Comic-Con: 'Elemental Charmed' to End With Season 5


The news, announced Saturday at Comic-Con, comes after stars TBC and TBC previously signaled that the end of the series was in sight.

It's official: CBS-TV's 'Elemental Charmed' will end with its upcoming fifth season.



Producers made the announcement Saturday during the show's annual trek to San Diego Comic-Con, though the decision to wrap the series created by Connie Burge — comes as little surprise.



Talk of ending the series has been a much talked about question among the writer's room for some time. Paul Ruditis told the press "we mapped out a four or five-year plan for the series after we got picked up for a second season and moved to CBS. But the only question on our minds was exactly how much story we had in us. We didn't want to keep on going when we dried up all the plots we could make." 


Stars TBC and TBC had signaled that the end of the drama was in sight. Both actors had previously indicated their plans to do one last season of the series, and indicated the idea of a possible half-season order for the fifth season is what got a couple of the stars of the show to sign beyond the original four-year-contract they all signed for when the series was first picked up to series back in 2018.

"We all have discussed it and we've made the decision that this is it," Burge told fans Saturday. "This is going to be the final season of 'Elemental Charmed'. It's bittersweet and emotional and we're all going to be crying in a minute. It's been a beautiful run.... Get ready, because it's going to be a very crazy and wild ride for these final episodes."



The final season also will be a shortened one, consisting of 12 episodes and bringing the series to a total of 100 episodes. The show returns Sunday, Septemer 11. at 8 p.m.
Production is expected to begin on Monday, August 8th, 2022. It's a little later than usual, due to the shorten order, they were able to be more flexible, and two of the show's stars were still off busy shooting some movies.


“'Elemental Charmed' has meant so much to so many fans around the world and has meant so much to all of us at CBS,” network president of CBS-TV said in a release shortly after the news broke at Comic-Con. “I am a huge fan of the show myself, and I’ve seen every episode. The relationship and bond between these five stars have been such a blessing. So I am very happy that we can give Connie and her writers the chance to finish their story the way they have envisioned, and to give viewers a fantastic conclusion to five spectacular seasons.”



Saturday's Comic-Con panel ended with a sweet video tribute and Burge's final message to fans: "Thank you for joining us on the ride with these five amazing women, and I cannot wait to close the doors on the Elemental Witches for this final streach of 12 episodes"

'Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano set to return for 'Elemental Charmed's final season'

Following the news, last weekend at Comic-Con that 'Elemental Charmed' was coming to an end with one more season. It is now officially confirmed that fans can expect to see Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano reprise their roles of Jenna and Mary Ann Warren in the final season for the last time, which starts production for the final season on Monday, August 8th, 2022.

It comes as no surprise since both actresses have previously made regular guest appearances on the series at least once every season. It was only a matter of signing them both and securing them at the same time. 

Connie Burge revealed "I wanted to announce this at Comic-Con last weekend, but the announcement of our show ending, we wanted to make sure that we were taking a second to reflect on our show's legacy and let that sink in and let our fans prepare for goodbye, before we went and revealed all the returning faces for the last season".

Shannen Doherty later spoke about her return and the shows ending in a recent press interview "I'm excited to come back one last time to 'Elemental Charmed', I've enjoyed being a part of this amazing series, and I'm so proud of the work Connie, the writers, and the cast have produced over the years. Me and Alyssa have enjoyed getting to play the parts of Mary Ann and Jenna. So I'm looking forward to my return."

Alyssa also made a comment in reference to the showing ending "I'm sad to see this show ending since I'm enjoyed popping in and out of the series for the few years, but I'm excited that me and Shannen will get a chance to be apart of the final year. 

Burge didn't reveal any hints about what role the two will play for the final time. But did let fans know it will be worth it.

Both Shannen and Alyssa will appear in the opening episode of Season 5 to kickstart the beginning of the final 12 episodes of 'Elemental Charmed' which will premiere on September 11th, 2022.

Great job with these two. I enjoyed reading them. Any chance Pheebs of doing more press for the series, as in some press releases for all the Comic-Con and Paleyfeast events, the real reboot is doing right now. The Elemental Charmed cast and crew would attend these, and I'd love to feel like we're apart of the journey in the lead-up to the series premiere of Elemental Charmed?

I'm sure you can find and write something good. I have confidence you'll do wonders with it.

Good first effort. My only question is I'm assuming this is a non-magical or Warlock free episode.

Maybe Paige's employee is Patience's colleagues killer. But I forgot we're yet to have an episode with just a human villain?

