Another actress is officially on board The CW's "Charmed."
Sarah Jeffery has joined Melonie Diaz as one of the three female leads in the "Charmed" reboot, according to Entertainment Weekly. The "Shades of Blue" star has been tapped to play Madison, the bubbly and youngest witch sister. Compared to her two sisters, she is not thrilled about the idea of having powers, especially since it gets in between her goal of joining a sorority.
As Deadline points out, Jeffery is currently a series regular on the Jennifer Lopez-led cop drama "Shades of Blue." She plays the role of Lopez's daughter Cristina Santos. The show's fate is still unclear since NBC has yet to greenlight a third installment.
Sources claim that Jeffery has been released by the network to do "Charmed." Should "Shades of Blue" get a season 4 renewal anytime soon, she could appear in up to four episodes of the series as a guest star.
Originally aired from 1998 to 2006, "Charmed" wrapped up with a pretty unsatisfying finale. Ever since news of the revival broke, fans have taken to social media to express their mixed opinions.
The program's original leading witches — Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan in later seasons — previously had some strong reactions to the revival. One of the reasons why they were unsupportive of the project was because The CW did not include executive producer Brad Kern in the project.
"Here's the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don't even think of capitalizing on our hard work. Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye," Combs tweeted last month.
A premiere date for the "Charmed" reboot has yet to be announced by The CW.
