TV Insider had een interview met showrunners Liz Kruger en Craig Shapirovan om te praten over het tweede seizoen van Charmed en wat we kunnen verwachten.
Are things better once you reach the top?
Maybe in some situations but as the second season of the Charmed reboot is going to show us, being in charge is not all it’s cracked up to be. That’s where we’ll find the Charmed Ones — half-sisters Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) when we see them again for their sophomore season on the CW.
One important thing to know is the show has gone through a bit of a transformation in its second season with new showrunners Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro (Salvation, Extant) and a bigger scale of problems that will require the Power of Three in a big way. And, yes, Harry (Rupert Evans) is also back and, as Kruger and Shapiro told us, we’ll get a bigger sense of who he is and get clued in on his origin story.
For more, let’s dive into our chat with the new showrunners to see just how different (and exciting) the second season of Charmed is set to be.
The Broadway performer is lending his talents to The CW reboot.
Where do we kick off Season 2 given the cliffhangers of the first season?
Liz Kruger: As you know, the Elders are dead and the Charmed Ones are essentially in charge. And though we all dream of being in charge at some point, the reality is that nothing quite prepares you for the weight of the world, and that’s what they’re going to be carrying this season. It turns out the events of season one have destabilized the Magical World, unbeknownst to them when we begin the new season. The Witch World is going to descend into chaos without the Elders protections and we find out that someone – or something – has put a target on the Charmed Ones backs. And that mystery is what’s going to play out in the first half of the season in a mind blowing way.
Craig Shapiro: From there, a lot of what we explore is a great jumping off point since this season is really going to be much more epic in scale. The whole tone of the show is going to be darker, moodier, edgier. And they’re going to explore the Magic World worldwide. It’s not just located in one place and there’s so much more going on than they understood in season one, in the Demon World, in the Witch World, and in the Magic World generally, as we meet all kinds of new magic characters along with demons and witches.
