Elemental Charmed Reviewers Thread

[Sasha]

So the regular thread isn't clogged up with so many reviews for the press releases, and let that thread stay for brainstorming. 

I've decided to create a thread just for the purpose of me (and hopefully others will want to join in too) for reviewing the 'Elemental Charmed' series. 

So let's keep any reviews that 'Elemental Charmed' may have in here, and let that other thread keep going with brainstorming and crafting many more press releases.

[Sasha]

I'm copying my reviews in the other thread in here. 

Sept 3, 2018 3:06:45 GMT -5:

We're on a new page dears. So copying this over from the previous page that included the press release credits.


I'll also copy Pheebs and Summers latest stories in another post.

"Elemental Charmed"

BACKSTORY:

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price.

She has known that she has the Elemental power of Spirit when she started having premonitions as a teenager. While studying to become a doctor, she married fellow witch, Allen Halliwell, and gave birth twice (with Allen agreeing to let their daughters carry the family name of Warren if any son carried his family name of Halliwell). When they grew older, Prudence discovered that her older daughter, Patience, had the Elemental power of Earth, while her younger daughter, Paige, had the Elemental power of Air. When Prudence's premonitions revealed that her two future granddaughters would have the other two Elemental powers of Water and Fire, she realized that her family was destined to become the powerful Elemental Witches. She began training her daughters in the Craft in order to prepare them for what would eventually happen to them and their own daughters, especially after a warlock murdered Allen.

While still a teenager, Paige fell in love with an older man, Sam Wilder. Although Prudence warned her against him so Paige eventually broke up with him, a couple months later she discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Peyton. When Prudence, Patience, and Paige discovered that Peyton had the Elemental power of Water, and when a couple years later Patience married non-magical Victor Bennett and had their daughter Piper, who had the Elemental power of Fire, the Warren family was certain that those five would become the Elemental Witches with each of Prudence's daughters having one child, who were cousins.

This changed when Sam came back and began influencing his eight-year-old daughter. When Peyton used her firepower to kill a classmate who was teasing her, she became a warlock like her father. Under his influence, Peyton turned on her family and much as it hurt the family, especially Patience, they ended up having to vanquish Peyton, and they were sure all was lost.

But this changed five years later, when Piper was ten and Patience gave birth to Phoebe, who had the same Elemental power as Peyton - Water. After Phoebe was born, Patience and her mother and sister decided to try to protect her daughters from what had happened to Peyton. The three older witches placed a cloaking spell on Victor and the girls before the three of them relocated to the other side of the country in San Francisco. This way the girls could be raised by their father and be protected while also having a normal childhood, something no other Warren witch had ever had.

In order to continue to protect them, Victor raised Piper and Phoebe so they didn't know that they were witches or destined to become one of the Elemental Witches – they were always just his little girls. They’ve visited their grandmother, mother (who they believed divorced their father, but agreed to let him have custody so that she could live her own life as a photographer for the Salem Police Department) during summer vacations and they always go back to Warren Manor for Christmas.

But as our series begins, Prudence has a premonition showing that Sam is back, going after Piper and Phoebe, so the two are in danger. Paige uses her Elemental power of Air to transport herself, her mother and her sister to her nieces. They're too late to prevent Sam from murdering Victor, but thanks to Prudence's premonition, Patience uses her Elemental power of Earth to throw Sam into a wall before he can harm her daughters. Then Prudence, Patience and Paige use a potion and a spell to vanquish Sam. Patience reveals to her daughters that they are witches and lets them decide if they want her to unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agreed to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound. They agree to join their mother and aunt, who along with their grandmother who uses her premonitions and knowledge to guide her daughters and granddaughters. The five Warren women are now the Elemental Witches, setting out to protect those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS:

Prudence Warren: Aged 70. Much the same as the Grams we know and shake our head at, she's the strict, fiery matriarch of the Warren family. She's very much like Prue Halliwell, initially strict but because she will have suffered fewer losses than the "real Grams" she becomes more mellow and softer. She has the Elemental power of Spirit which gives her premonitions. She was a doctor but is now retired, although now she uses her skills along with potions to heal her family’s injuries.

Patience Warren: Prudence's older daughter, aged 50. Pretty much the Patty we know and love, although even more kind and caring. She functions as the "balance" of the family as Piper was in the original series, but unlike Piper Halliwell, she is the most selfless person of all and always has time to help those in need, although that often gets her in trouble. Like Prue Halliwell, she's a photographer, but unlike Prue, she works with the Salem police. She has the Elemental power of Earth which allows her to throw anything..

Paige Warren: Prudence's younger daughter, aged 40. Again, she is basically the same as her namesake, except she is Patty's sister, not Piper and Phoebe's. She's sometimes irresponsible and impulsive and not always in touch with reality. Much in the same way Prue would lecture Phoebe at being irresponsible in the original series, Prudence would be the same with this "Paige". Like Paige Matthews, she's a social worker. Paige has the Elemental power of Air, which allows her to use the wind to move herself and anyone else to wherever she wants to go.

Piper Warren: Patience's older daughter, aged 30. Again much like Piper Halliwell, but rather than being shy, she's very fiery, like later-season Piper without constantly feeling sorry for herself (although she does miss her normal life..,), and because there are no whitelighters, she never falls for one. Like Piper Halliwell, she owns her own restaurant and is a very good cook, so she's the one who makes most of the potions. She has the Elemental power of Fire, which allows her to form and throw fireballs, but like Piper Warren herself, the power isn't evil.

Phoebe Warren: Patience's younger daughter, aged 20. Also much like Phoebs Halliwell (and never like PhoeME Halliwell), but like her grandmother, mother, aunt and sister, the fact that she was born in Warren Manor has nothing to do with whether she can easily turn evil - all five have free will and can decide if they want to do good or evil. Phoebe is still in college and works on the school paper. She has always loved to write and is the one who comes up with most of the original spells. Phoebe has the Elemental power of Water which allows her to freeze molecules.

PRESS RELEASES FOR “ELEMENTAL CHARMED” FROM THE CW AND CBS-TV

All of you guys really have created something special here. I really enjoyed following how this all came together.

The backstory with Paige and Peyton is very impressive. I especially like that you have Piper & Phoebe in San Francisco and then moving to Salem and where the series is set-up.

Prudence being a doctor is an idea I actually think really fits. Because it means Prudence may not have active powers, but with Premonitions and her skills as a doctor, she is actually an asset to the family.

I really want to say a big thank-you for the efforts. I really enjoyed reading how this came together. Since I barely have kept up with the Charmed reboot at The CW, I actually have been so out of the loop, the only thing I've seen is a couple of promos, and I'm not impressed. This reboot looks more promising.

"Simply Charmed Again"

Reboot From Original Creator Gets CW Pilot Orders

For a second consecutive year, the CW has handed out its first two pilot orders to a high-profile reboot of a long-running series from CBS TV Studios and another project from one of Warner Bros. TV’s top producers.

This time the network has greenlighted a new “Charmed” from the show's original creator, Constance M. Burge. The project will reunite Burge with three of her fellow writing staff: Sheryl. J Anderson and the popular team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin. Also joining the project is Paul Ruditis, known for his work on the popular Charmed comic series and author of several Charmed novels. Burge will act as executive producer while the others will write all of the episodes.

The CW originally tried to bring back “Charmed”, one of the signature dramas of predecessor The WB, last season, when it ordered a reimagining of the original Aaron Spelling series from the same creative auspices. It was to be set in 1976 and feature a new trio of witches. The project was rolled over to this development season.

The new “Charmed” script, penned by Anderson and Ruditis and based on a story by Burge, is set in present time. Per The CW, whose brass greenlighted the pilot shortly after getting the script, “this new dark, dramatic ‘Charmed’ reboot" of the original series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the original classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

I'm really starting to enjoy this series so very much.

Keep up the very fantastically written and plotted press releases guys.

So I better get ready. But thank-you for making my morning. I'll be thinking about this all day at work now, which isn't a bad thing.

Just to make it easier, I'm going to copy one of the recaps from the other thread, that latest one Es did. That should make me (and others if they review), continuing my reviews easier in here, so we won't need to jump between threads looking for them.

"Elemental Charmed"

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price.

Burge will act as executive producer while the others will write all of the episodes.

The CW originally tried to bring back “Charmed”, one of the signature dramas of predecessor The WB, last season, when it ordered a reimagining of the original Aaron Spelling series from the same creative auspices. It was to be set in 1976 and feature a new trio of witches. The project was rolled over to this development season.

The new “Charmed” script, penned by Anderson and Ruditis and based on a story by Burge, is set in present time. Per The CW, whose brass greenlighted the pilot shortly after getting the script, “this new dark, dramatic ‘Charmed’ reboot" of the original series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the original classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

"Elemental Charmed" Renewed for Season Two, Moves To CBS-TV

CBS-TV has picked up its first new series for next season, and it is not that new. After weeks of speculation, "'Elemental Charmed" will move from cable channel The CW to its broadcast sister network CBS, which has renewed the fantasy drama for a second season.

The pickup, which comes hours after the most recent deadline for The CW to renew freshman series, will find its new home at CBS-TV, with the likes of other old properties which have in the past few years been rebooted and redeveloped for the CBS audience, especially for those whose cable systems do not include The CW.

An ''Elemental Charmed” move to CBS-TV had been rumored for a while, with talks becoming real the last few days. A CBS pickup was contingent on finding a way to produce a show of that scale and since CBS-TV also partners The CW network, the decision to move the series should make for a smooth transition.

CBS-TV had frequently been mentioned as a suitable home for 'Elemental Charmed' because the show’s audience tending to skew older than the ones who usually watch The CW, the CBS-TV president's public comments about regretting not going after the project when it was originally pitched, and the fact that CBS-TV is owned by CBS Studio, which also co-owns part of The CW.

This is the complete opposite of what happened a few years back, when "Supergirl" was rumored to be moving from CBS-TV to The CW; this time a series originally aired on The CW is making the move.

Despite the fact that its numbers were consistent for The CW and the series would have still been ordered for a second season, they found that most of their younger core audience wasn't responding to the series, which center around three generations of a family of witches.

Producer Connie Burge explained in an interview: "Although The CW was very supportive of our show, we didn't find it connected with the younger audience, and the network felt this would have meant the series would undergo a revamp in the second season, only featuring Emmalee Thompson and Meghan Corletto, who play Piper and Phoebe, the youngest members of the Warren family, something we didn't want to do."

TBC who plays Prudence, the matriarch of the Warren family, joked to interviewers: ”I was convinced that had the series stayed on The CW, I would be out of a job, because they would have killed me off."

But TBC turned serious as she added, "The move will allow the show to still remain the staple it was on The CW; we just found that the audience connected with us older women just as much as they connected with the younger ones. I am really pleased with the move, and look forward to our show telling more great stories about the Warren women."

Paul Ruditis, one of the chief writers, relieved panicking fans, announcing that "All the ladies are coming back for Season Two, the foundation and mythology we set up in our first season will progress in Season Two. We will continue to tell great stories for these Warren women."

Ruditis also hinted that the second season might go deeper into the family lives of the Warrens. We could possibly see some backstories forming from some of our ladies.

"Elemental Charmed" is produced by Constance M. Burge in association with CBS Studios.

Classic “Charmed” stars Shannen Doherty and 'Alyssa Milano' to guest star in undisclosed roles for the season finale of 'Elemental Charmed'

The former stars of the original classic series “Charmed have both booked guest-starring roles in the series' upcoming season finale set to air May 19th.

Connie Burge, who created the classic series that starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan and is executive producer for the new series, had been considering bringing the former stars onto the show for some time. "I've been trying to find suitable roles for Shannen, Alyssa, Holly, and Rose. But I just couldn't find the right story. But after collaboration with Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin, who co-wrote the season finale, we think we’ve found the perfect roles for them."

Doherty revealed that she was called about appearing in "Elemental Charmed" and admits she was hesitant to take the offer. But after hearing what Burge had planned for her character, and then hearing that Burge had talked to Milano who would also be appearing. Doherty felt the timing was right, and that fans of the original classic series would really like what Burge has planned.

Milano told the press: "Just being approached was such an honor. I spent eight years of my life with 'Charmed', so this was almost like a high-school reunion, and when I heard Shannen was also going to be a part of it, I really wanted to do it. I haven't worked with Shannen in nearly 20 years, but the two of us have connected through social media for a while and I can't wait to see her again."

