Back in January, the reboot got a pilot order from The CW. However, one of the show’s original stars, Holly Marie Combs, was not happy about the news of a reboot.

No other casting news has been revealed yet.

Holly Marie Combs is not a fan of the Charmed reboot that has been ordered by The CW.

The actress was one of the stars of the original series and she has written a series of tweets about her thoughts on the new series.

“Here’s the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work. Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye,” Holly tweeted.

Holly also replied to a fan who called it “insulting” to say that the reboot will add a feminist angle. “Co-sign,” she said.

Holly also got into a long discussion with writer Carina Mackenzie, who is the writer and executive producer behind The CW’s planned reboot of Roswell.

The fan favorite series Charmed is officially getting a reboot. After speculation that the project was in the works, The CW has ordered a pilot for the upcoming series.

The reboot is set to take place in the present day and will feature a feminist twist.

“This fierce, funny, feminist reboot of the original series centers on three sisters in a college town who discover they are witches. Between vanquishing supernatural demons, tearing down the patriarchy, and maintaining familial bonds, a witch’s work is never done,” the official description reads (via EW).

Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, and Shannen Doherty starred in the original WB series, but no word yet if they will reprise their roles or appear at all.

Holly Marie Combs is opening up to deny the rumors that her beloved show Charmed is returning for a reboot on Netflix.

Rumors have been swirling about the potential for new episodes of the fan favorite show, but now the reports have been squashed.

“I’m sorry to say that all the reboot rumors are just that…. rumors,” Holly wrote on her Instagram. She added a photo of her, Rose McGowan, and Alyssa Milano in costume. “But here’s #tbt to our wood nymph days. In our defense it was really hot so we wanted to wear the least amount of clothes possible. Really hot. That’s my story and still sticking to it. Still. #charmed.”

A Charmed reboot is in the works!

THR notes that after a “prolonged negotiation,” The CW and Jane the Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman are teaming up to work on the new show.

The show will be a “reimagining of the original TV series set in 1976.” The show will be connected to the original Charmed, but it is not yet clear how.

Several years ago, CBS actually announced a Charmed reboot series, though nothing materialized.

Charmed ran from 1998-2006 and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan.

Rose and Alyssa never supported the CBS reboot, and it’s unclear their position on this news.
