Charmed is rebooting on The CW with a pilot, but just like the cancellation reaper, original series star Holly Marie Combs is not happy the show is coming back.
Taking to Twitter, Combs slammed the reboot for going ahead without any of the original cast or creators:
Here’s the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work. Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye.

Where do you stand: Do you agree with Combs? Are you looking forward to the Charmed reboot? Are you conflicted?

Reboot of Charmed , I think any time a reboot of a show is considered , the original cast should have a say in being part of it if they are interested , after all it was the original cast that made the show popular , I kind of feel like this is robbing the cast , and crew that made the show so successful to begin with , when other people step in they are riding the coat tails of the people that worked so hard at making a show so good ! The chemistry with cast ,and crew is also very important for success of a show

I totally agree with Holly and Marlene! Do NOT “reboot” this show.

I will watch the reboot and I’m glad the original cast isn’t there. But if it becomes political, witless, homosexual agenda, and 21 century feministic; then forget about it.
Nikki says
Yes, I would watch the reboot and prefer not to have the originals back. They were great then but not for now. Unless they were cast as the mother’s or something like that would be nice.
Does Ms. Combs own the rights to series if not it seems like “sour grapes” to me?
Cindy Martin says
I will watch it if the original cast is in it or their children like Wyatt and Chris. I will not watch it otherwise
