The new version will revolve around three witches, Annie, Paige and Tina, who come together to fight the forces of evil in a New England town in 1976. Annie is a Caucasian. She is described as an intense and smart person. She has a bad temper, but deep inside she is a person who desperate to love and to be loved.
Paige is also a Caucasian. She has a curvy body and cheerful personality. Her main goal in life is to marry a rich doctor and be a wife and mother. Though her name is similar to that of McGowan's character, it seems like there's no clear connection between them. Meanwhile, Tina is a whip-smart African-American. She can be reserved sometimes, even standoffish in uncomfortable situations, but she picks up on everything and she has a quick and accurate judgments about people.
The reboot project will be executive produced by Jennie Snyder Urman ("Jane the Virgin"), while Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin will pen the script.
