volgens de laatste berichten is de Amerikaanse zender The CW bezig met een prequel serie over ‘Charmed’. Het zou zich afspelen in de jaren 80 waar drie heksen vechten tegen het kwaad in een dorp in New Engeland. Het zou hierbij waarschijnlijk gaan om familie van de Halliwel zusjes. De kan is waarschijnlijk klein dat Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty, Holly Mary Combs en/of Rose McGowan hun rol weer oppakken, in iedergeval in het begin van de serie……

More than three years after CBS passed on the Charmed reboot they were working on -which is still talked about a lot by fans all over the world- The CW has landed a prequel to the cult WB series produced by the team of critically acclaimed dramedy Jane The Virgin.

Jane The Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman, as well as producer Brad Silverman, are behind the project which will follow three witches who fight evil in a small New England town during the seventies/eighties (1976), possibly the Halliwells’ ancestors from the Warren Line, the most powerful line of witches in history introduced in the original show. The pilot script is written by Amy Rardin & Jessica O’Toole who already know a thing or two about the 80s and prequel series since they wrote for The Carrie Diaries, prequel of Sex & The City. They also worked on Jane The Virgin, Selfie & Greek.

Brad Silberling, who directed the pilot of Jane The Virgin and also A Series of Unfortunate Events movie (not the upcoming Netflix show) is attached to direct this one as well. CBS Television is the studio, with Propagate Content and Reveal Entertainment.

So don’t expect Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty, Holly Mary Combs or Rose McGowan to comeback, at least initially.

It’s not the only series reboot The CW is developing for next season. A Dynasty remake is also in the works.
