“After the tragic death of their sister, Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) struggle to get back on their feet until a fateful encounter with the new Charmed One (Barrett) reawakens the Power of Three…and their sisterhood. But who is this mysterious young artist from Philadelphia, and why was she — of all people — chosen to take on the mantle of a Charmed One? Could she be their long-lost sister? Or is she something else entirely?”
This description sets audiences up for quite an exciting fourth season, with the new showrunners making a lot of changes and new lead actress Lucy Barrett taking on the role of the mysterious young witch.
Who Are the New Showrunners of Charmed Season 4?
After Seasons 2 and 3 received mixed reviews, fans of the paranormal production began asking for changes to be made, specifically for the show to feature more of the spells and magic that the sisters are known for. As of Season 4, married duo Liz Kreuger and Craig Shapiro have been replaced as showrunners by Jeffrey Lieber, Joey Falco, and Nicki Renna, while continuing to executive produce the series. The three new showrunners will be reigniting the Power of Three with their new ideas for the show's dynamic.
Jeffrey Lieber is a screenwriter who has worked in both film and television. Most notably, he is a co-creator of the drama series Lost, which ran for six seasons from 2004 to 2010 while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats wondering what would happen next on the inexplicably inhabited island. Lieber has shared that he feels blessed to be taking over Charmed at such an important time in the series, stating “We hope to make a season where it’s like, ‘Buckle up and strap in, because anything’s possible.'”
Joey Falco has worked previously on the Charmed series as a writer and producer, besides writing for the Tom Mison-starring series, Sleepy Hollow. This will be Falco’s first time as a showrunner, and audiences are excited to see what he brings to the table. With three years on the show, Falco has shared in an interview that he knows what he wants to see more of in the series moving forward, and many are hoping that that means more spell casting.
Nicki Renna has also previously worked as a producer and writer for Charmed and is known for her work on the ABC series Grand Hotel as well as the Starz series The Spanish Princess, which follows young princess Catherine of Aragon through the trials and tribulations of learning the customs of the English kingdom to which she is sent upon her marriage to Prince Arthur of Wales.
Renna has said that working on the show for the past three years has been like raising a child, and notes the work and love that the team has put into it. Renna has shared her hopes for the future of the show, stating “We’re excited to step into more of a leadership position and take the show to places we’ve been wanting to, with storylines and emotional arcs that really excite us. We’re three very different people in terms of our personalities, backgrounds and interests, but we work really well together.”
How Many Episodes Are There in Charmed Season 4?
With only 13 episodes, the fourth season is set to be the shortest yet. The reboot’s first season had 22 episodes, the second 19, and the third 18. This means the writers have had to pack a lot into the upcoming episodes. While there are fewer episodes, a faster pace with more action may be exactly what fans are hoping for.
