Reopening Hollywood North
Charmed is filming season 3 in downtown Vancouver today, almost a week after production paused because of delays in Covid-19 testing results.
Revised filming dates: October 6th to May 21st, 2021.
Cast: Madeleine Mantock, Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffrey, Rupert Evans.
Mel and Maggie and their older sister Macy, who they didn’t know existed until their mother died, are a trio of powerful witches known as the Charmed Ones. Harry Greenwood is their white lighter there to guide them as they battle dark forces.
Showrunners: Craig Shapiro and Elizabeth Kruger.
Witches! We miss you and hope you’re hanging in there. In spite of a crazy year, we do have good news — we’ve been tinkering away in the room, while Production is gearing up. So S3 is in the works 🤗 And we couldn’t be happier to share an awesome new season with you 🥳 #Charmed

Charmed started off filming today at 100 Powell Street in Gastown, a shoot originally scheduled for last Wednesday, September 30th.
And then moved to Hamilton Street near Victory Square with Rupert Evans on a set dressed like England with a British telephone box and double decker bus.

And then moved again to the Permanent event venue on Pender Street for an afternoon & evening shoot.
First two episode directors: Stuart Gillard, Menhaj Huda.
Producers: Ben Silverman, Jennie Snyder Urman, Jessica O’Toole, Amy Rardin.
Studio: North Shore Studios in North Vancouver.
Where did we leave the show in season 2?
Charmed ended prematurely with episode 19 instead of episode 22, due to the coronavirus production shutdown, so we were left with a couple of cliffhangers:
Producers plan to roll the last 3 episodes of season 2 into the first three episodes of season 3.
In the premature finale, The Charmed Ones managed to retrieve and restrain Harry’s Darklighter doppelgänger known as Jimmy.
But Harry almost ruined the plan in order to protect Macy. Concerned that his feelings for Macy had put everyone in jeopardy he asks Maggie to use her power of persuasion to make him fall out of love with the eldest Charmed One.
Will Maggie do it?
Recently, Sarah Jeffery and Madeleine Mantock shared some season 2 bloopers featuring mainly Rupert Evans — Bloops of Roops — since there was no blooper reel included on the DVD.