Burge mentioned that she hopes that other stars like Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause and Julian McMahon could appear in the series further down the line. "I don't want to overcrowd this series with too many guest appearances, not when we already have five stars. But it's not out of the question."

Doherty and Milano will start filming their scenes for the season finale in April.

Checking their book of shadows, Prudence and Patience learn that the young woman selling the Isaac Flower is a warlock trying to use the energy trapped in the Isaac Flower to revive her mother, who was cursed a long time ago to remain in a slumber state and become one with the flowers. Doing some more research in other books, the two Warrens discover that a century ago, this warlock endangered the local forests of Salem by harming the wood nymphs.

Although the nymphs are invisible to all humans, including witches, thanks to her Elemental Power of Earth, although Patience can’t see the nymphs, she can hear and communicate with them.

But will the nymphs be willing to help when time is running for the citizens of Salem, including Paige, Piper and Phoebe who are affected by the Isaac Flowers? The warlock has put them all in trances, and summoned them to her garden. There they each present the warlock with their Isaac Flower. Even as the victim drops to the ground in a faint, the warlock transfers the energy in the flowers to her mother, hoping to break the curse by reviving her mother from her slumber.

Me too. We've done so well with our press releases, and I'm so very proud of us. Looking forward to more reviews, Sasha.

I really hope this continues for many more years too. We might even have fun coming up eventually with our own official EC logo design and show title banner. But I'll leave that to the graphic designers and talent. if anyone wants to make one. I'd love us to have our own. But that might be something to consider at a later stage.

I look forward to reading more, I was going to read some tonight, got distracted by another story read, but I'll save that for Sunday. When I know I'm wide awake to enjoy them.

"Elemental Charmed" Renewed for Season Two, Moves To CBS-TV

CBS-TV has picked up its first new series for next season, and it is not that new. After weeks of speculation, "'Elemental Charmed" will move from cable channel The CW to its broadcast sister network CBS, which has renewed the fantasy drama for a second season.

The pickup, which comes hours after the most recent deadline for The CW to renew freshman series, will find its new home at CBS-TV, with the likes of other old properties which have in the past few years been rebooted and redeveloped for the CBS audience, especially for those whose cable systems do not include The CW.

An ''Elemental Charmed” move to CBS-TV had been rumored for a while, with talks becoming real the last few days. A CBS pickup was contingent on finding a way to produce a show of that scale and since CBS-TV also partners The CW network, the decision to move the series should make for a smooth transition.

CBS-TV had frequently been mentioned as a suitable home for 'Elemental Charmed' because the show’s audience tending to skew older than the ones who usually watch The CW, the CBS-TV president's public comments about regretting not going after the project when it was originally pitched, and the fact that CBS-TV is owned by CBS Studio, which also co-owns part of The CW.

This is the complete opposite of what happened a few years back, when "Supergirl" was rumored to be moving from CBS-TV to The CW; this time a series originally aired on The CW is making the move.

Despite the fact that its numbers were consistent for The CW and the series would have still been ordered for a second season, they found that most of their younger core audience wasn't responding to the series, which center around three generations of a family of witches.

Producer Connie Burge explained in an interview: "Although The CW was very supportive of our show, we didn't find it connected with the younger audience, and the network felt this would have meant the series would undergo a revamp in the second season, only featuring Emmalee Thompson and Meghan Corletto, who play Piper and Phoebe, the youngest members of the Warren family, something we didn't want to do."

TBC who plays Prudence, the matriarch of the Warren family, joked to interviewers: ”I was convinced that had the series stayed on The CW, I would be out of a job, because they would have killed me off."

But TBC turned serious as she added, "The move will allow the show to still remain the staple it was on The CW; we just found that the audience connected with us older women just as much as they connected with the younger ones. I am really pleased with the move, and look forward to our show telling more great stories about the Warren women."

Paul Ruditis, one of the chief writers, relieved panicking fans, announcing that "All the ladies are coming back for Season Two, the foundation and mythology we set up in our first season will progress in Season Two. We will continue to tell great stories for these Warren women."

Ruditis also hinted that the second season might go deeper into the family lives of the Warrens. We could possibly see some backstories forming from some of our ladies.

"Elemental Charmed" is produced by Constance M. Burge in association with CBS Studios.

-Pheebs Halliwell

Well, I'm at ease that 'Elemental Charmed' got a renewal, and glad the series got to move. I'd hate to know what The CW would have wanted out of a second season. I also would hate to lose our actress who plays Prudence. But from The CW, I wouldn't be surprised. 

Bring on Season 2! 

Classic “Charmed” stars Shannen Doherty and 'Alyssa Milano' to guest star in undisclosed roles for the season finale of 'Elemental Charmed'

The former stars of the original classic series “Charmed have both booked guest-starring roles in the series' upcoming season finale set to air May 19th.

Connie Burge, who created the classic series that starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan and is executive producer for the new series, had been considering bringing the former stars onto the show for some time. "I've been trying to find suitable roles for Shannen, Alyssa, Holly, and Rose. But I just couldn't find the right story. But after collaboration with Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin, who co-wrote the season finale, we think we’ve found the perfect roles for them."

Doherty revealed that she was called about appearing in "Elemental Charmed" and admits she was hesitant to take the offer. But after hearing what Burge had planned for her character, and then hearing that Burge had talked to Milano who would also be appearing. Doherty felt the timing was right, and that fans of the original classic series would really like what Burge has planned.

Milano told the press: "Just being approached was such an honor. I spent eight years of my life with 'Charmed', so this was almost like a high-school reunion, and when I heard Shannen was also going to be a part of it, I really wanted to do it. I haven't worked with Shannen in nearly 20 years, but the two of us have connected through social media for a while and I can't wait to see her again."

Burge mentioned that she hopes that other stars like Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause and Julian McMahon could appear in the series further down the line. "I don't want to overcrowd this series with too many guest appearances, not when we already have five stars. But it's not out of the question."

Doherty and Milano will start filming their scenes for the season finale in April.

That is what they did with bringing Superman to Supergirl with its move didn't they. So this really is a great idea.

I also love that Mary Ann was betrayed by her own sister and not a lover. Shannen and Alyssa would rock these roles.

24 HOURS OF REVEALED TRUTHS AND SECRETS — While still in Philadelphia, even though Andrea is making a speedy recovery, Prudence and Patience decide to stay for an extra few days just to be sure she is okay. Feeling better, Andrea thinks it's the perfect time for her and Prudence to reconnect with their old coven, a coven Prudence joined in the 70's, not long after Prudence was married to Andrea's twin brother and Patience's father, Allen Halliwell.

Later that night at dinner, Patience gets to hear all sorts of stories about her mother and aunt for the first time. But the following morning, Pauline, one of the coven, is found murdered in her home, and when Patience is accused of the murder, her former coven is out for vengeance.

Prudence and Andrea try to convince the coven that Patience is innocent until they learn that someone is making Patience believe she's the one who killed Pauline. The two need to find out which coven member did it and why.

Meanwhile, back in Salem, Piper and Phoebe decide to cast a truth spell, which will convince Paige to tell them who is her favorite niece. But when Paige reveals that she loved Phoebe from the first moment she was born because she reminded her of her own daughter, Peyton, Piper becomes upset and vulnerable and hurt, especially since she remembers what Peyton did. She doesn't want to think of Peyton when she looks at her younger sister.

When Paige discovers what her nieces have done, she first casts a spell to make them forget what she told them, then uses the truth spell to help her clients at Social Services, while Piper learns the hard way what her employees really think of her, and Phoebe writes the story of the year for the college paper.

However, when Piper learns something that makes her think that one of her employees is a warlock, they all learn that sometimes learning the truth might do more damage than good.

I love this story in the two different locations. Great time for a truth spell, and I can see why she feel that way Paige. I hope they mend fences before the other Warrens return from Philadelphia.

Season 2, Episode 7: 'Witches of the Paranoid Kind'

IS PIPER'S EMPLOYEE REALLY A WARLOCK? — Piper's paranoia about one of her employees being a warlock annoys Paige and Phoebe so much that Phoebe convinces Piper to look in their book of shadows, but when they flip through it, looking for a warlock test, they find nothing. But finding a spell to hear private thoughts, they cast it. To their surprise, they can not only hear each other's thoughts, they can also hear their aunt Paige's.

Unfortunately, the spell reminds the sisters that Phoebe is Paige's favorite because she reminds her of her daughter, Peyton, which causes much tension between Piper and Paige. But thanks to the spell, Piper finds out that Paige regrets what her daughter did, just as much as Piper does, and in seeing Phoebe makes Paige think of what Peyton might have been like had she not become a warlock. Realizing that she feels the same way, all three are happy to discover that the spell cast might has actually brought all three closer, repairing Paige and Piper's relationship.

Finding out what her nieces did, when Piper's paranoia over her employee returns, Paige adjusts the spell and casts it on herself so she can hear anyone's thoughts, something she can regulate through her Air elemental. They hurry to Piper's restaurant where the employee's thoughts convince all of them that she's not the warlock - one of the other employees is and he's getting ready to set the restaurant on fire and kill all. The three must find a way to stop him with only three of the Elementals.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia, Prudence and Andrea have convinced Patience that she didn't kill Pauline. Even though they still don’t know who did the murdering, they begin to relax. Patience wants to hear more stories of Prudence and Andrea’s fun times back in the 60's and the two older women comply. But suddenly Prudence is transformed into her 19-year old self. When she finds out that the world has changed, and her husband is dead, she is determined to bring Allen back from the dead, while Patience and Andrea need to figure out how to get 70-year-old Prudence back.

These press releases are so great, and I love following the story of these five women. 

I love the plot with Prudence, Patience, and Andrea. I can only imagine what a 19-year old Prudence would do. Let's hope she doesn't succeed in bringing him back.

Season 2, Episode 16: 'The Isaac Flower'

CONTINUAL TOUCH OF A FLOWER CAN KILL — It's springtime in Salem, and Prudence tends the Warren family garden of herbs by doing some much-needed spring planting. She asks Phoebe to go into town for some groceries and also stop at the local Wicca herbs and spices stores for more magical needs.

Phoebe finishes her list and is about to head for home when she notices a new flower shop has just opened across the street. Inside, a young woman raves about a certain 'Isaac Flower'. Seeing it, Phoebe is fascinated by it, but when she brings it home and sets it on her windowsill, she can't stop touching it and each time she does, she feels weaker. Little does she know, each time she touches it, it drains more of her energy.

The next morning, the store delivers free sample of the Isaac Flower to both Piper's restaurant and Salem Social Services and the flowers affect Piper and Paige the same way. But it’s not just them. Piper’s employees and customers and Paige’s fellow social workers and their clients are suffering the same effects.

Fortunately when Patience presents Prudence with one of the flowers, Prudence recognizes it and stops her daughter before she can touch it.

Checking their book of shadows, Prudence and Patience learn that the young woman selling the Isaac Flower is a warlock trying to use the energy trapped in the Isaac Flower to revive her mother, who was cursed a long time ago to remain in a slumber state and become one with the flowers. Doing some more research in other books, the two Warrens discover that a century ago, this warlock endangered the local forests of Salem by harming the wood nymphs.

Although the nymphs are invisible to all humans, including witches, thanks to her Elemental Power of Earth, although Patience can’t see the nymphs, she can hear and communicate with them.

But will the nymphs be willing to help when time is running for the citizens of Salem, including Paige, Piper and Phoebe who are affected by the Isaac Flowers? The warlock has put them all in trances, and summoned them to her garden. There they each present the warlock with their Isaac Flower. Even as the victim drops to the ground in a faint, the warlock transfers the energy in the flowers to her mother, hoping to break the curse by reviving her mother from her slumber.

Thanks to this, nothing will save the Warrens from what is right in front of them.

Even while she pretended to befriend them, Bridget stole the spell to separate a witch from her powers from the Warren book of shadows, and her coven used the spell to concoct a potion.

Prudence is the one who rescues her older daughter before sadly reminding Patience that in order to become a witch again, a warlock must willingly save an Innocent - someone who is innocent of the existence of magic - so rescuing a Warren wouldn't count.

While trying to rescue the children, the demon uses Patience's despair caused by her inability to save her younger sister to turn her into his next victim.

48 hours! This is pretty intense, but the perfect spot to end on a cliffhanger. I'm sure the Warren's are going to be so very shocked to learn the truth about Andrea.

A quick question though, if Peyton shapeshifted into an older version of herself, Paige knows her daughter is back. But doesn't know she's taken over Andrea unless she lets her know. So unless when she changes back into a witch, she tries to suppress her memories of her bad days or she just has a memory problem.

