How the Actors From “Charmed” Have Changed Over the Years

The first episodes of Charmed were released in 1998. And the story of 3 sister witches who fought evil won the hearts of millions of teenagers around the world. The series was so popular that it ran for 8 seasons, and more than 1,500 actors appeared in it.

Today, 23 years after the release of season 1, Bright Side wants to remember our favorite characters.

Prue Halliwell — Shannen Doherty

After Charmed ended, Shannen Doherty produced different TV shows, starred in a sitcom, and appeared in several reality shows. And in 2015, together with her Charmed colleague, Holly Marie Combs, they did a 6-episode reality show where they traveled around the southeast end of the US and talked about the states they visited. In 2017, the actress beat cancer, but, unfortunately, the disease returned and Shannen is fighting it again.

Also, after the end of Charmed, web portal AOL named Combs the Third Greatest Witch in the history of television. And it’s hard to argue with that, as she’s barely changed in 23 years. This has to be some kind of witchcraft.
