The Story
Charmed is a TV show about three sisters that one night find out that they are witches and must fight against evil and protect the innocent. There's Prue Halliwell, the beautiful and driven oldest, Piper the earthy, creative middle sister and Phoebe, the free spirited youngest. All of which have lived their entire lives without a clue as to who they really are. All it takes is one dark night for them to discover their true identity as the "Charmed Ones," the most powerful of a long line of good witches. The ancient legend proclaims them as protectors of the innocent and warns of dark forces that will take the form of everyday people. These new enemies will stop at nothing to possess their powers, including murder. The sisters' daily struggles will never be the same when they start to grapple with their newfound identity amidst the darker world of the occult. The enchanting Halliwell sisters must learn to come together and use their powers wisely. For when they don't, it's not just their own lives that are at stake. From The WB: A supernatural one-hour drama from Spelling Television, Charmed chronicles the conflicts between three vastly different sisters and their need to come together against the otherworldly backdrop of an ancient witchcraft prophecy. In the third season of Charmed, the three sisters are newly armed with the knowledge of an evil organization behind the steady stream of seemingly random attacks. The three Halliwell sisters have always been different, not just from the world around them, but from each other. Though bound together by blood and destiny, these twenty something women could not be further apart. The oldest, Prue (Shannen Doherty, Beverly Hills, 90210, Heathers), determinedly driven to succeed in life, disdains the free-spirited eccentricities of Phoebe (Alyssa Milano, Who's The Boss? Melrose Place), the youngest of the three. Piper (Holly Marie Combs, Picket Fences), the earthy and creative middle sister, believes life is best navigated with a sense of humour and often finds herself in the role of mediator between the other two. The siblings were willed the house of their childhood, which they inharmoniously share, a grand and mysterious Victorian manor that has been in their family for untold generations and defines the term "fixer-upper." Yet, the discovery that these three sisters are powerful good witches, foretold as the "Charmed Ones," creates a bond that reaches far beyond petty sisterly grudges. They must band together to keep their otherworldly witchcraft a secret and vanquish all comers. Complicating matters this fall is Piper's romantic relationship with Leo (Brian Krause) as it takes a surprising turn. Created by Constance M. Burge (Savannah), the series is produced by Spelling Television. Aaron Spelling and E. Duke Vincent (7th Heaven, Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place) serve as executive producers along with Brad Kern (Hill Street Blues, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, New York Undercover).
