6) Or, hopefully, both. It can't be called Charmed if it's all dark or all light. But it has to be the wonderful humor of the earlier seasons when we were laughing WITH them, not like the latter seasons when we were laughing AT them! SOOO hoping for a true dramedy like early Charmed and like I hear JtV is, which gives me hope.
7) From what I've read, it sounds more like an S4-8 reboot with the half-sister and the Source and all the other stuff as compared to S1-3. Am I right?

Thanks for the info, willow. I can't wait until September!
Imagine if the the sisters were descended from the secret child of Melinda Warren and Matthew Tate, or something similar. I agree with Es, though, it will probably be through a never-before-mentioned relative. Although I, too, would love it if they were descended from Past Prue, or Grams' estranged brother.

I'm so out of the loop with the reboot news. April is always so busy I have several birthdays with family.
But now I wonder if this reboot or sequel will ignore the final episode of Charmed. Unless they are truly family members from one of the Pardon my Past cousins or some other secret family member from the Warren line.
But because it is now 12 years since the final episode of Classic Charmed aired. Did the original Charmed ones give up their powers or die?
Curious if we might get appearances from the original cast. Could Shannen return as Prue as a whitelighter? We all know we won't see Rose back as Paige.
Maybe both Shannen and Alyssa might agree to return?
Remembering Shannen agreed to return to the 90210 reboot or new series, she might seriously consider returning for this story. But I think for Shannen it all depends on the script, she will want to see what she's signing on for. Alyssa I see as the first one to agree to cameo.

Hello everyone! I’m a new member of this forum but not of the Charmed community. w1llow I have some questions about the pilot: 1) what about the Book of Shadows? It’s always the same or it’s a different one? Can you describe it? 2) is there a line about the Halliwell sisters or just about Melinda Warren? 3) we’ll see the Source’s face? 4) can you tell us how each sister will use her own power? 5) Demons have demonic face (like seasons 1-4) or human face (like seasons 5-8)? 6)do you think it will be a dark series or a light one? Thank you in advance 😊 1) Well I've only seen the script, but from what is said it sounds like it's the same. However I haven't seen the actual prop. 2) There's mention of Melinda Warren and that there were Charmed Ones before them. 3) Not in the pilot, no. It looks like it'll be possessing people. 4) Just want to clarify this one- do you mean how each sister uses her power in the pilot or how they activate their powers? 5) Demonic face, human form. 6) Hmm... somewhere in the middle maybe? It's definitely more like an early Charmed story than a later season, but there's plenty of levity in it as well. I'd say it's leaning a bit more towards dark, but I wouldn't say it's any darker than anything in OG season 1.
6) Or, hopefully, both. It can't be called Charmed if it's all dark or all light. But it has to be the wonderful humor of the earlier seasons when we were laughing WITH them, not like the latter seasons when we were laughing AT them! SOOO hoping for a true dramedy like early Charmed and like I hear JtV is, which gives me hope. 7) From what I've read, it sounds more like an S4-8 reboot with the half-sister and the Source and all the other stuff as compared to S1-3. Am I right? 6) Yes, I'd say that's pretty spot on. I can definitely feel Jennie Urman's sense of dramedy in the script, which is why I was happy to hear she was on the project. Her style is a very good fit for Charmed and reminds me of early seasons. 7) Well Macy is obviously reminiscent of Paige with the whole "long lost sister" thing, although they find out they're witches together which makes that a little different. Not sure about The Source yet, just because it's hard to know how central it'll be based on the brief tease we get. But perhaps. Thanks for the info, willow. I can't wait until September! Imagine if the the sisters were descended from the secret child of Melinda Warren and Matthew Tate, or something similar. I agree with Es, though, it will probably be through a never-before-mentioned relative. Although I, too, would love it if they were descended from Past Prue, or Grams' estranged brother. You're very welcome Deano. I look forward to finding out more too. This reboot/sequel seems better than I thought 😍 4) how each sisters use their powers in the pilot?

!SPOILERS! Director and executive producer Brad Silberling reveals that the original's theme song will be featured in the pilot and that the key demon they will go up against will be a sexual predator posing as a professor at the university.

I like what Silberling said about the reboot. I think that every show that gets the reboot treatment should - to some extent - have a reason to come back (and I don't mean money for the network). For me, bringing back shows like Charmed or Will & Grace makes sense these days - if done correctly. I always liked Charmed when it told stories about relevant topics or life experiences - wrapped in a supernatural plot. I guess I really love metaphors.

Do we think 'How Soon is Now?' will actually be the theme song, or is Silberling suggesting it will just be somewhere in the background score? Personally, I wouldn't mind a new theme. I would actually be open to more abstract/stylistic credits, rather than the more traditional "headshot" style.

