The Big Picture

• Charmed, the popular 90s supernatural show, has gained a new generation of fans through reboots and rewatching.
• The House of Halliwell podcast, hosted by Holly Marie Combs, Drew Fuller, and Brian Krause, has left fans eager for the next episode.
• Combs teased that there is exciting news coming up for the podcast, but couldn't reveal details due to legal reasons.

Charmed was a formative TV show for an entire generation. Like many shows from that era, the waves of nostalgia have brought back demand for the show with original audiences who are keen to reintroduce it to a new generation, either through a reboot, a rewatch, or in the case of Charmed, with a podcast watchalong. During a panel moderated by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt at this weekend’s San Francisco Fan Expo, series stars Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan discussed the show, its recent 25th anniversary and, for Combs, revisiting the show with House of Halliwell podcast.

House of Halliwell is presented by Combs, Drew Fuller and Brian Krause. However, the show has gone quiet in recent times, with fans taking to social media to ask when the next episode will drop. Combs addressed the podcast's future and, although unable to go into details on the matter, did promise fans that news would be forthcoming in the near future.

"There's probably a lot of people out there complaining we haven't posted a new episode. I think it was time, finally time, where I've forgotten enough but I'm ready to remember things. It was like opening a big box of emotions for me, and it was a big journey to go back into. We're really good friends and we like hanging out with each other — most days. I do have to say, to all the naysayers out there, and I do read every comment, unfortunately, we do have some big news coming up that I'm not allowed to share with you. So if it seems like there's a pause [in the podcast], it's for legal reasons, and good legal reasons!"

Podcast watchalongs are now very much in vogue at the moment. Alongside Charmed, other notable shows like The Office, Gilmore Girls, and Parks and Recreation, among others, have popular watchalongs with original cast members. The acclaimed supernatural show starred Shannen Doherty as Prue, Alyssa Milano as Phoebe, Combs as Piper, and later McGowan as Paige.

What Was 'Charmed' About?

Focusing on the Halliwell sisters — the series ran for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006. After the death of their grandmother, the sisters learn that they are the most powerful good witches in the world, known as the Charmed Ones. Each sister possesses unique magical abilities, and together, they use their powers to vanquish demons, warlocks, and other supernatural threats while also navigating the challenges of everyday life. The series became a cultural phenomenon and gained a cult following. Later seasons also starred Julian McMahon, Kaley Cuoco, and Debbi Morgan.
