A supernatural one-hour drama from Spelling Television, Charmed
chronicles the conflicts and the love among three vastly different sisters and their need to come together to fulfill an ancient
witchcraft prophecy.
The power of the Halliwell sisters has entranced audiences for 7 seasons, but next year, their lives will be charmed in
unimaginable ways.
Piper, Paige and Phoebe have always been able to defeat the forces of darkness and still have time to buy the cutest
cropped pants. But now they will encounter their greatest nemesis: a demon smart enough to expose them and ruthless enough
to disrupt their overnight dates. With the police closing in on their bewitching identities, the Charmed Ones can depend only
on themselves for survival. But the challenge to conceal their calling is about to prove impossible.
Executive producers Aaron Spelling, E. Duke Vincent and Brad Kern for Spelling Television, Inc.
The Halliwell sisters were always different, not just from the world around them, but also from
each other. Though bound together by blood and destiny, these twentysomething women could not have been more dissimilar. Yet
the discovery that the three sisters were powerful good witches, foretold as the Charmed Ones, created a bond that reached
far beyond petty sisterly grudges, and they banded together to keep their otherworldly witchcraft a secret and vanquish all
comers. Charmed stars Alyssa Milano (Melrose Place, Who's The Boss?) as Phoebe, Holly Marie Combs (Picket
Fences) as Piper and Rose McGowan (Jawbreaker) as Paige.
Each sister has her own unique set of powers, which are constantly evolving. As the oldest sister, Piper possesses the
most active power - the ability to blow things up at will, as well as to freeze people and objects. At the end of last season,
Piper and her Whitelighter husband Leo (Brian Krause, Sleepwalkers) suffered a devastating blow when their second son
Chris (Drew Fuller, Black Sash, Vampire Clan) came back from the future to warn them of impending evil threatening
their older son Wyatt (Jason and Christopher Simmons). After witnessing Chris' death, Leo was overcome with grief and began
to question his status as an Elder. Though Chris was reborn as an infant, Leo started to back away from his marriage to Piper.
This season, Piper does her best to help Leo deal with his grief and find his way again, all the while struggling to balance
raising two young children and managing her nightclub, P3. Phoebe, after losing her active power
as an empath last season, is deeply effected by the loss of her nephew, Chris. This season, Phoebe will try to deal with her
grief by taking a leave of absence from her job as an advice columnist. She will find potential romance with the ghostwriter
filling in for her, Leslie "Les" St. Claire (guest star Nick Lachey, Newlyweds). Now that the burden of her empath
abilities is gone, Phoebe is not certain that she wants her active powers back. She is learning to rely on her Wiccan knowledge
of potions and spells, her martial arts skills and her own common sense.
Newest to the Halliwell fold, Paige was raised by adoptive parents and always felt that there was something different about
her. In the search for her birth parents, she learned that she was abandoned at a local church as an infant, the result of
a clandestine love between Phoebe and Piper's mother and a Whitelighter guardian angel. This ancestry and the unexpected death
of the oldest Halliwell sister, Prue, resulted in the awakening of Paige's powers to move things with her mind and to "orb"
in and out between planes. This season, Paige takes on the job of saving the Magic School after the Elders have threatened
to close it down. Running the Magic School will be more difficult than Paige ever imagined due to the resistance she will
encounter from parents and faculty alike.
As they have so often in the past, the Charmed Ones will continue to depend on their loyal friend and protector, Lt. Darryl
Morris (Dorian Gregory, The Other Half, Soul Train). After a close call last season, Lt. Morris pulled back from helping
the sisters, but he will still prove to be a valuable resource and friend for aid or advice.
As the three most powerful good witches magic has to offer, the Halliwell sisters continue to wage war against evil as
they seek to strengthen their sisterly bond and come ever closer to fulfilling their destiny.
