Charmed: The Reckoning | Concept Trailer | Paramount+

The reunion that will set... you… free!

"Charmed: The Reckoning" has been a little side project of mine for almost four years! I originally started editing this video in 2020 during the first pandemic lockdown, so I am elated to finally share this piece of visual fan-fiction with the world - and importantly, with other Charmed fans.

As a diehard fan of Charmed for over 20 years, I wanted to prove to "the powers that be" there’s still so much life left in this story and these characters, by way of a reunion that has potential to redeem (in my opinion) some of the shortcomings from the original series, particularly the later seasons. Even as a fan, I am still (lovingly) critical of the direction the show took towards the end of its run. By creating this concept trailer, I hope to pitch new ideas to showcase potential storylines and a new direction for what could be a theoretical miniseries set in the 2020s.

I know a revival/reunion in some form is very anticipated by fans and, despite all the controversy and drama occurring behind-the-scenes, I hope in some way this video can serve as a byproduct for that desire.

All content used has been sourced from hundreds of different films and TV shows - in fact, in order to make this look as realistic as possible, very little is actually from Charmed at all!

In saying that, it's important to note that I've spent literal years compiling and piecing together an enormous amount of content to create this video (not least, doing even more complex masking and editing to make some of those shots possible). So I would really appreciate that this video is respected and NOT re-uploaded or shared elsewhere without directly linking and crediting the original.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK… A rift that has split the Power of Three? Where did Rex and Hannah really go after they were “vanquished” - and are they linked to the black panther sightings? Is it possible that Max’s mom was killed by Jeremy Burns, before the original series began? Is history repeating itself 25 years later? Brendan resurrecting his brothers in an attempt to revive the Rowe Coven? Has Nathaniel Pratt teamed up with Agent Cortez to expose magic, framing Phoebe in the process? Why has Cole returned? Will Jack’s search for answers over Inspector Sheridan’s mysterious death lead him back to the Halliwell's? A whole new backstory set during the 1920s? Paige and Henry divorced? Wyatt's male lover? Prue and Andy reunite at the swing? And is that Emily Hampshire as Piper and Leo’s future daughter? 🤯😉 Which storylines would YOU be most interested to see play out on-screen?

Goodness gracious this is probably the best Charmed concept trailer I've ever seen! So good.

[newtongardener]

WOW! I thought Paramount had actually picked this up. You got to put this trailer to Paramount or anyone to see if it would be picked up. It DEFINITELY got my attention. Well done for making this trailer. It was brilliant.

[roguephoenix]

thank you for putting concept on that and not making it a clickbait. that alone deserves a like but it's very well done.

[gcampoverde]

I honestly thought this was real until the disclaimer in the end! Your editing is SO PRO!

[yamil.]

This made me cry esp since Shannen passed last week. This was amazing. Paramount should see this & hire you.

[EastSide-qcoy]

I normally don’t care for fan-created stuff but this was pretty amazing. Sadly given recent events, nothing like this will ever happen.

[marcoguerra]

This looks sooo good! The editing is amazing, you put in this so much love and respect and OMG there are content and storylines to cover at least 3 seasons! Well done!

[CrownStatus]

Yo, I literally jumped out of my seat and yelled so loud because I thought that this was really happening…then the disclaimer came😢 but overall so well done and this is what we want to see.
@Paramount+ Please make this happen We the fans deserve it!!!! This was a great Birthday surprise!! Thanks to the creative who created this wonderful piece of art. U have my follow and support ✨✨✨✨

What do YOU think a Charmed revival might look like? I've spent a lot of time over the last four years (yes, it's taken me that long) piecing together an enormous amount of content, plotting theoretical storylines and carefully editing this video for a conceptual limited series. I wanted to prove to "the powers that be" there’s still so much life left in this story and these characters. More info in the description.

As a diehard fan for over 20 years, I know a reunion is very anticipated by fans, and - despite all the controversy and drama occurring behind-the-scenes - if we never get an official revival I hope in some way this video can serve as a byproduct for that desire. Enjoy!

[EnchantedWarlock]

Honestly hands down, it not the best charmed concept trailer I’ve ever seen, like not even just how realistic the edited/alternate scene but just the story line that was created, you can picture this being an actual story arc! The little details of the panther with Rex and hanna just *chefs kiss*

[donrightgaming]

They need to hurry and do this revival so Shannon Doherty can have some part in it

[wanderslust]

This so well done. But now I want it happen a Charmed revivel with the orignal cast and they could honor Shannon Doherty. Even if its only for one episode. I was so disappointed by the new Charmed show. I cant belive its 25 years😮. I am not that old? It used to be my fav show .

[lizs]

I got to say this looks better than half the real trailers that come out. Good job!

[avatarboy]

This is very well done and I can tell you’ve put a TON of work and heart into making this! Hopefully one day we will get something like this

[bbsteele]

This won't happen until the girls stop dwelling on the past. They must forgive to move forward. None of them will find true success again until that happens. I hope one day soon this will become a reality. Sadly, I'm not holding my breath. Blessed Be 💜

[annbranglin]

I would most definitely watch this. This trailer is so good. This version of charmed I thought they would bring back for the reboot instead of the ones they have currently

[lostplace]

WOW! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
You managed to start with historical context and go all the way to include all of our favourite recurring characters in their most recent looks!
Not to mention that the speeches and clips blend in together SOOO well!

And for me, the cherry on top was adding a new version of How Soon Is Now that I've never heard. Gave me goosebumps. Congratulations!

How long did it take? I'm assuming a huge part of it is watching everyone's recent content to find snippets that can be used

[supermilkguy]

My mom loved Charmed when she was a kid! She told me the Charmed Ones will always come back. Always.

[ScottBill]

Wow, you blew me away with this!! I've never seen a fan made trailer look so real. It felt so real that I had goosebumps. I would've loved to see what you had here played out. It was amazing!
