jazzy_daveThere are rumours flying around about a reboot of Charmed and that Holly Marie-Combs has denied that the gals are in talks with the network to see a reboot of the original cast members in a new show.The Daily Beast stated that as far as Holly is concerned “I’m sorry to say that all the reboot rumours are just that… rumours.”.
And as Milano tells it, the tabloid reports are mostly baloney.
“I’ll tell you everything I know: the last few years, CBS Studios—not the network, the studio—has been trying to reboot Charmed without any of the old cast members. They just want to use the franchise,” she says. “Because we have the best fans ever, they were up in arms over this and said you can’t do Charmed without the original cast members. I think CBS Studios understands the importance of getting it right, so they came up with the idea last year that they were going to do a prequel to our story but the script didn’t come in the way they wanted, and so it went back into redevelopment.”
The actress does maintain, however, that the cast is game for a reunion of some sort. “The other thing that I know is that Shannon, Holly, Rose and I have all said out loud that we are open to some sort of reboot, reunion or something,” Milano tells The Daily Beast. “The next thing I heard was that Netflix was doing it, but I heard that strictly from the media and not from my deal with CBS Studios or Netflix, where I have two shows right now.”
If the Charmed reboot were actually being set up at Netflix, Milano says, “I would think I would have heard what’s going on from my CBS Studios or Netflix contacts, but I haven’t heard anything. I’m as open as humanly possible to what the scenario is, but I don’t know the scenario, honestly.”
So, as fans,and myself included,we can only wait and hope.If they can reboot X Files why not Charmed?
