Charmed: Sarah Jeffery on Maggie's Powers; Premiere Synopsis, New Teasers Released

With a little more than two weeks to go before CW's Charmed reboot from Jane the Virgin creator-showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman tag-teams Sunday nights with a returning Supergirl starting October 14th, the network is doing its best to help us get to know The Vera Sisters (Mel, Maggie, and Macy) as they learn more about their ancestry than they ever imagined — while trying to understand the "Power of Three" before it's too late.

In the first video, Sarah Jeffery (Maggie) discusses how her character first discovers her mind-reading abilities and how those powers are a source of conflict for the college freshman:

In the following three teasers, we learn a little more of Mel (Melonie Diaz), Macy (Madeleine Mantock), and Maggie's back-stories with their mother and the path that lead them to each other – and a discovery none of them ever imagined:

The network has also released an official synopsis for the pilot episode:

Charmed s01e01 'Pilot': After the tragic death of Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie's (Sarah Jeffery) mother, the sisters struggle with moving forward but face another huge shock when they learn they have an older sister, Macy (Madeleine Mantock). With the emotions of all three sisters running high, each of the girls suddenly exhibit impossible new abilities: Mel can freeze time, Maggie starts hearing others' thoughts and Macy has telekinetic powers.

While trying to understand their new powers, Harry Greenwood (Rupert Evans), gathers the sisters and reveals they're actually powerful witches, as was their mother. He also lets them in on a little secret, he's not really a professor, he's their "Whitelighter," a witch's advisor and guide. The sisters must make the decision to accept their new destiny as The Charmed Ones…and their new duty to protect humankind from the demons that walk among us…one of whom killed their mother. Ellen Tamaki and Ser'Darius Blain also star.

Director: Brad Siberling / Writers: Jessica O'Toole, Amy Rardin

"Stronger together." That's what Marisol tells her daughters, firebrand social justice warrior Melanie "Mel" Vera, and her sister, fun-loving Maggie, about their family. Mel is a graduate student in the women's studies department her mother heads at Hilltowne University; Maggie is a freshman considering rushing a sorority (to Mel's amused dismay) and going "on" again with her on-again off-again boyfriend Brian. But then, a shocking tragedy shatters their world and threatens their sibling bond: Marisol dies in a horrifying accident. Or was it?

Three months later, we find Mel unable to accept the official explanation of their mother's death, while Maggie accuses her of being morbidly obsessed. And then, another huge shock shows up at their front door: they have an older sister, brilliant geneticist Macy, whom their mother kept a secret all these years! Macy is new in town and doesn't know a soul (except for Galvin, the cute fellow scientist who's been showing her around). Macy is eager to connect with Mel and Maggie, but Mel can't handle another shock, and shuts her out. With the emotions of all three sisters running high, each of the girls suddenly exhibit impossible new abilities: Mel can freeze time, Maggie starts hearing others' thoughts, and Macy has telekinetic powers.

But don't worry, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation…or so says Harry Greenwood (who as far as they know is the officious new chair of the women's studies department), when he gathers the three sisters together to reveal they're actually powerful witches, as was their mother. And he's not really a professor, he's their "Whitelighter," a witch's advisor and guide! Not only that, but Mel was right: their mother's death was no accident – she was murdered by unknown dark forces.

It's a lot to take in, but ultimately the sisters accept their new destiny as The Charmed Ones…and their new duty to protect humankind from the demons that walk among us…one of whom killed their mother. With the Power of Three, they are stronger together… even if they have no idea what they're really up against.

Based on the original series, Charmed stars Madeleine Mantock, Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery, Rupert Evans, Ser'Darius Blaine, Charlie Gillespie, Ellen Tamaki, and Craig Parker; and stems from CBS Television Studios in association with Propagate Content.