Then again, maybe when she changes back into a witch, Does Peyton quickly cover her tracks by shapeshifting into someone else much like Cole did with the Seer, so they don't find out yet.

NOTE FROM ES: We need a press release here announcing that Shannen and Alyssa will return for this episode!

And I see that Pheebs put one together. YAY!

Great suggestion for what to do with it, when someone or if anyone takes a crack at making one.

I love this idea!

Been busy as of late. But I've got a little time to dig into Season Five or an episode or two to review now. 

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)



Season 5, Episode 1: 'The Trial of Piper Warren, Part Two’



THE RETURN OF CLASSIC ‘CHARMED’ STARS SHANNEN DOHERTY AND ALYSSA MILANO - The final season of 'Elemental Charmed’ begins with the Warrens try a last desperate attempt to save Piper, whose judgment day has finally arrived. Having discovered the truth behind Peyton and Andrea, the family hopes to be able to use this to convince everyone that it wasn’t Piper who killed Bridget. But will this mean putting Andrea in prison when it was Peyton who actually murdered Bridget?



During the trial, the Warrens’ ancestors Mary Ann (special guest star Alyssa Milano) and Jenna (special guest star Shannen Doherty) show up, pretending to be cousins, but actually there to expose some unexpected Warren history which reveals something shocking about Jenna and Peyton - something the Warrens never imagined.



Piper is found guilty, but to everyone's surprise, Mary Ann and Jenna's revelations lead Peyton to visit Piper in her prison cell and make an expected offer, one that might grant Piper her freedom, but in doing so, might destroy the Warren line forever by exposing them all as witches.

SASHA: What a great way to start Season Five. I love seeing Mary Ann and Jenna again, which I assume is for the final time. Poor Andrea, she's really taking the fall. But I love it, because she means so much to all of them, and not having one of the love interests or such being that person. This takes it all back to the Warren family. I feel so much for Andrea, and cannot wait to see where the story goes with Peyton.

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)



Season 5, Episode 2: ’Mom, I Think I've Been Possessed by a Demoness'



PIPER'S HOMECOMING CRUISE IS ANYTHING BUT RELAXING — With Piper cleared of all charges, and Peyton keeping her promise to get out of Dodge, for now, the other Warrens prepare a welcome home cruise for Piper, but in typical-Warren fashion, it doesn't go without a little trouble. The first few days are wonderful, but when her actual birthday arrives, things turn dire when the Demoness of Possession starts inhabiting innocents on the cruise.



As the Warrens search the ship for the Demoness, she gains control of the birthday girl. Finding out, Paige transports herself and Phoebe back to the Manor, so they can check their family book of shadows, but they are unprepared for an uninvited visitor – a warlock who is the Demoness of Possession’s accomplice.



Back on the cruise ship, Prudence has a premonition that reveals more to the demoness that it does to her – what happened during Prudence and Allen’s honeymoon many decades ago, something Prudence has tried hard to keep secret. But what will happen if the Demoness reveals the secret?

SASHA: I really like this episode. Also love that it connects back to Prudence and Allen's honeymoon, which I imagine also happened on a cruise possibly too?

I love the drama, that not everything is running smoothly when they arrive at the manor with a warlock waiting for them. 




I'll read and review these later when I can. But put these here for reference.

Season 5, Episode 3: ’The Way Prudence and Allen Were’



WHAT’S TOO PAINFUL TO REMEMBER…— While recovering from the cruise disaster, the Warrens learn that part of Prudence's memory is still blocked. The other Warrens cast a spell that allows her daughters to enter Prudence's mind to find out what has been repressed and why. Patience and Paige are shocked to find out that their Aunt Andrea may no longer be the person they think she is. Can they save Andrea without destroying Paige’s daughter yet again?

Season 5, Episode 4: 'Manor Bound'



BIRTHDAY BLUES - The Warrens throw Phoebe and Paige another joint belated birthday party, but in typical-Warren fashion, it doesn't go without a little trouble. Something is keeping the five Warrens stuck inside Warren Manor. None of their Elemental powers give them a means of escape, not even Prudence’s Element of Spirit.



As long as they're stuck, the five women try to sort out their future:



Phoebe, who only needs a few more credits before finally graduating college, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to intern at a major newspaper in Boston - and she'd get to work for her favorite reporter. But despite Salem's proximity to Boston, Phoebe is still wary of being away from her family, especially with now that they know that Peyton is possessing Andrea.



-Piper wonders about her own future with Matthew, who should return shortly from his business trip. Does she really want to distract her family from the problem of Peyton and Andrea with the idea of planning a wedding?



-Paige can't stop wondering if she will ever figure out a way to save her daughter, Peyton, and if not, will she be able to figure a way to vanquish her that won't let her return, forcing Paige to vanquish her yet again.



-Patience is considering retiring from the police force and just taking pictures for fun for a change.



-And Prudence has a health issue that she's trying to keep secret from her family while preparing them for the inevitable.



To their surprise, when Matthew walks in the door, the five women can walk out.

Elemental Charmed

Created by Constance M. Burge

BACKSTORY:

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price…

She has known that she has the Elemental power of Spirit when she started having premonitions as a teenager. While studying to become a doctor, she married fellow witch, Allen Halliwell, and gave birth twice (with Allen agreeing to let their daughters carry the family name of Warren if any son carried his family name of Halliwell). When they grew older, Prudence discovered that her older daughter, Patience, had the Elemental power of Earth, while her younger daughter, Paige, had the Elemental power of Air. When Prudence's premonitions revealed that her two future granddaughters would have the other two Elemental powers of Water and Fire, she realized that her family was destined to become the powerful Elemental Witches. She began training her daughters in the Craft in order to prepare them for what would eventually happen to them and their own daughters, especially after a warlock murdered Allen.

While still a teenager, Paige fell in love with an older man, Sam Wilder. Although Prudence warned her against him so Paige eventually broke up with him, a couple months later she discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Peyton. When Prudence, Patience, and Paige discovered that Peyton had the Elemental power of Water, and when a couple years later Patience married non-magical Victor Bennett and had their daughter Piper, who had the Elemental power of Fire, the Warren family was certain that those five would become the Elemental Witches with each of Prudence's daughters having one child, who were cousins.

This changed when Sam came back and began influencing his eight-year-old daughter. When Peyton used her firepower to kill a classmate who was teasing her, she became a warlock like her father. Under his influence, Peyton turned on her family and much as it hurt the family, especially Patience, they ended up having to vanquish Peyton, and they were sure all was lost.

But this changed five years later, when Piper was ten and Patience gave birth to Phoebe, who had the same Elemental power as Peyton - Water. After Phoebe was born, Patience and her mother and sister decided to try to protect her daughters from what had happened to Peyton. The three older witches placed a cloaking spell on Victor and the girls before the three of them relocated to the other side of the country in San Francisco. This way the girls could be raised by their father and be protected while also having a normal childhood, something no other Warren witch had ever had.

In order to continue to protect them, Victor raised Piper and Phoebe so they didn't know that they were witches or destined to become one of the Elemental Witches – they were always just his little girls. They even use his last name, Bennett, as their own. They’ve visited their grandmother, mother (who they believed divorced their father, but agreed to let him have custody so that she could live her own life as a forensic photographer for the Salem Police Department) during summer vacations and they always go back to Warren Manor for Christmas.

But as our series begins, Prudence has a premonition showing that Sam is back, going after Piper and Phoebe, so the two are in danger. Paige uses her Elemental power of Air to transport herself, her mother and her sister to her nieces. They're too late to prevent Sam from murdering Victor, but thanks to Prudence's premonition, Patience uses her Elemental power of Earth to throw Sam into a wall before he can harm her daughters. Then Prudence, Patience and Paige use a potion and a spell to vanquish Sam. Seeing the shock in her daughters’ eyes, Patience reveals that she, her mother and her sister are witches with elemental powers – and so are Piper and Phoebe. She lets them decide if they want her to unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem to be with their family. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agree to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound. They agree to join their mother and aunt, who along with their grandmother who uses her premonitions and knowledge to guide her daughters and granddaughters. The five Warren women are now the Elemental Witches, setting out to protect those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS:

Prudence Warren: Aged 70. Much the same as the Grams we know and shake our head at, she's the strict, fiery matriarch of the Warren family. She's very much like Prue Halliwell, initially strict but because she will have suffered fewer losses than the "real Grams" she becomes more mellow and softer. She has the Elemental power of Spirit which gives her premonitions. She was a doctor but is now retired, although now she uses her skills along with potions to heal her family’s injuries.

Patience Warren: Prudence's older daughter, aged 50. Pretty much the Patty we know and love, although even more kind and caring. She functions as the "balance" of the family as Piper was in the classic series, but unlike Piper Halliwell, she is the most selfless person of all and always has time to help those in need, although that often gets her in trouble. Like Prue Halliwell, she's a photographer, but unlike Prue, she works with the Salem police. She has the Elemental power of Earth which allows her to throw anything.

Paige Warren: Prudence's younger daughter, aged 40. Again, she is basically the same as her namesake, except she is Patty's sister, not Piper and Phoebe's. She's sometimes irresponsible and impulsive and not always in touch with reality. Much in the same way Prue would lecture Phoebe at being irresponsible in the classic series, Prudence would be the same with this "Paige". Like Paige Matthews, she's a social worker. Paige has the Elemental power of Air, which allows her to use the wind to move herself and anyone else to wherever she wants to go.

Piper Warren: Patience's older daughter, aged 30. Again much like Piper Halliwell, but rather than being shy, she's very fiery, like later-season Piper without constantly feeling sorry for herself (although she does miss her normal life..,), and because there are no whitelighters, she never falls for one. Like Piper Halliwell, she owns her own restaurant and is a very good cook, so she's the one who makes most of the potions. She has the Elemental power of Fire, which allows her to form and throw fireballs, but like Piper Warren herself, the power isn't evil.

Phoebe Warren: Patience's younger daughter, aged 20. Also much like Phoebs Halliwell (and never like PhoeME Halliwell), but like her grandmother, mother, aunt and sister, the fact that she was born in Warren Manor has nothing to do with whether she can easily turn evil - all five have free will and can decide if they want to do good or evil. Phoebe is still in college and works on the school paper. She has always loved to write and is the one who comes up with most of the original spells. Phoebe has the Elemental power of Water which allows her to freeze molecules.

PRESS RELEASES FOR ‘ELEMENTAL CHARMED’ FROM THE CW AND CBS-TV

"Simply ‘Charmed’ Again"

Reboot From Original Creator Gets CW Pilot Orders

For a second consecutive year, the CW has handed out its first two pilot orders to a high-profile reboot of a long-running series from CBS TV Studios.

This time the network has greenlighted a new ‘Charmed’ from the show's original creator, Constance M. Burge. The project will reunite Burge with three of her fellow writing staff: Sheryl. J Anderson and the popular team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin. Also joining the project is Paul Ruditis, known for his work on the popular ‘Charmed’ comic series and author of several ‘Charmed’ novels. Burge will act as executive producer while the others will write all of the episodes.

The CW originally tried to bring back ‘Charmed’, one of the signature dramas of predecessor The WB, last season, when it ordered a reimagining of the classic Aaron Spelling series from the same creative auspices. It was to be set in 1976 and feature a new trio of witches. The project was rolled over to this development season.

The new ‘Charmed’ script, penned by Anderson and Ruditis and based on a story by Burge, is set in present time. Per The CW, whose brass greenlighted the pilot shortly after getting the script, “this new dark, dramatic ‘Charmed’ reboot" of the classic series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

The CW Picks Up ‘Elemental Charmed’ Pilot To Series

The CW has made its new series orders. The network has ordered two reboots, including the new fantasy drama 'Elemental Charmed', from Constance M. Burge, the original series creator of the classic series 'Charmed' back in 1998 for the upcoming 2018–2019 season.

Penned by Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis and created by Burge, the “Charmed” reboot pilot centers around centers on five women, not three, and unlike the original classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

The show will star TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5.

Giving new meaning to “third time’s a charm,” this reboot has been attempted twice before — first for CBS in 2013, then again for The CW in 2017. That second attempt was to be set in the 1970s, centered around three women of no blood relation, an idea that was eventually tweaked to become the pilot that earned this series order.

The original Classic Charmed series ran for eight seasons (1998–2006) on The WB and starred the likes of Holly Marie Combs (Pretty Little Liars), Alyssa Milano (Mistresses), Rose McGowan (Citizen Rose) and Shannen Doherty (Beverly Hills, 90210).

