Beluister hieronder de trailer en de eerste 2 afleveringen:



Holly heeft tijdens een conventie laten weten dat er van haar verwacht werd dat ze een push-up BH zou dragen omdat haar decolleté niet groot genoeg zijn zijn in vergelijking met haar co-ster. Iets wat ze pertinent geweigerd heeft op te doen en daardoor zelf vaak geen BH aan had tijdens scenes.

“They wanted me to wear a big, padded push-up bra and I was like, ‘no,'” Holly Marie Combs said at the first-ever 90s Con on Saturday

Holly Marie Combs took a major stand while working on Charmed. During the show’s 90s Con panel on Saturday, Combs revealed she often didn’t wear a bra on set — but there’s a reason for that.

“They tried to be gentle about it, but … the messages would come down through the ranks. And then there would be, you know, that unfortunate person who had to deliver the message to you,” Combs, 48, recalled. “Usually, it was down to wardrobe. They were, like, setting these different bras in my dressing room and I was like, ‘Those belong to somebody else.’ ”

“They wanted me to wear a big, padded push-up bra and I was like, ‘no,’ hence why there are so many scenes of me not wearing a bra whatsoever,” she continued. “Which I apologize for but at the moment, at the time, it was very important.”

The panel’s host, Christy Carlson Romano, asked whether they provided an “alternative option” for her, but Combs replied: “No, nothing.” Comparing herself to her costars Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan, Combs explained that “their boobs was [sic] enough” and “not everybody needed to have” a push-up bra.

Charmed ran for eight seasons on The WB from 1998 to 2006. Created by Constance M. Burge, the series followed three sisters as they discover they are witches and ultimately choose to use their powers to fight evil forces.

Elsewhere in Saturday’s panel, Combs opened up about her frustrations with her character Piper.

“She became really exhausting around like season five, and so she mellowed out more by design and my needs … But she was growing,” she said. “She needed to mellow. Like literally, I just look at so many scenes where I’m, like, crying about [my costar] Brian [Krause’s character] again. Crying about Brian, that was my job.”

Combs also provided a hilarious tidbit about fellow series alum Shannen Doherty, who only appeared on the first three seasons before McGowan, 48, came on board. According to Combs, the 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was the biggest “pranker” on set.

“She did bad things and she messed with the wrong department. She messed with the transpo department,” Combs revealed.

“They actually put a fake winning lotto ticket in her trailer. Yeah, they had a war,” she said, explaining how Doherty often bought lottery tickets. “They, like, shook her trailer and made her think it was an earthquake. It got ugly. She did, like, bad toilet things, she did, like, silly spray things in cars and she took a golf cart many, many, many, many times and she would just leave.”


De serie Charmed, die draaide om de drie Halliwellzussen die als heksen tegen demonen vechten, was destijds een dikke hit. De serie verbrak record na record en in 1998 was het de langstlopende serie met enkel vrouwen in de hoofdrol. Impressive, right? Toch laat actrice Alyssa Milano haar kinderen de serie (nog) niet kijken.

Veel zoenscènes
Acht seizoenen lang speelde Alyssa Milano de rol van Phoebe Halliwell. Samen met actrice Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell) was ze daarmee de enige die in alle 179 afleveringen van de serie te zien was. En daarin zoende ze veel mannen. No biggie, maar het is wel een van de redenen waarom Alyssa haar kinderen er nog niet naar heeft laten kijken.

“Nee, ze hebben Charmed nog niet gezien. Ze hebben Charmed om vele redenen nog niet gezien”, deelt de actrice daarover op haar TikTok-kanaal. Ze vindt de serie simpelweg nog niet geschikt voor haar 10-jarige zoon Milo en 7-jarige dochter Elizabella. “Ik zoen heel veel mannen in Charmed. Zoveel mannen die niet hun vader zijn. Zo veel mannen. Dus, nee.”

