The CW has picked up its Charmed reboot. The pilot filmed in Vancouver. Will the series?
What’s it about?
After the tragic death of their mother, three sisters in a college town are stunned to discover they are witches. Soon this powerful threesome must stand together to fight the everyday and supernatural battles that all modern witches must face: from vanquishing powerful demons to toppling the patriarchy.
Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie Vera (Vancouver’s own Sarah Jeffery) are similar to Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell from the original Charmed series, but there is one modern twist — middle sister Mel (Diaz) is a lesbian.
Original Charmed trio.
From the filming in Vancouver we’ve seen the Vera house is a Victorian in New Westminster and we know that the fictional college in the pilot is Hilltowne University.

Charmed used the same New Westminster house for exteriors as Witches of East End.
Hilltowne University played by the University of British Columbia.