Details of the new series are below:

”Elemental Charmed‘s” EP and Stars On Staying True To The Original and What’s To Come In Season One – Comic Con

The executive producer and cast of “Elemental Charmed”, The CW’s dark, dramatic 'Charmed' reboot, took the stage on Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con following a screening of the pilot episode, written by Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis and based on a story by executive producer, Connie Burge. Present today were starring cast members TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and TBC5, along with Burge.

This new version is set in modern times in Salem, MA and follows two sisters 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, and I feel like that’s what we need again right now. The writers agreed with me, and Sheryl and Paul did a fantastic job turning my story into a script. Fortunately The CW liked it, too,” said Burge about rebooting the 1998-2006 series she created.

The first episode wasted no time in expanding the concepts of different background experiences and ages, with each of the Warrens coming from a different generation, while featuring a few nods to the WB Network original "Charmed" series.

"We want to be like “Charmed” that lets our viewers check into our series, enter our fantasy world and allow all the troubles in the real world to go away for an hour each week." Burge revealed about what they hope the viewers will take away from the new series. "We believe that will allow our series to still be relevant and fun to watch 20 years from now, just like “Charmed”."

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

“So many people have told me that they loved the original,” she said. ”We thought a new series would be a great way to thank all of the fans who have remained so loyal throughout the years. Originally we wanted to just redo the series, but so many fans will only think of Shannen Doherty playing Prue Halliwell or Holly Marie Combs playing Piper Halliwell or Alyssa Milano playing Phoebe Halliwell along with all the rest, that we decided to change it to this. Thanks to these changes, although it's still deeply rooted in the original, this series will not just be rooted in sisterhood like the original, but also motherhood and family ties of women sticking together, juggling everyday life while also relying on each other to navigate the world we live in today."

Expressing the same sentiments, TBC2 said, “Since Connie created the original, of course we can’t help but be very respectful of the original, which TBC1, TBC3 and I all loved when we were young, but what Connie and the writers really wanted to do was allow other viewers who watched the classic 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 about their powers and gaining more control of their powers,” teased Burge. “The juggling of everyday problems, their jobs or schoolwork for Phoebe with the latest warlock or supernatural attack.”

Everything You Need To Know About The ‘Charmed’ Reboot “Elemental Charmed”

In our exclusive interview with Executive Producer Connie Burge, we dig deep and reveal five secrets from the “Elemental Charmed”.

'Charmed' is one of television’s most iconic series led by female stars, and it is the love for the series that prompted The CW to give it a reboot and specifically ask the original creator, Constance M. Burge, to take on the task of rebooting the series that was originally based on her and her sisters, hence why sisterhood was always so important to the series.

'Charmed' is returning in the fall of 2018, but it isn’t the same Power of Three that fans remember, and while some are adamantly against a reboot, saying that it's much too soon, others are open to it. The new 'Charmed' aims to bring the same female empowerment and entertainment to audiences now as the “Charmed” did during its eight-season run from 1998-2006 starring Shannen Doherty (seasons 1-3), Holly Marie Combs (seasons 1-8), Alyssa Milano (seasons 1-8), and Rose McGowan (seasons 4-8), but with a modern twist. Ahead of the new 'Charmed', here is everything you need to know about “Elemental Charmed”:

5. The Premise

In early 2018, after what seemed like years of rumors about the show coming back, The CW finally announced it had ordered a pilot for a 'Charmed' reboot, specifically asking the original creator of the series to write the story and choose the writers. The logline from the network for the series reads: "Set in Salem, MA, and follows two sisters 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 and outside jobs, a witch’s work is never done.” Rather than Halliwell, their family name is Warren, honoring “Charmed”'s Melinda Warren, the first Warren to be born in America. But unlike “Charmed”, these Warren women really have kept their maiden name...

4. Their Powers

Rather than a Power of Three, we have a unit of five based around the five elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Each Warren will be able to tap into her own element, which will allow her to do things that the non-magical and other witches cannot. Their symbol isn't the triquetra but the pentagram.

3. Differences

There are several other distinct changes between the classic and the reboot. While the classic series was based in San Francisco, the new series is set in Salem so it can bring up the infamous witch trials. Also with two sets of sisters - one of one set the mother of the other set - the series will focus on not just sisters, but all types of relationship with mother-daughters, grandmother-grandchildren, and niece-aunt. Although the names will sound familiar: Prudence (never Prue!), Patience (never Patty!), Paige, Piper and Phoebe (never Phoebs), their last name is Warren and Prudence is the matriarch while Patience and Paige are her daughters and Piper and Phoebe are Patience's daughter. They're also each from a different generation: Prudence is 70; Patience is 50; Paige is 40; Piper is 30 and Phoebe is 20. This is quite different from most The CW projects and The CW is very curious to see how it all works out.

2. The Trailer

After announcing the reboot in early 2018, no one expected the series to be ready for the Fall 2018 TV season. But The CW went full steam ahead into development, and on May 17, 2018 the first trailer was released. Warren Manor is noticeably similar to Halliwell Manor, with some slight differences, including an obvious attic and painted grey rather than pink. It first gives us a glimpse of the lives of the three older Warrens before Patience's daughters' father is killed in San Francisco where the younger set lives, leading to the younger set discovering their own powers and their family's destiny as the Elemental Witches.

The trailer not only introduced the new Elemental Witches but also revealed that their own family book of shadows (not The Book of Shadows) still plays a major part, along with the matriarch's premonitions. Also back are warlocks, which will play a much larger part in this new take – in this series, witches who kill non-magicals (not mortals, since the Warrens and warlocks are also mortals) become warlocks and warlocks who save an innocent become witches - and in this series, innocents are non-magicals who are innocent of the existence of magic - and protecting innocents from all sorts of other supernatural evils, including the Demonesses of...

Yes, unlike the classic series, this one is truly female-centric.

1. Premiere Date

Following the release of the official trailer, everyone wanted to know when the series would finally hit the air, and The CW made an interesting decision. “Elemental Charmed” will premiere on Sunday, October 14, 2018, capitalizing off the theme of witches and the supernatural with the fall/Halloween season. Sunday night can be a dangerous choice for a new series, but the network slotted the premiere at 9 p.m. which is prime time, and also placed it after the hit series 'Superwoman', making Sunday nights the ultimate girl-power nights on the network.

"Charmed" stars offer their support to "Elemental Charmed'"

Rose McGowan, the actress who played half-sister Paige after the departure of Shannen Doherty in the "Charmed" series, has given the go-ahead to the reboot. The actress has posted a message on Twitter: "I wish everyone the best. I have no problem with the reboot. Fly, women, fly."

McGowan revealed "Hearing that Constance Burge is going to be the executive producer, I feel the reboot is in good hands. I never got to work with her - never even met her, but after all, she created the original story. So I have full faith in her for taking care of her baby. I'm so excited that 'Charmed' fans can identify with the older stars while a new generation can get attached to the two younger stars and grow up with good role models for the world we live in today."

"But," she added, "I also fully supported Holly Marie Combs about the feelings and honor of 'Charmed'."

Indeed, Holly Marie Combs (who played Piper Halliwell in the "Charmed" series) has since changed her tune when she was informed realized that the series was in the hands of Constance Burge. "I got worked up because Charmed has a special place in my heart, but when I found out that Connie and Sheryl and Paul and Chris and Zach are behind this project, and the reboot is much different than the ones that CBS tried to foist on fans earlier.  This concept is very good - taking what we did with a show about three sisters who happen to be witches and making it about three generations of a family who happen to be witches. Then again, I've been known to get worked up over anything. (laughs) So I wish them well, and I truly mean that."

"I’m just glad that it’s here finally because we’ve been hearing about this reboot for however many years, what has it been, maybe four years now?” Alyssa Milano who played Phoebe Halliwell in the "Charmed" series) mentioned in an interview. “And I feel like it’s either going to succeed or not, and if it succeeds again, a whole new generation will be exposed to the beauty of what "Charmed" was able to be for people, and if it doesn’t succeed, then we don’t have to hear about it anymore.” 

Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell in the "Charmed" series) revealed at an event in Santa Monica for "Stand Up to Cancer" her thoughts on the reboot: “I think it's great. I think it's awesome.”  

Doherty also had nothing but praise for Burge. “I think second lives are amazing, so I'm all for it… I'm happy to see that 'Charmed' is back in Connie's hands, that back then the show was all about strong women who supported and loved each other, and not it's coming back again in this day and age. Connie was so great the first time around, and I'm sure she'll be just as great the second time. It's about female empowerment again -- not that that's something new. "Charmed" originally was that too. I find the "Elemental Charmed" story from what I hear to be very interesting, and I especially like the take of making it about family and not just sisters. It added an interesting element that I think will allow it to stand on its own. I'm so excited for Connie and her team and wish them all the best."

Milano added: "Connie, who I've always admired for the story she crafted back in 1998, and what led me to get the best job I ever had. I'm excited to see what she has installed for us this time around."

“Elemental Charmed” will premiere Sunday, October 14 on The CW.

”Charmed” Reboot “Elemental Charmed” Hits New York Comic Con and also teases the “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 CW reboot from “Charmed”s’ creator Connie Burge.

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

Already having previewed at San Diego Comic-Con in July, the slightly-redone 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. Also scheduled is a panel with on-screen Warren family members TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5.

TBC1 who portrays Prudence, the matriarch of the family, has said, ”My first Comic-Con ever I 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."

TBC5, who portrays Phoebe, the youngest 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 to the classic series set to air on October 7th is going to be wonderful, as in full of wonder. "Sheryl, Chris, Zack (note: the writers of the series who were also writers for “Charmed”.) and I all sat down and we each contributed some 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. We’re also happy that fans will get to see pieces of a few of the episode in HD for the first time."

"I haven’t seen them myself, but I've heard the remasters have come out very nicely,” Burge added, sounding very impressed that fans will get a chance to honor their original work that inspired the new series in true magical style.

Also like SDCC, the core cast of “Elemental 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.

Classic "Charmed’s" 'The Complete First Season's Blu-ray release to be celebrated with a two-day promotional launch!

As The CW mounts a reboot of the long-running fantasy dramedy "Charmed" with the dark fantasy drama, 'Elemental Charmed', CBS Home Entertainment is releasing the original series on Blu-ray for the first time.

The trailer above gives a breakdown of how the quality changed from the standard-definition releases that have been available in the past to the HD release coming soon.

"Charmed" aired for eight seasons on The WB starting in 1998, and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano as sisters who happened to be witches.

With a brand-new remastered Blu-ray for the cult “Charmed”, a series reboot, and another high-profile rebooted witch series (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) all coming up soon, it seems there has never been a better time, strategically speaking, to make "Charmed" available again. 2018 really is the Season of the Witch!

The first season of the “Charmed” series will be having its HD release, appropriately enough, the day before Halloween on October 30.

And to celebrate the launch, fans in LA will be treated to a two-day promotional event on October 29th and 30th.

For the first time since the last episode of “Charmed” was filmed, the stars who played three sisters who happened to be witches - Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano - will be appearing onstage together. Despite past problems, all three got along well during the filming of the 20th anniversary special that will but that was in-studio filmed.

Brian Krause, Ted King, Dorian Gregory, Jennifer Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Tyler Layton, Neil Roberts, Leigh-Allyn Baker and Carlos Gomez will be among the other guests appearing at a yet-to-be disclosed location in LA for a launch party to help celebrate the release, with a special signing each day and a press event the day of the release.

Others might have attended, but since the celebration and launch party will only honor the cast and crew involved in the first season, only those were invited. This is especially true of fan favorites Rose McGowan, Julian McMahon and Drew Fuller, but all have shown full support for the upcoming "Elemental Charmed" series on their social media pages, with all three hoping for a chance to appear on the series.

CBS-TV decided on a two day events because some of the guests could only make it for a single day due to previous commitments. The actual schedule be released later, but CBS-TV assured fans that the three stars will be part of both days' events.

"Charmed: the Complete First Season" will be released as a 5-disc set in Blu-Ray on October 30th, 2018.

'Elemental Charmed' gets full order for 22-episode first season on The CW

Following the airing of the show's first three episodes, CBS Studios, which owns The CW has officially ordered a back-nine order of 9 episodes for the freshman fantasy drama series.

Charles Smith, the president of CBS Studios spoke at a recent press interview: "I'm very pleased with the results of 'Elemental Charmed'. As we hoped, it has connected with new and old fans alike, and has become a success. We hoped the series would also connect with a much older crowd, not just the younger crowd who usually watch The CW. We have a few older women among our main cast, and our aim is that the people who watched the original series will be able to relate and that their mothers and children might also be able to watch and relate."