Croptops
Daarnaast is er nog een reden waarom Alyssa haar dochter de serie nog niet wil laten zien. “Mijn dochter is zeven”, begint ze, “en het enige dat ze wil dragen zijn naveltruitjes. Charmed heeft ze nog niet eens gezien. Ik vertel haar de hele tijd: ‘Nee, je wilt geen naveltruitje dragen’. Als ze Charmed kijkt, kun je je wel voorstellen dat ze daarna zegt: Mamma, jij droeg naveltuitjes’.”

Overigens is het heus niet zo dat haar kinderen nooit iets van Alyssa’s werk zien. Zo bekeek de actrice laatst de trailer van de film Brazen met haar dochter. “Uiteraard liet ik haar niet de hele film zien. Ze zei toen: ‘Mama, ik kon wel zien dat je die kus fakete’. Ik denk dat ze me een slechte actrice vond”, vertelt ze grappend.


Vanaf februari is Net5 bezig om herhalingen uit te zenden van ‘Charmed’, vanaf a.s. vrijdag 16 april zal de serie te zijn zijn op de zender SBS9. Om 19.30 uur zal vanaf dan de resterende seizoenen uitgezonden worden met één aflevering per avond, hiervoor werden er twee achter elkaar uitgezonden. Herhalingen van de avond ervoor zullen ook elke dag op SBS9 te zien zijn om 16:50 uur.

Het is niet bekend waarom er gekozen is voor de wissel in zender en frequentie.


In een interview met The Hollywood Reporter laat schrijfster Krista Vernoff weten waarom ze ‘Charmed’ verliet na het vijfde seizoen. Ze was zo’n 3 jaar verbonden aan de serie toen ze aan het begin van seizoen 5 de serie verliet. Zo laat weten dat na afleveringen 5×01/5×02 A Witch’s Tail de kijkcijfers voor mannelijke kijkers omhoog gingen omdat Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) toen halfnaakt als zeemmeermin te zien was. Hierna voelde ze de druk van het netwerk om meer naaktheid in de serie te schrijven en wilde ze hiervoor meer salaris betalen.

I signed on because Charmed was a girl-power show, and about halfway through there was an episode where Alyssa Milano comes out in mermaid pasties and there was a huge spike in male viewership, and then every episode after, the question would come from the network, ‘How are we getting the girls naked this week?’ And they were throwing money at me, and the number keeps going up, and there’s all this pressure, and all I can think is, ‘I’m creating something that’s now bad for the world, and I’ve had enough bad for the world in my life.’

Ze wilde niet iets slecht in de wereld creëren en besloot op te stappen. In onderstaand bericht nuanceert ze dit wel.

Krista Vernoff is nu werkzaam voor ‘Grey’s Anantomy’ en was verantwoordelijk voor de gezamenlijke gastrol van Alyssa en Holly in die serie vorig jaar.


Vanaf maandag 15 februari gaat Net5 de orginele ‘Charmed’ weer uitzenden elke doordeweekse dag om 18.30! Vanaf augustus 2020 zijn alle seizoen ook al te bekijken via streamingsdienst Videoland.


Kaley is een gast geweest in Dax Sheperd podcast ‘Armchair Expert’ om haar nieuwe serie ‘The Flight Attendant’ te promoten. In het interview praatte ze ook nog over haar ervaringen op de set van ‘Charmed’ en herinnert ze vooral erg welkom ontvangen zijn door Alyssa Milano op haar eerste werkdag :)

Afgelopen weken ontstond er een online woordenwisseling tussen Rose, Holly en Sarah over ‘Charmed’. Dit nadat Sarah in een tweet reageerde op de livevideo die Holly en Rose online haden gezet.

Het begon met de livevideo waarin Holly en Rose zich uit over het feit van de orginele ‘Charmed’ niet meer te zien is op de Amerikaanse steamingsdienst Netflix. Hierop reageerde Rose dat dit zou komen omdat de reboot dan beter bekeken zou worden, deze zou niet leuk zijn – ook al is ze blij dat mensen hierdoor een baan hebben. Iets later in de video gaf ze wel toe de ‘Charmed’ reboot nog nooit gekeken te hebben, waarop Holly lachend reageert.

