"A Charmed Reboot Is Coming to the CW

The Halliwell sisters are back, baby! The supernatural series Charmed — which aired for eight ass-kicking seasons on the WB between 1998 and 2006 — is officially getting a reboot at the CW after years of rumors. Spearheaded by Jane the Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman, the reboot will be reimagined in the year 1976 and is described as "being connected to the original series in some fashion," although it's not clear at this point how so. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, former Charmed stars Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan have voiced their displeasure at the idea of potential reboot in the past, with both saying it was "too close" to the series finale and that Hollywood is "really running out of ideas." Regardless, a script commitment has been made, and demons and warlocks have never been more fearful."

Please guys, this will not be the Charmed Ones, as the seventies would only be Grams and Penny and the young children of Prue and Piper Yes the children had powers ( That 70's Episode Season 1) but obviously Grams bound their powers when their mum Penny died. So it ain't gonna work and highlights the paucity of ideas Hollywood has left.
Hardly anyone over at the We Want Charmed Movie community pages on FB wants this travesty and would prefer the original cast members as i do,although at the moment Shannon cannot as she is fighting for her life with the cancer and the ongoing chemo and radiation treatment she is going through.However,if they rethink this they could go forward in time to include Piper,Paige and Pheoeb plus the kids, Wyatt and Chris.
This prequel idea kind of sucks otherwise.