In an interview, executive producer Constance M. Burge said she couldn't contain her excitement when she got the call from Smith himself. "I was nervous when I got the call - I thought we were already being canceled. So that relief really made my day." 

TBC5, who plays Phoebe Warren, said she was blown away by the response. Noting that although she was too young to see the original series, she added, I'm so glad that the show has found a new group of fans, and that old fans of the original series are also following the new series.

Burge said she is already working with her writers on new ideas for future episodes and already has some big storylines for the back nine episodes. 'Had we not been given an order of 22 episodes, my plan of attack was to wrap up storylines with the thirteenth episode. I never intended to end the series on a cliffhanger. Although we are currently working on the eleventh episode, I'm so thrilled that our team will be able to produce many more episodes and now we're all back in the writers' room pitching new stories for the back nine episodes."

But one of the most frequently asked questions is always if and when will the "Charmed" stars appear. Burge reassured fans: "That door isn't closed completely, but we want to focus our energy on viewers getting to know these Warren witches. We don't want to feel like we have to ride the original stars' coattails in order to be a success."

"Elemental Charmed" airs Sundays at 8:00 pm on The CW.

TWO WARRENS TAKE A WALK IN THE OTHER WARREN’S SHOES — When Prudence and Paige try to meditate an argument Piper and Phoebe are having with their mother Patience in the Manor, Phoebe decides to stay overnight with a friend in the college dorms. Later, Patience tries to distract herself with work, Prudence goes to Piper’s restaurant while Paige goes to the dorms to encourage her niece to come home. Prudence explains to one of her granddaughters while Paige explains to one of her nieces about how hard it was for Patience to have Piper and Phoebe sent away across the country, and although Patience never talks much about it, it still hurts. The two youngest Warrens learn much more about the difficulties the three older Warrens had to face, things they’d never really thought about before.

Although Piper apologizes to her mother, Phoebe turns her back on her aunt, still wanting to stay in the dorm. Feeling like she’s failed her family, Paige casts a spell so both can feel what the other does, but it backfires – it switches Phoebe’s and Patience's bodies.

When Patience and Phoebe realize what Paige did, they decide to keep it on the down-low and fix the mess themselves, not wanting to get grilled by Prudence. The problem is: how do they fix it if they don’t know which spell Paige used?

While Patience and Phoebe take a walk in each other's shoes, letting them understand each other better, Prudence has a premonition. She sees Paige at SSS, caught up with trying to help two innocent children, who are both actually warlocks, using the disguise of children in order to steal the powers of young witches who have yet to come into their powers. Prudence rushes to warn her daughter, but the warlocks lure them both into a trap.

Having seen so much through her mother’s eyes, Phoebe eventually says sorry to Patience, and she, Patience and Piper start planning a weekly mother-daughters dinner, just for the three of them, every Thursday night at 6 pm in the private dining room at Piper’s restaurant, but her manager will do all of the cooking and serving so Piper won’t have to.

But before they can celebrate this wonderful newfound mother-daughter bonding, the three of them have to rescue the other two Warrens. Will they be able to adapt the spell to put Phoebe and Patience back in their own bodies, so they can properly use their Elemental powers or will these two Elemental Witches be unable to use their own power forever?

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching "Charmed"?’

IN A TRIBUTE TO "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire.

Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry", one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers, to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.

But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem that she's never actually grieved father, Victor's death.

After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly studying for her test, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her how to do this - a certain potion that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.

Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige knows something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.

Paige reminds her as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which won’t only help the Banshee, but also Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.

But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

Season 1, Episode 10: 'The Warrens Who Saved Christmas'

A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS-THEMED EPISODE - Celebrating Christmas was always a big part of Piper and Phoebe's lives growing up. Although they always spent Christmas with their grandmother, mother and aunt in Warren Manor in Salem, their late father Victor would always throw on the Sunday before Christmas and although they'd never admit it to their Warren relatives, Victor's were always the best since it was always all about Piper and Phoebe, not the rest of the family. So this Sunday before Christmas - the first time they haven't celebrated Christmas with him - has both of them not wanting to celebrate Christmas at all this year and even have them wanting to ditch the traditional Warren Christmas Eve dinner.

But when the two are off at the mall deciding on gifts for their family, they find a father who has lost touch with his daughters and has one year left before he'll die of cancer. The sisters have to help this man. But when they cast a spell that Phoebe writes, it backfires, sending the two of them on a little journey through time, as they watch the life of this man with them popping in and out of various times of his life. It lets them appreciate Victor even more than they already did, but not just Victor, but also their grandmother, mother and aunt. They finally admit that it's just not right that they spoil Prudence's, Patience's and Paige's Christmas, especially when they know how much Patience is also missing Victor. They decide to throw themselves full-heartedly into Christmas.

Meanwhile Patience is going nuts wondering what happened to her daughter, so to try to keep her mind off of it, she goes back to frantically searching for the perfect gift for her daughters on this first Christmas when they're living in Salem.
She knows that somewhere in the attic, there's an old family video of the last-ever Christmas they spent together before Piper and Phoebe moved away to live with Victor across the country. She considers casting a lost and found spell, but Prudence stops her before she does, even as she presents Patience with the video - it's been in Prudence's rom all this time.

Even as they laugh over this, Paige comes running up, complaining about the spoiled little girl next door. She's been wrecking havoc on the whole neighborhood, trying to ruin Christmas for everyone since she wants her dad to be miserable for divorcing her mother and marrying another woman. This little girl hates her stepmother for the very simple reason that she's not her mother. This time the little girl set fire to the Warrens' backyard and the Warrens had to fight it the old-fashioned way since the witch who has power over the element of water - Piper - isn't around.

The three decide to use a spell to teach this girl the true meaning of Christmas. Even as they do, Piper and Phoebe come back. When they tell the others what they've learned, Patience decides to present the girls with the video and they spend the Sunday before Christmas - the day the girls celebrated Christmas with Victor - watching the video.

Now the Warrens are left struggling to master their new powers, while the two warlocks use their new powers to have one up on the Warrens, since the power of premonitions works in their favor, nearly killing Piper. Will they be able to cast another Power of the Elemental spell to fix this when they only have control of three of the Elements?

”Elemental Charmed” Renewed for Season Two, Moves To CBS-TV

CBS-TV has picked up its first new series for next season, and it is not that new. After weeks of speculation, “Elemental Charmed” will move from cable channel The CW to its broadcast sister network CBS, which has renewed the fantasy drama for a second season.

The pickup, which comes hours after the most recent deadline for The CW to renew freshman series, will find its new home at CBS-TV, with the likes of other old properties which have in the past few years been rebooted and redeveloped for the CBS audience, especially for those whose cable systems do not include The CW.

An “Elemental Charmed” move to CBS-TV had been rumored for a while, with talks becoming real the last few days. A CBS pickup was contingent on finding a way to produce a show of that scale and since CBS-TV also partners The CW network, the decision to move the series should make for a smooth transition.

CBS-TV had frequently been mentioned as a suitable home for “Elemental Charmed” because the show’s audience tending to skew older than the ones who usually watch The CW, the CBS-TV president's public comments about regretting not going after the project when it was originally pitched, and the fact that CBS-TV is owned by CBS Studio, which also co-owns part of The CW.

This is the complete opposite of what happened a few years back, when ‘Supergirl’ was rumored to be moving from CBS-TV to The CW; this time a series originally aired on The CW is making the move.

Despite the fact that its numbers were consistent for The CW and the series would have still been ordered for a second season, they found that most of their younger core audience wasn't responding to the series, which center around three generations of a family of witches.

Producer Connie Burge explained in an interview: "Although The CW was very supportive of our show, we didn't find it connected with the younger audience, and the network felt this would have meant the series would undergo a revamp in the second season, only featuring TBC4 and TBC5, who play Piper and Phoebe, the youngest members of the Warren family, something we didn't want to do."

TBC1 who plays Prudence, the matriarch of the Warren family, joked to interviewers: ”I was convinced that had the series stayed on The CW, I would be out of a job, because they would have killed me off."

But TBC1 turned serious as she added, "The move will allow the show to still remain the staple it was on The CW; we just found that the audience connected with us older women just as much as they connected with the younger ones. I am really pleased with the move, and look forward to our show telling more great stories about the Warren women."

Burge relieved panicking fans, announcing that "All of the Warrens are coming back for Season Two, the foundation and mythology we set up in our first season will progress in Season Two. We will continue to tell great stories for these Warren women." Burge also hinted that the second season might go deeper into the family lives of the Warrens. We could possibly see some backstories forming from some of the Warrens.

Classic ‘Charmed’ stars Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano to guest star in undisclosed roles for the season finale of “Elemental Charmed”

The former stars of the classic series ‘Charmed’ have both booked guest-starring roles in the series' upcoming season finale set to air May 19th.

Connie Burge, who created the classic series that starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan and is executive producer for the new series, had been considering bringing the former stars onto the show for some time. "I've been trying to find suitable roles for Shannen, Alyssa, Holly, and Rose. But I just couldn't find the right story. But after collaboration with Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin, who co-wrote the season finale, we think we’ve found the perfect roles for them."

Doherty revealed that she was called about appearing in “Elemental Charmed” and admits she was hesitant to take the offer. But after hearing what Burge had planned for her character, and then hearing that Burge had talked to Milano who would also be appearing. Doherty felt the timing was right, and that fans of the classic series would really like what Burge has planned.

Milano told the press: "Just being approached was such an honor. I spent eight years of my life with '‘Charmed’', so this was almost like a high-school reunion, and when I heard Shannen was also going to be a part of it, I really wanted to do it. I haven't worked with Shannen in nearly 20 years, but the two of us have connected through social media for a while and I can't wait to see her again."

Burge mentioned that she hopes that other stars like Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause and Julian McMahon could appear in the series further down the line. "I don't want to overcrowd this series with too many guest appearances, not when we already have five stars. But it's not out of the question."

Doherty and Milano will start filming their scenes for the season finale later in April.

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘Two Warrens in a Strange, Strange Land’

WHAT IF MARY ANN AND JENNA'S PARENTS NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICA? — When Piper’s new restaurant makes a national magazine’s List of The Top 100 Best Restaurants, the Warrens gather to celebrate. But as the family toasts Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends them out to rescue an innocent going against three warlocks.

Suddenly a vortex opens up, grabbing Piper and Phoebe and their innocent and plopping them in the middle of a dimension where warlocks rule the dimension, and witches are near extinction. To top it off, all of the warlocks that the Warrens have vanquished throughout time are now very much alive. All of this is because Penelope Warren and her husband Joshua never made it to America alive, but were killed when some warlocks sunk their ship. This means that Mary Ann Warren was never born, which also means the Elemental Witches do not exist.

Back in the original dimension, Paige transports the remaining Warrens home and after some research in their family book of shadows, have come to the conclusion that Piper and Phoebe may be in another dimension. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their book that tells them how to reopen the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper and their innocent are rescued by some of the remaining witches. There they are surprised to when their innocent takes off her glamor to reveal herself as Andrea Halliwell! The two Warrens look at each other in shock.

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

GENTLE PATIENCE HAS KILLED? — Patience's coworkers in the Salem Police Department  have decided to honor her for 20 years of distinguished service. But one of the cops who has always been jealous of Patience's accomplishments and who resents that his own work as a cop has gone unnoticed for 30 years, sets out to ruin Patience's reputation.

Later, Patience is tasked with giving a forensic photographer intern for five days of training but is also not who she appears to be. She's really a warlock, and when she hears about Patience's coworker, she and the coworker join forces to make the new intern the full-time photographer, replacing Patience, while the co-worker's work will finally get noticed. The warlock sabotages Patience's darkroom, adding a potion of her own to the chemicals in her darkroom. Now whenever Patience develops a photo, smelling the potion in the chemicals puts her into a trance and she takes photos of members of the SPD that nobody wants the public to see.  Developing those pictures just makes things worse. In the meantime, the warlock takes the perfect pictures that also highlight the cop's work.

Phoebe is on spring break and has opted not to accompany her friends to Boston due to becoming sick at the last minute. Now recovered with three days until spring break concludes, she decides to get out of the house and jog around the neighborhood and notices one of their neighbors taking his rage out on his two young children. When she tells Prudence and Piper what she saw, Prudence has a premonition of one of the young children being killed by a car.

