Charmed EPs Reveal What Fans Would (and Wouldn’t) Have Seen in Season 5 (2024)

Charmed fans were left on a heck of a cliffhanger — not to mention an iconic doorstep — when the CW reboot wrapped its four-season run on June 10.

The series came to an early conclusion with the current Charmed Ones — Mel, Maggie and Michaela — arriving at the home of the sisters from the original Charmed, inviting themselves inside when no one answered the door. And while we may never get to see the Vera-Danso and Halliwell-Matthews covens meeting face to face, this is not the end of the story.

“Even though this show has ended, these ladies’ journey doesn’t end,” executive producer Joey Falco tells TVLine. “They’re still fighting. We weren’t going to end with them sitting around a table reading stories to their grandkids like the original show did. The battle continues, which is where we want to leave the audience. They’re still out there fighting.”

So, what might fans have seen in a fifth season of Charmed? Read on for Falco and EP Jeffrey Lieber’s teases below, then drop a comment with your own theoretical wishes for the sisters’ future.

  • Mel in Charge

    Mel taking over the Blue Camellia was “definitely a nod” to Piper running P3 in the original series, with Falco even floating the idea of Mel changing the name to P3 or M3 in the future.

    As for how Mel would fare in her new position, Lieber says, she would have made a “great” manager. “That’s probably the sweet spot between the Mel who was the angry activist at the beginning of the show and the Mel who found herself along the way. That’s be the perfect place for her to be — in charge and trying to corral the various forces in the magical world.”

  • ‘Moxie’ Forever

    As for Mel and Roxie, “I don’t think that relationship is over,” Falco says. “In some hypothetical future, they’d reconnect. They both had such complicated love lives, and more than anyone else Mel had been with in four seasons, they had a deep philosophical connection. I could see that relationship lasting a long time.”

    Despite Roxie entering another seven-year slumber in the finale, Lieber insists that the writers “would have found some way to yank her out of there early, groggy and confused and half-beetle.” One of the writers’ missions in Season 4 was to “clean up [Mel’s] love life a little, and to acknowledge things we didn’t do great the first three seasons,” he adds, suggesting that “it would have been great in Season 5 to bring some of [Mel’s exes] back and have those cars crash into each other.”

  • Maggie and Jordan’s Next Steps

    Per Mel’s insistence, Maggie and Jordan would have moved into the former’s dream apartment and attempt to co-habitate.

    “They’re the happily-ever-after relationship of the show,” Falco says. “It’s been such a back-and-forth [journey], we wanted one satisfying love story to end the series on. They absolutely would continue on, hopefully fighting the forces of evil in a less mentally destructive manner than they started this season.”

  • New Love for Michaela

    While Dev would forever have a place in Kaela’s heart (and teapot), she would find new love in Season 5 with a woman.

    “We mentioned briefly at the beginning of the season that Kaela is bi and has had relationships with women in the past,” Falco says. “We built this arc with Dev that we were excited about — they had incredible chemistry together, it was electric. But we also really wanted to explore that other side of Kaela next season. That was certainly the plan.”

  • No ‘Hacy’ Reunion

    Despite Jordan asking if Harry was sending more magical letters to Macy in the series finale, a future appearance from Madeleine Mantock wasn’t necessarily in the cards.

    “There’s always hope [of seeing her again],” Lieber says.”The death of a character is complicated. When someone is super primal to a show, you can’t just send them off to Houston. Every episode would be like, ‘Why don’t they call this character?’ So you have to deal with it. We tried really hard to knit the death of Macy into the lives of the people who were still on the show.”

    Adds Falco, “In almost every episode this season, the grief over Macy is mentioned and is still affecting [the sisters] emotionally. She’s present in flashbacks and photos. She’s very much a part of this world, but it was also important to be able to move the trio forward story-wise and ingratiate [Michaela] into that. She needed that space.”

    So maybe it’s better that Harry decided in the finale to obsess less over the dead and focusing more on the living.

  • A Charmed Multiverse

    Mel, Maggie and Kaela ending up at the original Charmed house wasn’t meant to be the series’ final surprise. In fact, it was meant to open the door to a “Charmed multiverse,” according to Falco.

    “There were going to be phone calls made about which cast members are available and who’s willing to do it,” he says. “We had a very flexible plan based on [those logistics], but we never had those conversations because we weren’t going to have them until we got a pick-up. So we’ll never know who may or may not have made an appearance.”

    Oh, what could have been…
