a little different this season and than the original show did, which is since Kaela’s identity is such a mystery and her connection to the other two, what makes her part of the sisterhood, is such a mystery, something we’ll be playing out through the whole season, it creates this really different dynamic where they have to decide, how do we all fit together? How do we work together as a team when we do not even know if we’re sisters? That’s the emotional story we’re playing with. Mel is more welcoming [since] she’s come a long way over the last four years after learning her relationship with Macy, but Maggie misses her sister so much.

Holly heeft tijdens een conventie laten weten dat er van haar verwacht werd dat ze een push-up BH zou dragen omdat haar decolleté niet groot genoeg zijn zijn in vergelijking met haar co-ster. Iets wat ze pertinent geweigerd heeft op te doen en daardoor zelf vaak geen BH aan had tijdens scenes.

“They wanted me to wear a big, padded push-up bra and I was like, ‘no,'” Holly Marie Combs said at the first-ever 90s Con on Saturday

Holly Marie Combs took a major stand while working on Charmed. During the show’s 90s Con panel on Saturday, Combs revealed she often didn’t wear a bra on set — but there’s a reason for that.

“They tried to be gentle about it, but … the messages would come down through the ranks. And then there would be, you know, that unfortunate person who had to deliver the message to you,” Combs, 48, recalled. “Usually, it was down to wardrobe. They were, like, setting these different bras in my dressing room and I was like, ‘Those belong to somebody else.’ ”

“They wanted me to wear a big, padded push-up bra and I was like, ‘no,’ hence why there are so many scenes of me not wearing a bra whatsoever,” she continued. “Which I apologize for but at the moment, at the time, it was very important.”

The panel’s host, Christy Carlson Romano, asked whether they provided an “alternative option” for her, but Combs replied: “No, nothing.” Comparing herself to her costars Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan, Combs explained that “their boobs was [sic] enough” and “not everybody needed to have” a push-up bra.

Charmed ran for eight seasons on The WB from 1998 to 2006. Created by Constance M. Burge, the series followed three sisters as they discover they are witches and ultimately choose to use their powers to fight evil forces.

Elsewhere in Saturday’s panel, Combs opened up about her frustrations with her character Piper.

“She became really exhausting around like season five, and so she mellowed out more by design and my needs … But she was growing,” she said. “She needed to mellow. Like literally, I just look at so many scenes where I’m, like, crying about [my costar] Brian [Krause’s character] again. Crying about Brian, that was my job.”

Combs also provided a hilarious tidbit about fellow series alum Shannen Doherty, who only appeared on the first three seasons before McGowan, 48, came on board. According to Combs, the 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was the biggest “pranker” on set.

“She did bad things and she messed with the wrong department. She messed with the transpo department,” Combs revealed.

“They actually put a fake winning lotto ticket in her trailer. Yeah, they had a war,” she said, explaining how Doherty often bought lottery tickets. “They, like, shook her trailer and made her think it was an earthquake. It got ugly. She did, like, bad toilet things, she did, like, silly spray things in cars and she took a golf cart many, many, many, many times and she would just leave.”


Lucy heeft een interview met Entertainment Weekly gehad over haar nieuwe rol in ‘Charmed’

Even when magic is involved, history has a way of repeating itself.

The original Charmed notably replaced one of its original Charmed ones, Shannen Doherty’s Prue, with half-sister Paige (Rose McGowan) when Doherty exited the series at the end of season 3. Now, as the CW reboot of the witchy series enters its fourth season, it has a new Charmed one, too.

Replacing Madeleine Mantock’s Macy, who met a tragic end in the season 3 finale, Lucy Barrett joins the series as Kaela, which is short for Michaela, maintaining the “M” theme in the same way the original series did with “P” names.

The strange parallel between the series isn’t lost on Barrett. “It’s really cool,” she tells EW. “Everything is cyclical, and it is pretty full circle. There’s definitely some magic going on.”

Barrett’s first episode, Friday’s “Not That Girl,” introduced us to Kaela, her powers of manifesting (turning her drawings and art into physical objects), and her shadowy past, which includes being left on the doorstep of a fire station as a baby and a bout with cancer.

We called up Barrett to get all the details on assuming the mantle of the new “Charmed” one, how exactly Michaela’s powers work, and whether it’ll be smooth sailing for her to become the newest member of this trio.

