‘Charmed’: Is A Reboot Series In The Works? Alyssa Milano’s Not Opposed To It
Thu, September 3, 2015 6:35pm EDT by Christopher Rogers
OMG! Just like ‘Full House’ and ‘The X-Files,’ ‘Charmed’ may be getting the reboot treatment, as Alyssa Milano talked to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY and said she’s ‘not opposed’ to the idea of bringing the show back to life. She’s also open to the idea of Shannen Doherty returning.
While promoting her new line of Viva Paper Towels, Alyssa Milano, 42, told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that she could “totally see” a Charmed reboot series happening in the not too distant future.
When asked whether she’d like to see Charmed or Who’s The Boss? get the reboot treatment, Alyssa told us, “I can totally see it! Both could lend itself because those stories can continue. How great would it be to see Tony Danza as a grandfather?! That would be amazing, right? But everyone agrees with both shows that the elements would have to be really spectacular in order to do that. It has got to live up to the legacy that we left. They both lasted for eight years, so you need to do that justice. I think none of us are opposed to it in either elements, but everything has to be perfect for it to even be considered.”
When she says “everyone,” it sounds like she’s implying everyone, including Shannen Doherty, who left the series after the third season. Alyssa once said she and Shannen had “rough days” on set, but maybe time has healed their wounds. Shannen’s character, Prue Halliwell, died in the series, but it’s Charmed — she could totally come back as a ghost.

Now to me, this writer seems to think that they're talking about a sequel, not a reboot. I truly don't see that - one with the original actors - ever happening, although if it did, now might be the right time before the actors get much older.. I still think it's too early for a reboot - give it another ten years. And that might not be a bad idea for a sequel - if you were going to include the originals, it would give the kids a chance to grow up, like what has happened with Full House - Fuller House.
Although I wonder if CBS would let Shannen come back as a ghost - it would go against the comics, which even though right now they're not canon, I'll bet CBS would want to be canon, the same way they won't let Paul Ruditis contradict anything in Season 10 of the comics in his e-book series.
It's just like I don't see them ever doing what I'd love to see done - prove that Forever Crap, I mean Forever Piper, I mean Forever Charmed is just Piper's delusion while she's in a coma for ten years and now we get to hear them tell us what really happened, so we wouldn't be stuck with all three married with three children, when I'd prefer Piper and Leo only having the two boys (but only because they have to - if both are dead so Piper never raises one, I wouldn't scream -Paige and Henry only having one non-magical teenager who's adopted and Phoebe being divorced seven times with no children because she still doesn't have Ladybug. That's more how I see the S8 Charmed Ones ending than sappily ever after.
But that wouldn't make for much of a continuation, so I know it won't happen.
Although maybe in order to save Prue from her current situation in Season 10, the only way would be for her to go back to looking like Prue, not Patience...
Nah.
By the way, now would be a good time for a since all three originals are no longer working...might be why Alyssa is suddenly interested in a continuation...
I do think they should wait and see how Fuller House works - how many kids they show (since it still doesn't sound like the Olsen twins want to be part of it) and how they handle them and how successful it is before they continue Charmed.
