THE CW's CHARMED
- Lucy Barrett is set as the new co-lead opposite Melonie Diaz and Sarah Jeffery for the drama's upcoming fourth season. The Australian actress previously starred in the web series Co-Ed and recurred on Stan's Bloom.
- New showrunners Jeffery Lieber, Nicki Renna and Joey Falco have opted to only tease Barrett's new character stating: "Her name, backstory, powers, and connection to Mel (Diaz) and Maggie (Jeffery) are being kept under wraps, because... well... it's just more fun that way. What we will say is... she's an artist, with a wild, unpredictable love for life and a one-of-a-kind view of the world that serves her well in her art, which is her life's passion. She's fun, irreverent, impulsive, strong-willed, and will bring a brand-new energy to the Power of Three."
