Charmed episode to return date hopes: When will the reboot return?
The very-obvious bad news that we’ve got at the moment is that there is not going to be another new episodes on the air for a little while. The folks over at the network are keeping Charmed off from tonight until mid-to-late January; according to a report from the Futon Critic, the return date is going to be Sunday, January 20.
So why is The CW waiting so long in order to bring the show back on the air? Well, one of the big reasons for that may just be them wanting to ensure that they continue to tell their stories in bunches. They recognize that they have to take hiatuses here and there in order to ensure that production stays ahead of when new episodes are airing. Beyond that, though, there is also another important reason — The CW doesn’t want to get in a habit of viewers not knowing when new episodes of their shows are coming back on the air.
Also, tonight marks the final episode of 2018 — given that this is the holiday episode, there’s no real reason to continue the story at the moment.
So what should happen next?
More so than anything, Charmed just really needs to focus on continuing the journey that is happening with a number of its characters. This is a show that, week in and week out, has to execute a really wonderful balancing at. It needs to further along the mysticism and overall mythology of the series, but it cannot forget at the same time that this is a show that is effectively all about a friend between three young women and everything that they do to try to find normalcy in a world where there really isn’t none? This show needs to continue to find a way to tow the line between being crazy and completely normal … while also introducing new characters along the way.
Also, Charmed needs to find a way to keep some of its ratings up in the event that it does want to get a season 2 down the line, which we cannot say is 100% confirmed at the moment. While we do think that there’s a good chance at it, we need to see the ratings in the second half of the season before making any firm determinations. The pressure is going to be on the writers for that, given that their story decisions are going to dictate one way or another what viewers ultimately decide to do.