“I haven’t seen it, I can’t say that. I’ve never seen it. I’m happy that people have jobs – but it can still suck.”

Hierop voelt Sarah geneigd te reageren via haar twitteraccount. Hierin benoemd ze de reactie van de Rose en Holly vooral triest en eerlijk gezegd zielig te vinden dat volwassenen vrouwen zich zo gedragen, en andere vrouwen met een gekleurde huid naar beneden halen. Ze voegt er aan toe dat ze hoopt dat ze gelukkig zijn. In een aanvullende tweet laat ze weten dat haar vader ooit actrice Shannen Doherty op de set van een project heeft ontmoet en zij aardig was en blij met de nieuwe serie.

“You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way. I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC. I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y’all.”

In other news, my dad met the lovely @DohertyShannen on set once whilst standing in. He approached her saying his daughter was a new Charmed one (pre-covid!). He told me she was so kind, thrilled for us, and excited to take a picture. She sent her love. 🥰

Holly is echter niet gediend van de reactie van Sarah en geeft hierop een reactie via haar twitteraccount, waarbij ze voornamelijk kritiek lijkt te hebben over Sarah’s opmerking over huidskleur. Later tweet Holly nog dat de reboot vooral pijn doet omdat het de gehele filmindustrie gaat om het verdienen van geld. En ze hoopt dat fans de ruzie nu laten rusten.

“That’s some bullshit. And a lot of it. Clearly. People speaking, excuse me typing, derogatory accusations of a person’s character despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary because of a difference in opinions about a tv show is just plain wrong. And also personal gain honey.”

“My Charmed friends … I would like everyone to stop. Truth be told and it will be told is that our issues were and are at the corporate level. And we have the receipts. Just as the new cast were asked to be people they were not we were given ultimatums that were crazily unfair. And I will say to the ladies of the reboot… stick together… negotiate together and know that the discourse between us, you guys and crews being discarded and replaced is what they bank on. Division. That is all. Blessed be.

And for the last time I will say it’s not about any 1 person taking a job to support their families or themselves. It’s about an industry that sees us only as numbers whether it be follower #’s or $ signs. Cuz in the end and actually in the beginning that’s all we were/are. Cool.”

Rose besluit via een bericht in instagramstories zich te direct de richten tot Sarah, waarin ze soort van haar excuses aanbied…….

A podcast about the Power of Three could happen. Holly Marie Combs recently shared that a Charmed podcast isn’t out of the question. The star who played Piper Halliwell in The WB series for eight years said she’s giving a Charmed podcast some thought. Combs even revealed she spoke to her former co-star and fellow Halliwell sister Shannen Doherty about the possibility.

“I can’t believe how many kids have asked for that and I call them kids, but they’re like, 30, but because I’m so old that they are kids still,” she told Us Weekly in an interview published on Aug. 22. “I actually did talk to Shannen about it and she was like, ‘Alyssa [Milano] would probably love to do that with you!’ Maybe after the election, it would be good.”

Seeing as Combs already has one successful podcast about Pretty Little Liars, she’s definitely the right person to pursue a podcast about Piper, Paige (Rose McGowan), Phoebe (Milano), and Prue (Doherty) Halliwell. Her current PLL podcast is appropriately titled “Pretty Little Wine Moms,” and features her former costars, Lesley Fera and Nia Peeples. They rewatch episodes, chat with other actors from the show, and even have Zoom calls with fans.

A similar format for Charmed might work as well, or she could come up with a completely new format. Whatever the case, Combs isn’t ruling out the future potential project. Plus, when Drew Fuller, who played Piper’s son on Charmed, jokes that Combs won’t let him be a “wine mom,” a Charmed podcast sounds like the next best decision since Fuller could very much contribute.

