The ‘Charmed’ Reboot Has Cast Its Trio Of Sisters

Say hello to your new Charmed Ones.

After months of searching, The CW’s Charmed reboot has finally cast its trio of sisters. The “fierce, funny, feminist” take on The WB’s beloved supernatural series will star Madeleine Mantock (Into the Badlands) as eldest sister and practical, smart geneticist Macy, Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station) as lesbian activist Mel, and Sarah Jeffery (Shades of Blue) as youngest witch (and aspiring sorority sister) Madison.

Helmed by Jane the Virgin head Jennie Snyder Urman, the reboot will follow the three sisters in a college town as they discover they are witches following the death of their mother. While they might not want to embrace their powers, the sisters soon realize they must unite to fight the forces of evil (and the patriarchy!).

A lot of details are still up in the air, but with these descriptions, it seems like Macy might be closest to Shannen Doherty’s Prue, as she is responsible for rounding up the sisters to do their witchy work, while the other two seem to be more original creations.

Whether or not this new trio of ladies will have any connection to the Halliwell sisters, originally played by Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, and Shannen Doherty (and later Rose McGowan, who entered the show when Doherty left) remains to be seen, but with this fresh batch of talent (and Urman at the helm), the fresh take on the series bound to be magical. Now if only Holly Marie Combs could get on board…
