'Charmed' Reboot Lands CW Pilot Order

This new iteration of the cult classic show is being hailed from Luke Cage writer Akela Cooper. The CW's Charmed is being described as a "supernatural family drama" that will center on three estranged sisters who, reunite in their hometown of New Orleans for a wedding and discover their destiny as powerful witches who must protect the innocent and vanquish the forces of evil.

The drama coming from CBS Television Studios, will be executive produced by Ben Silverman and SJ Clarkson who is also slated to direct.

The Charmed pilot comes five years after CBS announced plans to remake the original series, which ran on The WB for eight seasons from 1998-2006 and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and later Rose McGowan. The original was created by Constance M. Burge and exec produced by Aaron Spelling. CBS Studios, which owns the rights to Spelling's vast TV library, was attached to exec produce the CBS reboot in 2013. That project hailed from Party of Five co-creator Chris Keyser and Sydney Sidner. (Keyser, meanwhile, is rebooting Party of Five for FreeForm).

Author's Note: Hello Readers! This has been a dream of mine for a while. To pen a Charmed reboot that pays tribute to the original show while carving out its own identity for itself. I had tried many times to write one, but it never came out right. Luckily, with the blessing of a new friend who has allowed me to use his characters, I think this try might be "The One" Lol. I will be posting the character descriptions soon and I hope you enjoy my version of 'Charmed'.