Even with all of the recent “family drama” between McGowan and Milano, Combs continues to act like big sister Piper, proving she’s destined to keep the legacy of Charmed alive. For those unaware, after much heated back and forth between the two on Twitter beginning Aug. 21, McGowan alleged that Milano “made that set toxic AF.” Milano didn’t respond to McGowan’s Charmed claims directly, but a rep for the star told People, “Hurt people hurt people. Commenting any further doesn’t align with my wellness plan.”

As for Combs, she tweeted on Aug. 22, “I mean was there ever an episode where we all got along? No. No one would’ve watched that show. It’s ok. Call your siblings, parents and grandparents. Breathe deep thankfully. Life is short and just got shorter for many. That’s what Piper would’ve said. As she blew something up.”

Doherty also tweeted directly to the Charmed fans, “I just want to say…. thank you Charmed fans. No matter what’s happening just know you are appreciated and loved.”


Rose en Holly waren afgelopen week samen op instagram live, ze praatte over toekomstige rollen en de mogelijkheid van een ‘Charmed’ film.


Goed nieuws voor fans van de orginele reeks!

Liefhebbers van de heksenserie Charmed kunnen deze zomer hun hart ophalen: vanaf 30 augustus zijn alle acht seizoenen te zien op Videoland, zo maakte de streamingdienst bekend.

Charmed vertelt het verhaal van drie zussen, Piper (Holly Marie Combs), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) en Prue Halliwell (Shannen Doherty). Na het vinden van het ‘Book of Shadows’ komen de meiden erachter dat ze eigenlijk heksen zijn. Later wordt ook zusje Paige aan de familie toegevoegd. De vier dames moeten in de serie tegen slechte geesten en demonen vechten.

De reeks was van 1998 tot 2006 te zien. In 2018 volgde er een reboot van de serie, die ook op Videoland te zien is.


De orginele ‘Charmed’ serie zal te zien zijn op de nieuwe Amerikaanse streamingsdienst Peacock na een deal met NBCUniversal en ViacomCBS. De streamingsdienst lanceert op 15 juli in Amerika.


Brian, Drew, Holly en Rose waren afgelopen dinsdag aanwezig op een virtuele panel van de Wizard World Conventies. Aankomende weekend staan nog enkele panel met hen alleen gepland, waarvoor tickets gekocht kunnen worden. Klik hier voor meer informatie en ticketprijzen daarover.


Supa-Star Holly Marie Combs brought the magic to Supanova in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast, this past March, with fans ecstatic to see the Charmed actor alongside co-star Brian Krause once more.

Unsurprisingly, there was a LOT of fan questions during her visits – some that resulted in surprising answers. Here are a few highlights from Holly Marie Combs’ Gold Coast panel.

FAVOURITE THING ABOUT AUSTRALIA
“The people, for sure. They’re a friendly, enthusiastic bunch. I have a lot of favourite countries, but [Australia] is definitely up there. I love Switzerland too, but it doesn’t have an ocean, so you guys kind of win.”

FAN SPLIT
“The old people like Charmed – I’m one of the old people, don’t be offended – and the younger generation kind of drifted towards the madness and craziness of Pretty Little Liars.”

SPELLBOUND
“My favourite spell in Charmed was the truth spell. That was super funny but super important. There’s nothin’ I like less than a liar. Then I did [Pretty Little Liars] for seven years.”

IMPOSTER SYNDROME
“I was so nervous filming [Picket Fences], because I felt so green and young, and I was surrounded by all these really good movie actors. I was just waiting for the day where they found out that I didn’t belong there and that I would get fired.”

OCEAN’S ELEVEN
“I was not the first person that they called, but by the time they did call me they said, ‘Listen, we know you may not want to do this, because a lot of people said that they don’t want to make fun of themselves.’ I was like, ‘I don’t care – let’s go! Tell me where and when.’ And then Brad Pitt called me Holly and I was like, ‘This is weird.’”

