Progressive
Primary
The show's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology through its focus on feminist empowerment, identity politics, and systemic critiques of various forms of oppression, often allegorically represented by magical threats.
The 2018 'Charmed' reboot features a main cast where traditionally white roles are explicitly recast with minority actresses. The narrative consistently integrates themes of social justice, feminism, and LGBTQ+ representation, often portraying traditional power structures critically.
Secondary
Charmed (2018) features prominent LGBTQ+ characters, including an openly lesbian protagonist, Mel Vera, and a trans witch, Josefina Reyes. Their identities and relationships are consistently portrayed with dignity, complexity, and agency. The show normalizes queer experiences and affirms the worth of LGBTQ+ lives and love, framing challenges as external rather than identity-based.
The 2018 reboot of "Charmed" features the three central "Charmed Ones" characters, who were established as white in the original series, portrayed by actresses of Black and Latina descent, constituting a race swap for the ensemble.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2018 'Charmed' reboot introduces new female protagonists as the 'Charmed Ones,' rather than reimagining established characters from the original series with a different gender. No canonical characters were portrayed with a changed gender.