Can you tell us a bit more about Michaela and what kind of person she is and some of her background?
Michaela is adopted. She has known that she’s adopted since she was a baby. She was left at a fire station in Philadelphia. She’s very, very close to her parents. But she’s had a hard life. She survived leukemia, and that in and of itself has a really cool connection to the story and how she came to be a Charmed one. But with all that she’s been through, she’s a very talented artist and she has channeled her trauma and her experiences into her artwork. Her magic is through her artwork, she’s able to conjure things. She can draw anything and manifest it. Whereas Macy was very together and really smart and academic, Kaela is the opposite of that. Kaela is artistic and messy and a little bit all over the place, but super lovable. Spontaneous. Full of energy. I think people are really going to enjoy her. I got to watch the first episode the other night. She just brings this tone to the show that’s so fun and refreshing.

De Amerikaanse TV zender Fox heeft besloten de nieuwe serie van Ser’Darius Blaine ‘The Big Leap’ geen tweede seizoen te geven door tegenvallende kijkcijfers en slechte reviews. Het gehele eerste seizoen van de serie dat uit 11 afleveringen bestaat is te bekijken via Disney+.

Fox has opted not to proceed with a second season of The Big Leap. The ballet drama-comedy, starring Scott Foley and Simone Recasner, had an 11-episode freshman run, which ended in December, with the network at the time deferring a decision on the show’s future until the spring.

It is one of two Fox freshman dramas on the bubble after soft limited runs, along with Our Kind Of People, which I hear looks promising for a second season due to a strong showing on Fox’s streamer Tubi.

With its music, stage performances and aspirational themes, The Big Leap was a favorite of Fox brass during the development process and arrived with a strong pre-launch buzz, drawing parallels to Fox’s breakout hit Glee.

But The Big Leap did not follow Glee‘s ratings trajectory. Linear ratings were soft, with the dramedy ranking as Fox’s lowest-rated series this season.

Still, Fox brass liked creatively The Big Leap, which scored a rare for a broadcast series 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The network met with The Big Leap team to hear their Season 2 pitch before making the final decision.

The Big Leap was a show-within-a-show that took viewers on a journey of self-acceptance, body-positivity and empowerment at any age. It was described as a modern tale about second chances, chasing your dreams and taking back what’s yours. The show revolved around a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck characters attempting to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of Swan Lake.

The Big Leap was produced by 20th Television and Fox Entertainment. Liz Heldens created the series inspired by the British reality series Big Ballet. She executive produced with the show’s director, Jason Winer, and Sue Naegle of Annapurna TV.

De serie Charmed, die draaide om de drie Halliwellzussen die als heksen tegen demonen vechten, was destijds een dikke hit. De serie verbrak record na record en in 1998 was het de langstlopende serie met enkel vrouwen in de hoofdrol. Impressive, right? Toch laat actrice Alyssa Milano haar kinderen de serie (nog) niet kijken.

Veel zoenscènes
Acht seizoenen lang speelde Alyssa Milano de rol van Phoebe Halliwell. Samen met actrice Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell) was ze daarmee de enige die in alle 179 afleveringen van de serie te zien was. En daarin zoende ze veel mannen. No biggie, maar het is wel een van de redenen waarom Alyssa haar kinderen er nog niet naar heeft laten kijken.

“Nee, ze hebben Charmed nog niet gezien. Ze hebben Charmed om vele redenen nog niet gezien”, deelt de actrice daarover op haar TikTok-kanaal. Ze vindt de serie simpelweg nog niet geschikt voor haar 10-jarige zoon Milo en 7-jarige dochter Elizabella. “Ik zoen heel veel mannen in Charmed. Zoveel mannen die niet hun vader zijn. Zo veel mannen. Dus, nee.”

Croptops
Daarnaast is er nog een reden waarom Alyssa haar dochter de serie nog niet wil laten zien. “Mijn dochter is zeven”, begint ze, “en het enige dat ze wil dragen zijn naveltruitjes. Charmed heeft ze nog niet eens gezien. Ik vertel haar de hele tijd: ‘Nee, je wilt geen naveltruitje dragen’. Als ze Charmed kijkt, kun je je wel voorstellen dat ze daarna zegt: Mamma, jij droeg naveltuitjes’.”

Overigens is het heus niet zo dat haar kinderen nooit iets van Alyssa’s werk zien. Zo bekeek de actrice laatst de trailer van de film Brazen met haar dochter. “Uiteraard liet ik haar niet de hele film zien. Ze zei toen: ‘Mama, ik kon wel zien dat je die kus fakete’. Ik denk dat ze me een slechte actrice vond”, vertelt ze grappend.