THE CHARMED FINALE
“We sort of had a hand in how our characters ended up. The girls and I went into my trailer and we sort of mapped out the way we wanted our characters to end up and with how many children. It was nice to be able to wrap it up that way because on most shows you do not get the opportunity, or even have the time to do it properly… I haven’t seen it, because I do this weird thing where I don’t watch finales – I can’t explain it, it’s just one of my weird things.”

LOVE HURTS
“Love scenes with [Brian] were super awkward. I would stress about it for like a week, like, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Really? Really? Really? Really?’ Because we were buddies and we are still buddies.”

THE IMPACT
“I never anticipated while I was doing [Charmed] that it would be as far-reaching, but I’m glad all the crazy dedication that I put into it is not just impactful but long-lasting.”

REBOOT WITH ORIGINAL CAST
“Alyssa [Milano] and I talked about it when we did that episode of Grey’s Anatomy and she felt at the time that it would be better to do it as a series of movies, maybe two or three a year. I was like, ‘We’re gonna be really old by the time we’re done with that.’”

FAVOURITE SISTER
“Brian! Leo was always the fourth sister, before we had a fourth sister. He gossips more than anyone.”


If you ask any Charmed fan what they know about what went on during the filming of the show, many of them will refer to the fact that it was reported that Shannen Doherty could be something of a diva. However, in a recent interview with Pedestrian, Brian Krause who played Leo, has downplayed how much of a drama this did actually cause on set. Krause has said that Doherty was always very driven about her work, and that sometimes she could come across as quite abrupt. However, he also said that there was no one else on the set that worked as hard as she did. She would also stick up for anyone of her co-stars if she felt it was needed. He described her as one of the family and said that all the cast and crew were devastated when she left. They all wondered whether the show would be able to go on without her. Ultimately, Rose McGowan was cast as a half sister that the family were unaware of, and the show ran for another five seasons.

When Doherty departed the show at the end of season three, it was rumored that she was fired. There were reports of a feud between her and co-star Alyssa Milano. The popular theory at the time was that Milano had given the producers an ultimatum that if Doherty wasn’t fired, then she would leave. However, this does not seem to be the way that Krause remembers it. There has never been any official confirmation as to why Doherty decided to leave the show, and according to Krause it was a surprise to everyone that worked on the show.

Good news, “Charmed” fans: If the cast were to do a reunion movie at Netflix — something Alyssa Milano recently said she’s been talking about with former co-star Holly Marie Combs — Julian McMahon “would love” to reprise his role as Cole Turner/Balthazar.

“Well, if they brought in the character Balthazar, I don’t think you’d want anybody else to play him, that’s for sure,” the “FBI: Most Wanted” star told TheWrap, following a panel for the new CBS series during the Television Critics Association press tour Sunday.

“Yeah, I would love to,” he continued. “I had such a great time on that show. I mean, I came on that show, I think it was six episodes I was meant to be on the show and I stayed for three years. So that’s how much I enjoyed it. So yeah, for sure. And I think it was the 150th episode I went back for? Oh, I’d do that in a heartbeat.”

Talk of a “Charmed” Netflix movie began back in October, when Milano brought up the potential project during an interview with Access Daily.

“I mean, Holly and I talk about ‘Charmed’ movies a lot, you know. Because they have the new ‘Charmed,’ which is on The CW, and it’s a very different storyline…” Milano said.

“But we have been talking about maybe doing some films for Netflix,” she added. “And so I think that would be really fun, and I think it’s a great way to celebrate our fans that have stuck with us for such a long time but still give it new blood.”

Representatives for CBS TV Studios, which has the rights to the show, and Netflix did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment at the time.

“Charmed” ran for eight seasons from 1998-2006 on The WB and later on The CW. Milano and Combs starred on the magical drama as sisters Phoebe and Piper Halliwell, respectively, with Shannen Doherty playing their eldest sister, Prue, on Seasons 1-3. Rose McGowan took over as the third lead in Season 4, cast in the role of Paige, their half-sister.

McMahon joined the series in Season 3 as Phoebe’s love interest, the half-demon, half-human Cole Turner/Balthazar.
