Charmed Pauses Season 3 Production Over Positive COVID Test Result
While our "Charmed Ones" Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz), and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) are still expected to return on Sunday, January 24, 2021, for the third season of magic, mystery, and mayhem, production has hit a COVID-related bump along the way. Deadline Hollywood reports exclusively that filming was "paused" on Wednesday after "an individual from the production" tested positive for COVID-19, with CBS Studios following protocols and conducting contact tracing, according to sources.
Last month, production on Charmed and several other series in Vancouver were halted over delays in testing results for the cast and crew.
The reboot of the iconic series "Charmed" is back for its second season and the Charmed Ones are thrust into a New World Order unlike anything they've ever imagined. After the tragic loss of their mother in season one, the three sisters came together to discover they are formidable witches, and under the guidance of their White Lighter Harry, the Power of Three successfully stopped the impending apocalypse. But saving the world is a tall order, especially when you're not even sure what your place is in that world and now the whole magical community is looking to you.
With the extinction of The Elders, The Charmed Ones are faced with new roles and responsibilities as they find themselves at the forefront of a war between witches and demons looking to take power. Operating within unfamiliar surroundings and working with a newly discovered book of ancient spells, the sisters and Harry must embark on dangerous adventures around the world, testing their powers and their bond. Expanding the mythology in exciting and unexpected ways, season two blazes a new path for the series with new, emotionally resonant episodes filled with high stakes, dark forces, romantic encounters and a season-long mystery that will keep audiences guessing. Between vanquishing supernatural demons, tearing down the patriarchy and maintaining familial bonds, a witch's work is never done.