They ask for assistance from Paige who uses the SSS database and discovers that the father has recently lost his wife and the reports say he might lose custody of the children if he doesn't control his drinking. Now the Warrens set out to save the children.

But with Patience under her trance, she gets angry when she finds out and marches into the house and takes pictures of the man beating his children. The warlock, who has been following her, tells the cop who catches Patience invading the privacy of the public without a warrant, so he arrests Patience. But the warlock makes it worse: she uses a spell to turn one of the photos of the man beating his children into one of Patience killing the young boy with her car. 

Will the Warrens be able to stop Patience from doing what she has no control over? Can they save Patience's reputation as a forensic photographer and help a troubled family and rescue the young child?

Season 1, Episode 19: 'The Isaac Flower'

CONTINUAL TOUCH OF A FLOWER CAN KILL — It's springtime in Salem, and Prudence tends the Warren family garden of herbs by doing some much-needed spring planting. She asks Phoebe to go into town for some groceries and also stop at the local Wicca herbs and spices stores for more magical needs.

Phoebe finishes her list and is about to head for home when she notices a new flower shop has just opened across the street. Inside, a young woman raves about a certain 'Isaac Flower'. Seeing it, Phoebe is fascinated by it, but when she brings it home and sets it on her windowsill, she can't stop touching it and each time she does, she feels weaker. Little does she know, each time she touches it, it drains more of her energy.

The next morning, the store delivers free sample of the Isaac Flower to both Piper's restaurant and Salem Social Services and the flowers affect Piper and Paige the same way. But it’s not just them. Piper’s employees and customers and Paige’s fellow social workers and their clients are suffering the same effects.

Fortunately when Patience presents Prudence with one of the flowers, Prudence recognizes it and stops her daughter before she can touch it.

Checking their family book of shadows, Prudence and Patience learn that the young woman selling the Isaac Flower is a warlock trying to use the energy trapped in the Isaac Flower to revive her mother, who was cursed a long time ago to remain in a slumber state and become one with the flowers. Doing some more research in other books, the two Warrens discover that a century ago, this warlock endangered the local forests of Salem by harming the wood nymphs.

Although the nymphs are invisible to all humans, including witches, thanks to her Elemental Power of Earth, although Patience can’t see the nymphs, she can hear and communicate with them.

But will the nymphs be willing to help when time is running for the citizens of Salem, including Paige, Piper and Phoebe who are affected by the Isaac Flowers? The warlock has put them all in trances, and summoned them to her garden. There they each present the warlock with their Isaac Flower. Even as the victim drops to the ground in a faint, the warlock transfers the energy in the flowers to her mother, hoping to break the curse by reviving her mother from her slumber.

CAMP EVIL! A POPULAR LEGEND THAT ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS — When Patience arrives at a crime scene where two children have been murdered deep in the woods near a local camp, she discovers that the local campers believe the legend of the Blair Witch, and when she finds out why they believe, she wonders.

But when Patience tells her family about it, both Prudence and Paige laugh it off as nothing but a myth that someone used to make money in films and fiction books, especially because if this witch had truly killed children, the legend would be about a warlock, not a witch. But when Patience tells her family that people have been murdered at the same time in the same place every year, for the last 50 years, the laughter turns into curiosity. They decide to investigate and prove whether this legend is real or not.

To their surprise the Blair Witch isn't a witch or even a warlock at all, but the spirit of a wailing child. This young boy has been haunting the local camp at the same time every year for the past 50 years.

Patience's investigation takes her to a local cabin deep in the woods, where she crosses path with another suspicious female resident in the cabin who vanishes when she enters. To her surprise, she receives a vision of the past that reveals that the female in the cabin was the mother of the young boy, who drowned her child.

When Prudence has a premonition of the mother killing Patience, can the Warrens figure out how to rescue Patience, and reunite the young boy and his mother reunited so they can cross over?

Sitting onstage were TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and TBC5, along with Exec Producer Connie Burge.

While there was no official word on the series' future, currently in its 2nd season, Burge hinted at a strong possibility that a Season Three renewal announcement was on the horizon. When asked about the introduction of story arcs in Season Three as compared to the standalone episodes used in Seasons One and Two , Burge responded, “That we will visit it next season if we get another season. We’re talking about expanding the show into more serialized stories and less episodic.” This made the crowd erupt in cheers, putting a smile on Burge's face.

Also suggesting more seasons to come, when Burge was asked about how she feels the show has done following its move to CBS from The CW last year, she said, “We knew it was a decision that would benefit everyone, and the response has been met with nothing but praise, and CBS is behind us all the way. Right now it's just the normal television procedures on waiting for a renewal, nothing new."

A Season Three renewal would come as no surprise as the series continues to be a sturdy ratings performer — linearly and digitally– for the network. CBS President Charles Smith has stated that the show will carry on as long as the actresses want to do it and this show has so much more to offer. Judging from the exchange of adoration and gratitude for each other and the show during today’s talk (“There are many reasons why I still truly enjoy doing this show. I mean we're only in our second year, the training wheels have come off and we're ready to grow,” said TBC2), it doesn’t seem like the cast is ready to hang up their book of shadows just yet.

Season Three aside, the stars offered some tidbits on what’s to come as the current season wraps production in exactly seven days.

"We have such an incredible storyline to end the season," teased TBC3. "My character Paige is involved in a storyline that really challenges me as an actress."

“Paige is okay,” Burge assured fans. “I think Paige has lots of issues she needs to work out. We have touched on her daughter, and bits and pieces of the backstory surrounding the Warrens and I'm so excited for our third season, of course, if we're picked up. Because if we are, next year would be very much a season of secrets and past revelations and we're hoping to dabble in a little time travel too."

“Fan favorite TBC6, who plays Prudence's sister-in-law Andrea Halliwell, will also be returning next year. With the stories we want to tell and because Andrea doesn't live in Salem, we have to be creative in how we use her. She won't be back for any more episodes this season, but we hope she appears at least once each season. We've had so much fun exploring Philadelphia this season, and it was really fun to do several episodes that included Warrens in Salem at the same time other Warrens were in Philadelphia. But I'm most excited to see more of her. But I'm most excited to see more of her, I just never want to make the mistake of overusing her. The story is always going to star the five Elemental Warrens. That is what will always be the most important part of our series.

Back on the show's upcoming season finale storyline, the preview reel showed what appears to be our usually very calm Patience becoming very aggressive over the smallest disagreement with her mother Prudence. Also in the reel was a very different Paige who was not her usual self. The reel then showed these two Warrens collapsing on the floor, with Prudence frantically flipping through their family book of shadows. There were various clips from other episodes, but these clips proved to be the most talked about.

Burge teased, "There is a very good reason for the way Paige and Patience are acting. Let's just say we're going to be introducing a new villain who will be a big part of the storyline and the Warrens are going to be mixing with warlocks like never before. Something we haven't done so far in the series. I'm really looking forward to it. Because it will be a life and death situation that won't just affect just the Warrens - it will bring all witches and warlocks together like never before".

“Elemental Charmed” airs Sundays on CBS.

CBS-TV Renews “Elemental Charmed” for Third Season

“Elemental Charmed” will be returning, proving that third time's a charm. The third season renewal will again be for an order of 22 episodes, just like the previous

The series renewal was considered a no-brainer. Having moved from The CW to CBS, many were very nervous. But CBS-TV President Charles Smith stated, "The show has done very well this year, and been a sturdy ratings performer — linearly and digitally – for the network. I'm thrilled that the cast and crew of “Elemental Charmed” will be back to tell more great stories and continuing the magic."

Burge said the announcement came as no surprise since CBS has supported them and backed up and believed in them. 'Although I was still was very much in that 1% of doubt, I knew it was just a normal television procedure. I'm very excited to get back into the writing room and for us to start plotting Season Three. Because I know Sheryl and Paul have been itching to write a particular storyline for some time. But we just didn't think earlier was the right time to do it."

Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis wrote the original pilot, along with the Season One finale and Season Two premiere and are scheduled to write the Season Two finale, so they would be expected to write the Season Three premiere.

TBC5, who plays Phoebe, was very happy to hear about the renewal. "When I got the call, the first thing I did was tell my mother, who I know is a big fan, having watched every episode of the classic series while I was still much too young to watch until I saw her DVDs as a teen. But she's since followed this series and has always been my number one supporter. She's the one who encouraged me to audition for this series."

The news comes one week following the show's trip to PaleyFest 2020, which previewed a highlight reel with upcoming storylines, and teased a life-and-death situation could rock the Warrens forever.

“Elemental Charmed” airs Sundays on CBS and stars TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5 with Constance M. Burge as executive producer.

The second season finale is set to air on Sunday, May 17, 2020.

Season 2, Episode 21: ’Will their Powers Wither?'(Part One)'

THE START OF THE TWO-PART SEASON FINALE —It’s summer and, surprisingly, the Warrens have continue their lives without any supernatural interferences. Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper; Patience and Paige are on their annual summer leave from work and are spending a month together in Florida. Piper is in the process of hiring a new manager after her old one decided to start one of her own, and as usual, Prudence spends her time in her garden when she’s not at a number of not-for-profit organization.

But when Patience and Paige return from their vacation, something is very different about them – both are usually the most level-minded, gentle people you’d know, but now Patience, of all people, is having violent tendencies and Paige is being aggressive over the smallest disagreement. To top it off, when attempting to rescue an innocent from a warlock, both Patience and Paige act like they don't care, and when it’s time to use their powers, both of them can’t use them properly.

Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe wonder if they truly just don't care and are faking it, or something else happened on the vacation to cause the change. The three manage to save the innocent without being able to vanquish the warlock. But when they return home (and they have to walk since Paige can’t/won’t transport them), both Patience and Paige collapse on the floor.

Prudence rushes to treat them, but one look and she hurries to the family book of shadows and confirms her suspicions: Wither Pox. This very rare virus doesn’t affect non-magicals but weakens a witch’s or a warlock’s powers over time so that eventually the powers cease to exist. The book also explains that the more their powers weaken, the more they will show very violent or aggressive tendencies, which usually leads to them killing the people they love. The book adds that nobody has been able to figure out how Wither Pox is transmitted from one witch or warlock to another.

Later, the warlock they were trying to stop shows up at the Manor with two members of her warlock coven. The other members explain that she’s showing early signs of Wither Pox and when they found out that Patience’s and Paige’s powers didn’t work, they figured that they were the source, but won’t tell how or why they know. Now the warlock coven wants to make an alliance with the Warrens to find a potion that will stop Wither Pox from destroying all witches and warlocks forever. But in order to do that, both parties must agree to try to destroy the other.

Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe exchange glances. They know that they can’t trust a warlock, especially a coven of them, but the look that Prudence gives her granddaughter tells them that she knows of no way to save her daughters. So the three of them are left with a choice: Do they work with a coven of warlocks or do they vanquish them anyway and try to find another solution?

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 2, Episode 22: ’Will their Powers Wither?' (Part Two)'

WILL THE WARRENS’ DECISION COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM? — Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe have decided to make a temporary alliance (although, of course, they will never totally trust them) with their warlock foes in the hopes that all sides can find a antivirus that will cure Wither Pox.

The first step is for the Warrens to find out how Patience and Paige were first infected while the warlock coven tries to find the source of the disease. Wanting to find out what her daughters know, Prudence has Piper make a potion that will numb Patience’s and Paige’s pain. Piper warns her grandmother and sister that it potion will only last so long before the effects take over, but Prudence says that’s okay, since they only need a little time.

After hearing how Patience and Paige tried to vanquish a demoness who was harming an innocent and then they started feeling strange, Prudence realizes their enemy is the Demoness of Destruction. Phoebe is all set to hurry off to Florida and force the Demoness of Destruction to reveal how to stop the virus, especially when the warlock coven arrives, announcing that they have discovered where the demoness is – on an island off of Florida – the Warrens never would’ve found her on their own.

But Prudence wants to stay behind so she can tend to her daughters by keeping them sedated so they won’t harm anyone, and Piper and Phoebe don’t want to leave her alone, especially because she’ll also be tending the sick warlock – part of the deal. So because Prudence needs Piper to continue to make the sedation potion, Phoebe agrees to accompany one of the warlocks to Florida.

This warlock has the power to transport, which is very similar to Paige’s, the reason he was chosen. He transports Phoebe and himself to an island near Florida that the warlocks have used their powers to track the Demoness, while Prudence and Piper and the other warlock stay behind to tend to Patience, Paige and the sick warlock.

