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.
