About Charmed Series
Charmed is an American fantasy drama series designed by Constance M. Burge and produced by Spelling Television company, with Brad Kern as the showrunner. The series aired between October 7, 1998 – May 21, 2006, by the WB Television Network.
The series plot narrates three sisters – the charmed ones, also known as the most almighty good witches ever to walk on earth, who use the combined “Power of Three” to protect innocent humanity from evil supernatural beings such as warlords and demons.
The sisters have unique magical powers that evolve and grow. Although they try to live normally in modernistic San Francisco, separating their supernatural abilities while keeping them secret has become increasingly challenging.
Additionally, the trio’s magic exposure has proven troublesome by attracting negativity. For example, extreme consequences on their relationships and tons of investigations from the police and the FBI throughout the fantasy drama series.
Initially, the series focused on the Halliwell siblings, Phoebe, Prue, and Piper. Sadly, Prue dies in the third season finale, and the trio’s long lost half-sibling, Page Mathews, replaces her, filling the gap in “The Power of Three” from season four as we advance.