OMG all of this remind me original pilot! Thank you w1llow for these informations 😊 1) If I can ask, can you tell us how Mel and Maggie discover about Macy? 2) One of Vera sisters will cast a spell to activate their powers like in the original pilot? 3) Mel and Maggie will live in the campus or in the Manor? 4) What do you think about their love interests? 5) In your opinion, each Vera sister has a contropart in a Halliwell sister? From what I read, seems like Macy is a bit like Paige (for the long lost sister part), a bit like Piper (for her solid love story), a bit like Prue (for her dedication on the work) and a bit like Phoebe (for her enthusiasm in practicing magic). Am I right? And ot’s The same for Mel and Maggie? Sorry for my questions but I’m starting to be very excited about this new Charmed 😅

Eh. Honestly, that all sounds terrible to me.
Granted, this is live action fan fiction. But, wow. Definitely reads that way, too.
And it really doesn't seem like SWTWC to me, actually.
But information about the script doesn't equal the actual final product. But the college part is all kinds of turnoff for me.

4) how each sisters use their powers in the pilot? * Macy reaches for a box of clothes and it moves ever so slightly, but she shrugs it off. * Macy gets angry talking to Galvin and a plate flies across the room. * At the sorority meeting, Maggie shakes people's hands and hears their thoughts. She freaks out and pushes through a crowd trying to exit, flooding her mind with voices. * In a coffee shop, a barista stumbles with hot coffee and Mel freezes the room. Then she keeps accidentally freezing Soo Jin. * Macy throws a globe at Harry (their whitelighter). Then a lamp. Macy is by far the quickest to gain control of her power. * Macy levitates a keg and hurls it at a demon. * To use her power at will, Mel is basically the opposite of Piper. She's been so angry and frantic since her mother's death, she needs to find an inner calm to bring things to a stand still. She freezes a demon when he attacks Maggie. * Maggie is holding Mel's hand when Soo Jin turns up. Maggie says "Oooh yes, you should say that to her." To which Mel responds "I hate your power." * Mel freezes Soo Jin, gets everything she wants to say to her off her chest, then unfreezes her and says what she needs to say (break up).
I'm glad the scene with Macy and Galvin made the cut. I have a question: are there scenes that are nods to the original? Like maybe the sisters standing under a chandelier and then streams of blue lights bathe them? That sort of thing.

A few questions
1) How does the mother die? 2) Do we have a clear indication of the ages of the sisters? 3) Any background on Macy's upbringing, did their mother send her away for protection? 4) What mythology in regards to witchcraft is mentioned? e.g do we learn about the three essentials of magic like Classic Charmed's pilot? 5) Are the Elders mentioned by name or called They? 6) What is the spell used to vanquish their first demon? No power of three will set us free?

I do hope referencing the original show doesn't mean how Phoebe referenced I Dream of Jeannie or Cinderella or Bewitched. I feel Mel and Maggie could pass off as Coop and Phoebe's daughters while Macy the oldest half-sister as Cole and Phoebe's child who the Seer also had involvement in creating. If Melinda could turn into Wyatt, why not the unborn son actually be a daughter. Also if their lives are in danger and the Halliwell name is a magnet for evil, makes sense to change their last names. Source actually turning out to be Wyatt or Chris or both....that would be interesting. Oh, MAN, Cyma! You're REALLY making me wish that the Like function was still working! I'd give this a TON of those! As is... *nods* Exactly so! Thanks. My thumb is always reaching for the non-existent like button. So weird the button used to annoy me when it first popped up. Now I terribly miss it. To use her power at will, Mel is basically the opposite of Piper. She's been so angry and frantic since her mother's death, she needs to find an inner calm to bring things to a stand still. She freezes a demon when he attacks Maggie.
I actually like this trigger for freezing powers. Having to do the exact opposite of your emotions and perhaps even your personality to trigger your powers.

Hello My initial thought is how are they going to explain that there was charmed ones before them? Wasn’t it prophesied years ago? Surely they Can’t keep passing the power of 3 prophecy onto a new set of sisters? I feel like it may have something to do with the end of season 4 where the angel of destiny offers them a chance at new destiny and the charmed destiny would be passed onto a new set of sisters? Maybe they’ll ignore season 5-8 and pick up from the end of season 4 like they did with the new comics?

It seems there are a lot of new visitors that are popping up on this site-especially to this thread. Today alone I saw at least 5 Charmed tribute Instagram pages with the spoilers/tidbits shared by one of the members on here. Some pages are even posing as if they read the actual script and posting the spoilers verbatim like it is on here. Smh Lol

Unless they completely ignore Forever Charmed and all the children, and the prophecy transferred to a new set of sisters or family. I mean could they even have Charmed Ones in other countries or cultures and not just one set based in America? But since the reboot is set in USA, I'm not so sure.

Because it *is* in the USA, I'm hoping that they show that 'Forever Charmed' is just Piper's delusion as she dies along with the others after the explosion in 'Kill Billie, Vol 2'. That would just leave two kids, unable to become Charmed, so the Power of Three had to be passed on to a different set of three sisters descended from Melinda Warren. That means there's possibility of Wyatt or Chris showing up on the reboot, but the only way one of the sisters could is as a ghost.

Prophecies have be interpreted and, as Greek literature teaches us, they often hide a meaning that is different from the apparent one. Melinda said her powers would be passed from generation to generation until it culminated in a Trio of powerful witches. She did not say what would happen next. We only know that the power of the Three belongs to three sisters. After the Halliwells, we all thought that the Power of Three would be inherited by the children of the latter. Maybe it is passed instead to three other sisters who descend from Melinda Warren who perhaps had another secret daughter in addition to Prudence Warren!
