Melonie Diaz Cast As Mel In Charmed Reboot

The CW has conjured up the first major piece of casting for its Charmed reboot, tapping Melonie Diaz (Vh1’s The Breaks) to star as one of the three bewitching sisters, TVLine has learned. Mel is described as “a passionate, outspoken activist who loses her way in the wake of family tragedy.” As TVLine previously reported, Mel is also a lesbian.

Charmed 2.0 — which is being shepherded by Jane the Virgin’s Jennie Urman, Jessica O’Toole and Amy Rardin — is being billed as “a fierce, funny, feminist reboot” centered on “three sisters in a college town who discover they are witches. Between vanquishing supernatural demons, tearing down the patriarchy, and maintaining familial bonds, a witch’s work is never done.”