A suggestion, I think the title of the episode would be so much better as your tagline "Don't Go Alone Down the Trail of the Wailing Child" and having a different tagline. But that's just a suggestion, feel free to keep the original title. I just found more catchy as an episode title.

‘Charmed’ EPs & Stars On Staying True To The Original & What’s To Come In Season 1 – Comic Con

The cast and creatives of the CW’s Charmed reboot 'Elemental Charmed' took the stage on Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con following a screening of the pilot episode. Present today were starring cast members TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, and TBC along with producers Constance M. Burge, Sheryl J. Anderson, and Paul Ruditis.

This new version is set in Salem, MA and follows the sisters who, who discover that they, along with their grandmother, mother, and aunt, are a family of witches who discover that between protecting those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic while maintaining familial bonds, a witch’s work is never done.

“The original was so much about female empowerment and sisterhood and strong women taking over the world, and I feel like that’s what we needed right now,” said Burge about rebooting the 1998-2006 series.

The first episode wasted no time in tackling modern relevant issues and also expanding the concepts of different background experiences and ages, with each of the Warren's coming from different generations, while featuring a few nods to the WB Network original Classic Charmed series.

"We want things to feel very natural, without making a bold statement about the modern issues going on in the world today. We want our viewers to be able to check into our series, enter our fantasy world and be able to feel like all the troubles in the real world go away for an hour a week. Although we'll definitely tackle some modern issues, it just will be done without trying to preach our opinions onto viewers" Ruditis revealed about what they hope the viewers will take away from the series.

Burge assured that the series will stay true to its predecessor.

“I loved the original,” she said. “That’s why we wanted to do this. … It’s deeply rooted in the original but this series will be rooted in sisterhood, motherhood and family ties of women sticking together, juggling every-day life and also relying on each other to navigate the world we live in today.”

Expressing the same sentiments, TBC said, “It is very respectful of that, but what we wanted to do was allow viewers who watched the original series to be able to watch it with their own daughters and children now, and everyone can relate to one of these women at whatever stage of life they are in. It's a real family show rooted in fantasy.“

As to what’s in store for the Warren family, this season will focus on the bonds between these women and navigating mother-daughter, grandmother-grandchildren, niece-aunty and sister-sister relationships “Piper and Phoebe learning more control of their powers,” teased Burge. “The juggling of everyday problems and the latest warlock or supernatural attack” The villains have also been updated hinted Anderson. “We want these villains to feel fun and modern, and also to always come back to what these five women are doing in their everyday life at that moment in time,” she said. Like “a spirit known as the Soul Collector that is after your soul, connects back to one of Warren's job, and we're using the innocents to deal with typical everyday problems society faces all the time in life but doing it in a very natural way that doesn't feel forced.”

‘Charmed’ Reboot 'Elemental Charmed' Hits New York Comic Con
and also teases the tribute to Classic Charmed's 20 year anniversary special


EXCLUSIVE: Attendees at this year’s New York Comic Con are going to feel seriously Charmed with an early look at the series with of CW reboot from original creator Constance M. Burge.



The new version of the late 1990s supernatural sibling WB series is set to debut on October 14, but NYCC fans will get to see the first episode of the new Charmed a week beforehand, I’ve learned.



Already having previewed at San Diego Comic-Con in July, the Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis penned opener that’s screening at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 7 at 1:30 PM ET has some added significance at NYCC, at least in terms of timing. The preview coincides with the 20th anniversary of Charmed, which first hit the air on October 7, 1998. A panel with on-screen Warren family members TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC and TBC is scheduled too.


TBC who portrays Prudence Warren has said "Her first Comic-Con ever was really nervous. But I'm glad that I have the support of my cast members. I never dreamed that at my age, I'd be a star at these events." TBC who portrays the younger sister Phoebe Warren, was a little more star-struck being in the same room as other well-known names. "I've gone to these events as a fan, and now I'm being greeted by fans. It's so surreal"

Connie Burge has also teased that the upcoming tribute special to the Classic original series set to air on October 7th, is going to be very wonderful. "Me, Sheryl, Chris and Zack all sat down and contributed a little to it. But I'm so excited for fans to be able to see the real star power trio together who are the anchors for the hour-long tribute, and also for fans to see a few the episode in HD." 

"I've heard the remasters have come out very nicely. The best gift to give the fans before our new series starts soon after." Sheryl J. Anderson said feeling very impressed that everyone gets a chance to honor the original work that came before in true magical style. 


Also like SDCC, the core cast of the new Charmed will be on hand at the screening as well as an autograph session at the sprawling Javits Center later that last day of NYCC 2018 at 3 PM ET.



As well as Charmed, CBS is bringing several other heavy hitters to NYCC next month.