Upon arriving in Florida, they find the Demoness of Destruction but that’s when Phoebe finds out she’s been double-crossed and this is a trap – the warlock coven previously made an alliance with the Demoness in hopes of just saving the warlock race while eliminating all witches forever. Now even if Prudence finds a way to save her daughters, Phoebe’s death would mean the demoness and the warlock wouldn’t have to worry about the Elemental Witches stopping them. When Phoebe points out that if Wither Pox destroys all witches, it will also destroy all warlocks, the Demoness starts laughing. She explains that when a witch becomes a warlock, the witch's DNA is changed, just like it's changed when a warlock becomes a witch, and Wither Pox affects the DNA. She has an antivirus that will cure warlock DNA but not witch's DNA, the reason why the Demoness concocted the Pox to begin with.

Meanwhile Prudence receives a premonition of Phoebe’s death, but when she tries to phone her granddaughter to warn her, she gets no answer.

Will Prudence and Piper find a cure so they can use Paige’s transportation power to go save Phoebe, or will the warlocks succeed in wiping out all witches forever?

”Elemental Charmed” Reveals First-Look Photos of ‘Charmed’ Stars in Guest Star Roles.

Shannen Doherty (Jenna) and Alyssa Milano (Mary Ann) are shown in a heated argument in what appears to be the Salem Witch Trials, in newly-released photos from the Season 2 premiere (airing Sunday, Oct. 13 on CBS).

"Since the relationship between Mary Ann and Jenna Warren is a big part of the first episode of Season Two, we wasted no time exploring just what went down during the Witch Trials, and how Mary Ann died,” “Elemental Charmed” executive producer Constance M. Burge noted, adding that the first episode of the new season “really explore” what drove these two sisters to go from best friends to bitter enemies.

“You'll find out right away just who has taken possession of Prudence, and we waste no time resolving the cliffhanger,” Burge shared. “I really love how Sheryl and Paul tied in the past and the present. Sheryl did that so well with the episodes she wrote for ‘Charmed” - many are fan favorites, that I was thrilled when she suggested doing it again for our first cliffhanger and Season Two premiere.”

“It’s challenging to write episodes when you know you have such a star power duo like Shannen and Alyssa, because both were such a fundamental part of the “Charmed” series,” noted Paul Ruditis, who wrote both the two-part episode that ended Season One and concludes in Season Two's opening episode with Sheryl J. Anderson.


On getting to film alongside Doherty again, Milano replied, "Getting to work again with Shannen was such a wonderful experience, especially since I hadn't seen them since we filmed “Charmed” way back in 2001. When we filmed our parts for the season finale, we went right back into it as if nothing has changed. But we've both grown so much over the years, and it showed in our approach to acting. We've both gained new experiences and insights. Although this was our second episode together, it was right back to business as usual, without the formal re-introductions we had filming the season finale back in April."

Doherty remarked to the press on how much fun she had with her new character: “But it’s also exciting for Alyssa and me to have the opportunity to play around with these new characters. I really couldn't be happier with Jenna's character. She's exactly the type of character I love to play, but never really got to play as Prue Halliwell. I'm so excited that Connie let Alyssa and me be a part of “Elemental Charmed” for these two episodes."

TBC3, who grew up in the '80s and '90s watching shows that Milano and Doherty starred in, said she was so nervous when the two came onto the set back in April. "When they first came onto the set, I was speechless, unable to figure out what's the first thing I should say. I looked over at TBC2 and went, 'Can you believe who's on set?'

TBC2 laughed. 'I looked at her and was sure she was about to pass out. So I greeted them first and TBC3 actually called Shannen 'Prue' and we all laughed and that broke the ice and after that we were all fine."

Burge noted that she hasn't decided if they will reappear in any more episodes. "We just plotted these two episodes to close out Season One and open Season Two. I haven't closed the door completely. But I don't want them to steal the attention of our stars, and they made it clear that neither do they, remembering how that happened during “Charmed”. I don't see them returning any more than one or two times a season."

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano will appear in the first episode of the second season to kick start its move to CBS-TV from The CW on Sunday, Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019. The series will still air at 8-9 PM Eastern, just like it did on The CW, so fans who still want to watch 'Supergirl' on The CW can.

”Elemental Charmed” EP Breaks Down Finale Cliffhanger and Teases What's to Come"

The following contains spoilers from the Season Two finale of CBS-TV's “Elemental Charmed”

A year ago we saw “Elemental Charmed” prepare to leave The CW for CBS-TV, and no one knew how that would work out. Come one year later, and the show has gained so much success and already has a third season in the works. But in the Season Two cliffhanger, three of the Warrens' lives hung in the balance, since they were infected with the Wither Pox virus, leaving Piper and Prudence suffering the worst of times. Fans everywhere wondered if this was a flashback to “Charmed's” Season Three finale which saw Prue and Piper Halliwell dying while Phoebe was trapped in the Underworld and led to the departure of Shannen Doherty. The fans worried that last season's cliffhanger would mean the departure of another beloved star, this time Phoebe Warren in “Charmed’s” reboot “Elemental Charmed”.

Here, “Elemental Charmed’s” executive producer, Connie Burge, talks about the how she and writers Sheryl J. Anderson, Paul Ruditis, Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin constructed what will be the show's first major story arc of the series and just how it went from being a standard two-part season finale/season premiere into one huge plotline that will carry into next season.


DEADLINE | First things first, talk about the decision to end the season of “Elemental Charmed” like that with the fate of Phoebe a mystery...

Look, my main job as executive producer is to keep people coming back. So when we planned our first season, we ended on a cliffhanger, and we hoped to do that again this season. Leaving the fate of Phoebe up in the air was the perfect way to do that, along with getting viewers to wonder if Patience and Paige will keep their powers or lose them to Wither Pox. It was just that the story Sheryl, Paul and I were telling went from being the Season Two finale to both the Season Two finale/Season Three premiere, and then Chris and Zach came up with a whole web of stories, so now we have a whole storyline going into Season Three.

We always talked about potentially turning the series from episodic to serialized starting with our third season, just like what happened on “Charmed”. The point of our first couple seasons was to introduce our five Warrens, let viewers get to know them and their powers and their jobs by doing all of our wonderful standalones with them, but then branch out and build on the mythology. This will let us do that.


DEADLINE | So you are saying you are ditching the episodic element for good.

No. No. No. I won't kill what obviously has worked so well for us. The episodic stories will still have a place on our show. We're just going to find a way to mold both together and expand on having more episodes that connect from one episode to the next.


DEADLINE | Let's move on to the Wither Pox virus that is affecting both witches and warlocks. Everyone wants to know how Patience and Paige caught the virus. Will we find out how it's transmitted from one person to another?

Yes. That is something you will definitely find out, but I warn that it's a question that won't be resolved until we return for Season Three. When Sheryl and Paul were plotting the two-parter, it was originally going to be revealed during the second half of our two-parter. But when Chris and Zach came up with the idea of extending it into a full story arc and they came up with all sorts of ideas of what we could do with it, we decided that if we're going to be turning this into a much bigger story arc that runs through multiple episodes, we wouldn't want to reveal everything so soon.


DEADLINE | What was it like watching Patience and Paige act so unlike the level-minded and gentle people we've all come to know and love?

We knew when we created the Wither Pox virus that it would have side effects, and I knew that it had to have consequences for our Elemental Witches. Patience having violent tendencies and Paige being aggressive over the smallest disagreement with her family, that they almost risk killing their innocent was the perfect way to do it. And TBC2 and TBC3 were simply amazing while having the times of their lives playing totally different characters. When I saw the dailies in the editing room, I couldn't be more happy with what they did with it.

DEADLINE | What can we expect to see when we return in Season Three? Can you give us three words to describe the first episode of Season Three?

Deadly! Horrifying! Unthinkable!


DEADLINE | Lastly, three bits of housekeeping: First and most important to a lot of fans: Are Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano returning?

(laughs) You guys will keep hounding me to bring them back. (becomes serious) We've talked about possibly finding a way to work them in once a season. We already had them in two episodes: the end of Season One and the start of Season Two. It will be a question we'll talk more about when breaking Season Three in the writer's room when we go back to work. But it isn't something we want to do just because it's Shannen and Alyssa; we want it to feel when the story is right for Mary Ann and Jenna Warren to appear.

DEADLINE | Second: Will there be a time jump when we return in Season Three? So many fans didn't like how “Charmed” did a time jump from the end of Season Three to Season Four. To this day there are fans who think there's a scene or two missing. Will that happen here on “Elemental Charmed”?

No. Just like we did when we went from Season One's cliffhanger to Season Two's season premiere, we'll pick up right where we left off in Season Two. We have no intention nor does it make sense to jump forward. We're in the midst of a virus that is spreading among witches and warlocks and Phoebe might be dying. I'd like to think we'd show you everything.

DEADLINE | Finally, will the fate of Phoebe be left hanging for too long?

I will leave this interview with one definite truth and that is that Phoebe's fate will be addressed almost immediately when Season Three begins. We wouldn't want to leave our viewers hanging for much longer than that. I won't spoil it and tell you what her fate will be, but yes, you will find out what happened to her.

'Elemental Charmed" was renewed for a third season last month and is expected to premiere sometime in the fall, probably October.

ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 3, Episode 1: 'How Will We Survive Our Summer Vacation with a Virus, a Demoness of Destruction, Warlocks, and a Missing Warren?'

WILL ANDREA MAKE THE ULTIMATE CHOICE? In an island off of the coast of Florida, inside an old abandoned cabin, the Demoness of Destruction smiles down at Phoebe. We can't tell if she's just unconscious or if she's already dead. We can tell that the warlock with the transporting power is now dead, showing that the Demoness is not one to be ever be trusted.

Back in Salem, Andrea finally arrives and reveals she has been dealing with a similar outbreak of Wither Pox in Philadelphia, and the powers of one of the witches in her own coven have already ceased to exist. The remaining uninfected members of the coven have gone into hiding. Prudence and Piper reveal that they are still unable to contact Phoebe and are worried silly.

With time running out for Patience and Paige and the infected warlock to lose their powers, the Demoness of Destruction arrives with the cure. She first uses it to cure the infected warlock, then turns to the Warrens. She refuses to reveal Phoebe's fate, but only offers the Warrens a chance to cure Patience and Paige - but only if the entire family become warlocks by killing an innocent. If they do that, she'll also let them find Phoebe - either alive or dead.

No Warren would ever agree to those terms, so after warning them that their refusal has sealed their family's fate, the Demoness shimmers out, followed by the two warlocks transporting out as do the two warlocks.

Moments later Patience sits up and then jumps up from the couch, aggressively demanding that they go find and rescue her daughter. As she storms towards the door, the only way Piper can think to stop her is to form a low-power energy ball and throw it at her mother. It only knocks Patience down without actually hurting her. In anger, Paige jumps up, helps Patience up, glares at Piper and then teleports the two out, even though she knows that using her power will just hasten her losing it. But it's a risk Paige is willing to make since Wither Pox has affected her so badly that she's not thinking straight.

To top it off, no sooner are they gone than Piper starts showing signs of being infected with Wither Pox. This is when the Warrens realize that if you use your power against someone who's affected with Wither Pox, you yourself become infected.

Just when Prudence doesn't think things can get worse, they do. She receives her the most horrifying premonition of her life - again she sees Phoebe's death, but this time she sees Patience is the the one who killed her while Paige watches!

Prudence and Piper know they must put their heads together and find a cure for witches as soon as possible - but will they succeed in time to save their family?

Season 3, Episode 2: 'The Search for Phoebe Warren'

CAN PRUDENCE AND AN INFECTED PIPER STOP PATIENCE FROM DOING THE UNTHINKABLE? — Patience and Paige arrive in Florida, starting their hunt to find Phoebe. Paige can feel that she's at the very end of her powers, and one more time transporting will most likely make them cease to exist.

It takes a while with a lot of false leads, but they finally locate the cabin and confront the Demoness of Destruction, who doesn't even try to stop them from saving Phoebe. Both Patience and Paige are so affected by Wither Pox that they don't even wonder why.

When Phoebe awakens, she is so very happy to see her mother and aunt. But when Paige sees the Demoness holding a vial, her new aggressive nature caused by Wither Pox takes over. Hands clawed, ready to scratch the Demoness' eyes out, she rushes towards her, and when Phoebe tries to freeze the Demoness, the Demoness drops the vial, breaking it. Smirking, the Demoness of Destruction shimmers out. Paige yells at Phoebe for ruining everything; Patience yells at Paige for yelling at her daughter and a huge argument breaks out with Phoebe trying to settle them down, but that only makes the argument worse.

