"Charmed" is a love story about three multi-racial sisters who share one destiny as powerful witches who must protect innocents and save the world from eternal darkness. In every episode, the sisters (Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery and Madeleine Mantock) face their demons - both metaphorical and literal – as they struggle to balance their lives as normal young women. The new iteration is just like our world – there’s Instagram, the #MeToo movement, and an epic battle between good and evil. But on "Charmed" the front line of this battle isn’t politics, its witchcraft.