Comic-Con: 'Elemental Charmed' to End With Season 5


The news, announced Saturday at Comic-Con, comes after stars TBC and TBC previously signaled that the end of the series was in sight.

It's official: CBS-TV's 'Elemental Charmed' will end with its upcoming fifth season.



Producers made the announcement Saturday during the show's annual trek to San Diego Comic-Con, though the decision to wrap the series created by Connie Burge — comes as little surprise.

Paul Ruditis told the press "we mapped out a four or five-year plan for the series after we got picked up for a second season and moved to CBS.

The final season also will be a shortened one, consisting of 12 episodes and bringing the series to a total of 100 episodes. The show returns Sunday, Septemer 11. at 8 p.m.
Production is expected to begin on Monday, August 8th, 2022. It's a little later than usual, due to the shorten order, they were able to be more flexible, and two of the show's stars were still off busy shooting some movies.


“'Elemental Charmed' has meant so much to so many fans around the world and has meant so much to all of us at CBS,” network president of CBS-TV said in a release shortly after the news broke at Comic-Con. “I am a huge fan of the show myself, and I’ve seen every episode.

Saturday's Comic-Con panel ended with a sweet video tribute and Burge's final message to fans: "Thank you for joining us on the ride with these five amazing women, and I cannot wait to close the doors on the Elemental Witches for this final streach of 12 episodes"

'Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano set to return for 'Elemental Charmed's final season'

Following the news, last weekend at Comic-Con that 'Elemental Charmed' was coming to an end with one more season. It is now officially confirmed that fans can expect to see Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano reprise their roles of Jenna and Mary Ann Warren in the final season for the last time, which starts production for the final season on Monday, August 8th, 2022.

It comes as no surprise since both actresses have previously made regular guest appearances on the series at least once every season. It was only a matter of signing them both and securing them at the same time. 

Connie Burge revealed "I wanted to announce this at Comic-Con last weekend, but the announcement of our show ending, we wanted to make sure that we were taking a second to reflect on our show's legacy and let that sink in and let our fans prepare for goodbye, before we went and revealed all the returning faces for the last season".

Me and Alyssa have enjoyed getting to play the parts of Mary Ann and Jenna. So I'm looking forward to my return."

Alyssa also made a comment in reference to the showing ending "I'm sad to see this show ending since I'm enjoyed popping in and out of the series for the few years, but I'm excited that me and Shannen will get a chance to be apart of the final year. 

Burge didn't reveal any hints about what role the two will play for the final time. But did let fans know it will be worth it.

Both Shannen and Alyssa will appear in the opening episode of Season 5 to kickstart the beginning of the final 12 episodes of 'Elemental Charmed' which will premiere on September 11th, 2022.

Season 2, Episode 4: 'If You Go Down to the Woods...'

DON'T GO ALONE DOWN THE TRAIL OF THE WAILING CHILD — Patience arrives at the scene of a crime where two children are found murdered deep in the woods near a local camp, the local campers believe the legend of the Blair Witch. But when Patience tells her family about it, Prudence and Paige laugh it off as nothing but a myth that turned made money in fiction films and books. But when Patience convinces her family that, people are being murdered at the same time, every year for the last 70 years, then does the laughter turn serious.

The Warren's soon investigate to prove if this legend is real or not. They eventually learn that the Blair Witch Legend isn't even a Witch or even a warlock at all, but really the spirit of a wailing child.

Great work everyone here. I'm so amazed by the efforts members here are doing with all ideas and the press releases.

I really liked your episode Summer with the time loop in the 20s.

[Esmeralda]

Fantastic job with the press releases, everyone! No time to do so right now, but I will edit them when I get a chance.

Just keep them coming, people! I'm *so* curious to see how many episodes we'll have on Friday, Elemental Charmed's one-month anniversary!

Didn't Classic Charmed poke fun at The Blair Witch in an episode? 

A suggestion, I think the title of the episode would be so much better as your tagline "Don't Go Alone Down the Trail of the Wailing Child" and having a different tagline. But that's just a suggestion, feel free to keep the original title. I just found more catchy as an episode title.

Yes 'That Old Black Magic' I believe.

I agree with Sasha, that really would make a better and cooler title. Summer, what do you think? 

Looks like Summer has changed it.

I'm loving how many press releases are coming in, the more the better! I'm curious as well Es, just how many episodes we'll have by Friday. 

I still can't believe we're only hitting one month this Friday. It feels much longer than that to me. Might be because we've done so much in such little time.

