New 'Charmed' Series Will See Mel, Macy & Maggie Have Three Different Fathers

Sarah Jeffery, Melonie Diaz and Madeleine Mantock gather up together for a gorgeous shot during the 2018 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour on Monday (August 6) at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The three Charmed actors joined the creative team at the event to talk about the upcoming series, which will premiere on Sundays on The CW this fall.

The biggest reveal of all was that all three sisters will have a different father.

Mel, Macy and Maggie’s ethnic backgrounds will come up on the show in different ways, showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman shared.

“In my travels, most of the people I’ve talked to are happy that (the characters are) not white because we’ve had a chance to see three white witches,” she said. “[Working on Jane The Virgin, I] learned more about what it’s like to see yourself on-screen and see yourself be the hero of the story, and that’s really important to us.”

Jennie added, “We want to explore each of their unique heritages and the interesting ways that different cultures intersect with witchcraft, because there is a really rich tradition in a lot of different cultures and we want to explore that.”
