Charmed

Charmed is an American fantasy drama television series about three sisters who discover they are powerful witches destined to fight evil. The title covers two separate series sharing the same concept but separate continuities: the original that ran from 1998 to 2006 on The WB/UPN and a reboot that aired from 2018 to 2022 on The CW.

The original series was created by Constance M. Burge for Spelling Television. It centers on Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell (later joined by Paige Matthews) as they learn of their magical heritage and become The Charmed Ones, wielding diverse powers and protecting innocents while balancing personal and family dynamics. It ran eight seasons and produced 178 episodes, becoming a flagship program for The WB and developing a devoted fan base.

The 2018 reboot was developed for The CW by Jennie Snyder Urman with Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin. It follows Macy Vaughn, Mel Vera, and Maggie Vera in San Francisco as they discover their witch lineage and confront a new set of demons and personal challenges. Running for four seasons, it established its own storylines distinct from the original.

In both iterations, Charmed contributed to the popularity of female-led supernatural dramas and generated lasting fan communities and cultural impact, while reflecting evolving attitudes toward sisterhood, family, and representation in genre television.