Back at the Manor, Prudence, Piper (now affected) and Andrea are frantically flipping through the family book of shadows, they come up with the idea that because it affects a witch's DNA, that if the witch strips her powers completely, which would still keep her with a witch's DNA since that never changes regardless if they strip away their powers or not, could be the cure - but it has to be an unaffected witch.

Andrea decides that if they have any hope of finding a cure, she'll be the test subject because no Elemental Witch should give up her powers to do so.

Will this cure work long enough for them to save Phoebe's life and stop Patience from accidentally killing her own daughter, or will it just needlessly strip Andrea of her powers?

A SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY EPISODE — It's that time of year when boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives all go that extra length to do something nice for their special someone. Both Phoebe and Paige are without dates, although Paige just isn't in the mood this year, especially given her track record with men, and her recent. She's busy working on an SSS case and doesn't want to be interrupted.

Then the day before Valentine's Day, there's a massive crisis at Piper's old restaurant and because she's busy organizing a Valentine's Day event at her Salem restaurant and she's also two staff members down, she has to send her boyfriend Matthew Tate to San Francisco to try to fix the problem. She's very bummed that she won't be able to spend their first Valentine's Day as boyfriend/girlfriend together, but she knows this is more important and as he tells her, there will be plenty of Valentine's Days in their future.

But both Phoebe and Paige decide that if neither of them can find happiness with a guy this year, they want at least one Warren to have a special day. So Paige transports Phoebe to San Francisco and it's she who helps solve the problems there, while Paige transports Matthew back to Salem.

Meanwhile, Prudence and Patience visit the cemetery, wanting to be closer to Allen and Victor on this special day. But as they arrive, they find another woman placing flowers on Allen's grave. Deciding not to rush over, they over-hear the woman talk about coming to the grave at least once a year for being so very important to her.

This shocks and worries Prudence - Allen had a life she never knew about and that he never told her about? Patience can't stand seeing her mother so upset, so she takes her by the hand and marches her over to the grave and in a very un-Patience-like manner, she tells this woman exactly who Prudence is - she even points out the fact that there are two names on that gravestone, and the one with only a birthdate is Prudence Warren. That's when the woman smiles and tells them not to be concerned - it was always Prudence who Allen loved, but one night at a bar, he helped convince her to not give up on love to her now deceased husband, and she, in turn, helped convince Allen that he shouldn't let go of Prudence despite her premonitions of becoming the matriarch of the Elemental Witches and all the dangers that would ensue.

But nothing comes without another matter needing the Elemental Witches' help. No sooner does Prudence hug this woman to thank her while Patience apologizes than Prudence is hit with a premonition. Without realizing it, a local shop is selling a supposed love potion that makes a couple of innocents go on a rampage. Piper's the one who helps them realize that they shouldn't worry about the future, and try and make what happens in the present count. She knows this from experience because Matthew has told her that he's falling in love with the boss. And since that's not a good idea, while in San Francisco, he took another job offer that will keep him on the road. He'll visit her often, but...

HAPPY(?) HALLOWEEN, WARRENS! - It's Halloween time in Salem and the town has a festive celebration each year, which features a cornucopia of Halloween-like experiences from Family Film Nights to ghost tours and haunted houses. But the Warren family discover that this Halloween will be anything but just a normal day of celebrations - it's actually a trap.

When the veil between worlds thin on Halloween, the spirits of both Sheriff George ‘The Strangler’ Corwin and Giles Cory return, coming back for revenge against witches. They haunt the former Joshua Ward House, now a hotel that has been transformed into a haunted house theme for the Halloween night. Sheriff George sets a siren that will lure any witch into the hotel, and once they're there, they can't leave. He's determined to traps all witches inside the hotel and then burn down the hotel, which will also free his and Cory's spirits.

As the Warrens struggle to fight off the spirit of Sheriff Corwin, a third spirit, a female who died on the property makes herself known. The spirits of Mary Ann and Jenna Warren (special guest stars Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty) make the scene crossing through the veil between worlds. The Warrens think they're back in order to help their descendants out. Unfortunately, Jenna is there to make things worse instead of better.

Season 4, Episode 4: 'The Roaring Twenties Over and Over and Over Again!'

AN ANTIQUE CAMERA, AN EVERLASTING TIME LOOP AND A MYSTERY IN THE 1920s — During the summer, Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper. On the first day of her last week before she returns to school, her editor offers her a challenge: if she comes up with a killer article before the end of the week, she'll put it on the cover. Phoebe knows that putting a cover on her resume woul work wonders when she goes job-hunting after she earns her degree in a few years, besides ensuring her another chance at interning the following summer.

She decides to do her article on the history of Salem – the good parts of Salem rather than the witch trials that most Americans know about. She even begs her mother for the use one of her old antique cameras to capture the style of an old-time photo to go along with her article. Patience doesn’t want anyone but her to use the camera but agrees to help her daughter by taking the pictures herself. But when Phoebe directs her to take a photo in downtown Salem and Patience snaps the shuttle, both Patience and Phoebe literally disappear into thin air, leaving behind the camera.

When they find themselves taking a similar picture, except back in the 1920’s, suddenly they find themselves back in the 2020’s, unable to prevent themselves from doing this yet again. They realize that they are stuck in an everlasting time loop with no way of stopping it.

Elsewhere, as the family prepares to enjoy their weekly family dinner at Piper’s restaurant, Prudence, Paige and Piper become worried when Patience and Phoebe do not show up. The three Warrens eventually find the camera, and when Prudence touches the camera, she gets a premonition of the past, which shows Patience and Phoebe in the 20s. Realizing that Prudence never sees the past, but only the future, they realize that Patience and Phoebe are caught in an everlasting time loop. This is especially true when Patience and Phoebe suddenly return, take the picture and then disappear.

The other three Warrens hurry home, heading straight to their book of shadows for both answers. They find a way to break the everlasting loop which will let them rescue Patience and Phoebe, but it can only be done by making Patience and Phoebe stay and experience the Roaring 20’s past midnight, and that can only happen if they can get the camera away from Patience so she can’t take a picture in the past. Only then will they be returned to their own time and be able to stay. But the only Warren who can freeze molecules is Phoebe…

Prudence, Patience and Paige arrive to celebrate the twins’ birthday, both Andrea’s in Philadelphia and Prudence’s husband Allen’s on the other side. Through her element of Spirit, Prudence senses something off, but can’t quite figure out what it is.

Meanwhile, back in Salem, Piper and Phoebe are dealing with a personal crisis of their own. Thinking of their grandfather on his birthday, they remember Patience telling them of a special chalice used in their grandparents’ wedding and that had come down through Allen’s family, but has since been lost. The sisters cast a lost and found spell, but just like the spell cast in Philadelphia, it backfires in a big way.

Comic-Con: “Elemental Charmed” to End With Season Five after One Hundred Episodes

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

The news, announced Saturday at Comic-Con, comes after stars TBC1 and TBC2 previously signaled that the end of the series was in sight.

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

Talk of ending the series has been a much-talked-about question among the writer's room for some time. Burge 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 TBC1 and TBC2 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 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 will be a shortened one, consisting of 12 episodes, bringing the series to a total of 100 episodes. The show returns Sunday, September 11th at 8 p.m. Production is expected to begin on Monday, August 8th, 2022. It's a little later than usual. Due to the shortened order, they will be able to be more flexible, and the other two stars, TBC4 and TBC5, are still busy shooting 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,” Charles Smith, network president of CBS-TV, said in a release shortly after the news broke at Comic-Con.“I’m 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 stretch 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 has now been officially confirmed that fans can expect to see Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano reprise their roles of Jenna and Mary Ann Warren one more time in the final season, which starts production for the final season on Monday, August 8th, 2022. Both Doherty and Milano 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.

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

Executive producer 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 the returning faces for the last season".

Doherty later spoke about her return and the series’ 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. Alyssa and I have enjoyed getting to play the parts of Mary Ann and Jenna. So I'm looking forward to our return."

Milano also made a comment referring to the series ending: "I'm sad to see this show ending since I've enjoyed popping in and out of the series for the few years, but I'm excited that Shannen and I will get a chance once again to appear in the first episode of a season, in this case, the final season.”

Burge didn't reveal any hints about what role the two will play, but did add that she’s certain that fans will think waiting will be worth it. She also hinted at the possibility of the two actors might make cameos in the final episode, to be aired on Sunday, February 16, 2023, but only quick cameos since she wants the final episode to revolve around the “Elemental Charmed” actors.

WILL PIPER BE FOUND GUILTY AND BE PUT TO DEATH? - The final season of “Elemental Charmed” begins with the Warrens try a last desperate attempt to save Piper, whose judgment day has finally arrived. Having discovered the truth behind Peyton and Andrea, the family hopes to be able to use this to convince everyone that it wasn’t Piper who killed Bridget. But will this mean putting Andrea in prison when it was Peyton who actually murdered Bridget?

During the trial, the Warrens’ ancestors Mary Ann (special guest star Alyssa Milano) and Jenna (special guest star Shannen Doherty) show up, pretending to be cousins, but actually there to expose some unexpected Warren history which reveals something shocking about Jenna and Peyton - something the Warrens never imagined.

Piper is found guilty, but to everyone's surprise, Mary Ann and Jenna's revelations lead Peyton to visit Piper in her prison cell and make an expected offer, one that might grant Piper her freedom, but in doing so, might destroy the Warren line forever by exposing them all as witches.

The first few days are wonderful, but when her actual birthday arrives, things turn dire when the Demoness of Possession starts inhabiting innocents on the cruise.

As the Warrens search the ship for the Demoness, she gains control of the birthday girl. Finding out, Paige transports herself and Phoebe back to the Manor, so they can check their family book of shadows, but they are unprepared for an uninvited visitor – a warlock who is the Demoness of Possession’s accomplice.

Back on the cruise ship, Prudence has a premonition that reveals more to the demoness that it does to her – what happened during Prudence and Allen’s honeymoon many decades ago, something Prudence has tried hard to keep secret. But what will happen if the Demoness reveals the secret?

As long as they're stuck, the five women try to sort out their future:

Phoebe, who only needs a few more credits before finally graduating college, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to intern at a major newspaper in Boston - and she'd get to work for her favorite reporter. But despite Salem's proximity to Boston, Phoebe is still wary of being away from her family, especially with now that they know that Peyton is possessing Andrea.

-Piper wonders about her own future with Matthew, who should return shortly from his business trip. Does she really want to distract her family from the problem of Peyton and Andrea with the idea of planning a wedding?

-Paige can't stop wondering if she will ever figure out a way to save her daughter, Peyton, and if not, will she be able to figure a way to vanquish her that won't let her return, forcing Paige to vanquish her yet again.

-Patience is considering retiring from the police force and just taking pictures for fun for a change.

-And Prudence has a health issue that she's trying to keep secret from her family while preparing them for the inevitable.

Season 5, Episode 8: ’Keep Your Friends Close, Keep Your Witches Closer'

WILL A FRIEND’S BETRAYAL DESTROY THE WARRENS? — Prudence refuses to believe that her old coven truly wants to steal their powers and become the Elemental Witches themselves and she convinces the others that what they saw had to be fake. Thanks to this, nothing will save the Warrens from what is right in front of them.

Even while she pretended to still be the Warrens’ friend, Andrea, still possessed by Peyton, stole the spell to separate a witch from her powers from the Warren book of shadows, and her coven used the spell to concoct a potion.

Now the Warrens have no idea that the glasses of wine sitting on their dining room table actually contain the potions, and Paige, Piper, and Phoebe have already taken a sip. Even as Prudence keeps talking, Patience raises her glass to her lips…

ALL POWER COMES WITH A PRICE — Having stolen the Warrens’ control over fire, earth, air and water, Andrea, still possessed by Peyton, and her coven set out to claim the remaining power: spirit.

But even after stealing it and using a spell to bring the control into their own bodies, the coven discovers that they are unable to tap into the full powers of the Elementals because they were not born with that control. Eventually the Elementals control them and everything to do with Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirt spins out of control. Can the coven return that control to the Warrens before the whole world explodes?

I'm very impressed with this series with what I've skimmed reading your backstory. Well done guys.

Using the Five Elements is pretty near, and you have a good concept that isn't just ripping off the Power of Three with three sisters again like the new one The CW has starting just around the corner.

I'm glad you like it!

I hope you and greeneyedgirl decide to also review the series here as I did. That was before, I got addicted and joined in writing some too.
