The CW's Charmed [1] reboot has found its first leading lady. Fruitvale Station actress Melonie Diaz will play Mel, one of the three witch sisters [2]. As previously reported, the character, who is described as "a passionate, outspoken activist who loses her way in the wake of family tragedy," will be a lesbian on the upcoming series [3]. While casting for the other two sisters, Macy and Madison, has yet to be revealed, we already know who will be playing one of their boyfriends. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor Ser'Darius Blain has been cast as Galvin [4], a documentary filmmaker who is dating Macy.

The series, which is being written by Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin (Jane the Virgin), has certainly generated a lot of mixed reactions since it was picked up for a pilot order. Not only is the 1998 series getting a few modern-day twists, but the original cast isn't exactly on board with the reboot [5]. While Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell from seasons one to three) expressed mixed feelings about the revival [6] on Twitter, Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell) has made it incredibly clear that she is against it.