‘Charmed’ EPs & Stars On Staying True To The Original & What’s To Come In Season 1 – Comic Con

The cast and creatives of the CW’s Charmed reboot 'Elemental Charmed' took the stage on Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con following a screening of the pilot episode. Present today were starring cast members TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, and TBC along with producers Constance M. Burge, Sheryl J. Anderson, and Paul Ruditis.

This new version is set in Salem, MA and follows the sisters who, who discover that they, along with their grandmother, mother, and aunt, are a family of witches who discover that between protecting those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic while maintaining familial bonds, a witch’s work is never done.

“The original was so much about female empowerment and sisterhood and strong women taking over the world, and I feel like that’s what we needed right now,” said Burge about rebooting the 1998-2006 series.

The first episode wasted no time in tackling modern relevant issues and also expanding the concepts of different background experiences and ages, with each of the Warren's coming from different generations, while featuring a few nods to the WB Network original Classic Charmed series.

"We want things to feel very natural, without making a bold statement about the modern issues going on in the world today. We want our viewers to be able to check into our series, enter our fantasy world and be able to feel like all the troubles in the real world go away for an hour a week. Although we'll definitely tackle some modern issues, it just will be done without trying to preach our opinions onto viewers" Ruditis revealed about what they hope the viewers will take away from the series.

Burge assured that the series will stay true to its predecessor.

“I loved the original,” she said. “That’s why we wanted to do this. … It’s deeply rooted in the original but this series will be rooted in sisterhood, motherhood and family ties of women sticking together, juggling every-day life and also relying on each other to navigate the world we live in today.”

Expressing the same sentiments, TBC said, “It is very respectful of that, but what we wanted to do was allow viewers who watched the original series to be able to watch it with their own daughters and children now, and everyone can relate to one of these women at whatever stage of life they are in. It's a real family show rooted in fantasy.“

As to what’s in store for the Warren family, this season will focus on the bonds between these women and navigating mother-daughter, grandmother-grandchildren, niece-aunty and sister-sister relationships “Piper and Phoebe learning more control of their powers,” teased Burge. “The juggling of everyday problems and the latest warlock or supernatural attack” The villains have also been updated hinted Anderson. “We want these villains to feel fun and modern, and also to always come back to what these five women are doing in their everyday life at that moment in time,” she said. Like “a spirit known as the Soul Collector that is after your soul, connects back to one of Warren's job, and we're using the innocents to deal with typical everyday problems society faces all the time in life but doing it in a very natural way that doesn't feel forced.”

'Elemental Charmed' debuts October 14 on The CW.

‘Charmed’ Reboot 'Elemental Charmed' Hits New York Comic Con
and also teases the tribute to Classic Charmed's 20 year anniversary special


EXCLUSIVE: Attendees at this year’s New York Comic Con are going to feel seriously Charmed with an early look at the series with of CW reboot from original creator Constance M. Burge.



The new version of the late 1990s supernatural sibling WB series is set to debut on October 14, but NYCC fans will get to see the first episode of the new Charmed a week beforehand, I’ve learned.



Already having previewed at San Diego Comic-Con in July, the Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis penned opener that’s screening at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 7 at 1:30 PM ET has some added significance at NYCC, at least in terms of timing. The preview coincides with the 20th anniversary of Charmed, which first hit the air on October 7, 1998. A panel with on-screen Warren family members TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC, TBC and TBC is scheduled too.


TBC who portrays Prudence Warren has said "Her first Comic-Con ever was really nervous. But I'm glad that I have the support of my cast members. I never dreamed that at my age, I'd be a star at these events." TBC who portrays the younger sister Phoebe Warren, was a little more star-struck being in the same room as other well-known names. "I've gone to these events as a fan, and now I'm being greeted by fans. It's so surreal"

Connie Burge has also teased that the upcoming tribute special to the Classic original series set to air on October 7th, is going to be very wonderful. "Me, Sheryl, Chris and Zack all sat down and contributed a little to it. But I'm so excited for fans to be able to see the real star power trio together who are the anchors for the hour-long tribute, and also for fans to see a few the episode in HD." 

"I've heard the remasters have come out very nicely. The best gift to give the fans before our new series starts soon after." Sheryl J. Anderson said feeling very impressed that everyone gets a chance to honor the original work that came before in true magical style. 


Also like SDCC, the core cast of the new Charmed will be on hand at the screening as well as an autograph session at the sprawling Javits Center later that last day of NYCC 2018 at 3 PM ET.



As well as Charmed, CBS is bringing several other heavy hitters to NYCC next month.

As usual Pheebs, you are doing a brilliant job with all things press releases.

I think you covered everything needed in these that I can see. But maybe someone else here can make some suggestions?
