Goodbye P's, Hello M's

According to TVline, the series will take place during present day and the new trio of sisters will be in college. The site also described them as "fierce and feminist" as the reboot will be all about girl power.

In addition, the new magical ladies's names will be: Macy, Mel, and Madison. Fans of the original series know that the Halliwell sisters had a P in the beginning of their names as it was a tradition in their family.

Macy, who is portrayed as a "witty nerd" with a PhD, is preparing to move in with her boyfriend. She does not know that she is related to Mel and Madison, however she suspects they are her sisters. Macy's power is telekinesis.

Mel is a "strong-willed" feminist. After a tragedy leaves her heartbroken, she becomes angry and pushes away everyone she is close to, including her girlfriend, Det. Soo Jin. Mel's power is time-freezing.

Madison, who is only 18 years old, is the younger sister of Mel. She is an outgoing, athletic young woman with a desire to fit in. Madison is horrified to learn she is a witch. Her power is being able to hear people's thoughts.
