Shannen Doherty is set to rejoin the coven as the cast of Charmed reunite.
Sadly for avid fans, it's not to relive their show's glory days on screen, but instead for '90s con.
The actress will be joined by co-stars Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause, Dorian Gregory and Jennifer Rhodes for the convention which will take place in Daytona Beach, Florida, from September 13 to 15. The reunion comes after the cast of the show have regularly recounted over the years how they had a rough experience both making the show and as colleagues.
Charmed ran from 1998 to 2006 and over the years racked up a huge cult following but was dogged by rumours of conflict. Most recently in autumn 2023 Shannen and Holly discussed the Beverly Hills, 90210 star's departure from the show and suggested that co-star Alyssa Milano had been involved in her axing.

The show was a huge hit in the '90s (Channel 5)Holly recollected how at the time she had a meeting with a producer to find out why Shannen wasn't on the show anymore. Talking on Shannen's podcast, Let's Be Clear, the Pretty Little Liars star said: "He said, ‘We didn't mean to - but we've been backed into this corner - we're basically in this position where it's one or the other, we were told [by Alyssa] it's her or [Shannen] and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.'"
However, Alyssa took to Instagram in February to deny the allegations stating: "I did not have the power to get anyone fired."
Shannen previously spoke about her Charmed character at 90s Con in March 2023. She said: "Prue was a very, very, very strong woman. I was a really strong woman. I played her as that. And I think that did have a definitive impression upon a lot of younger women who were watching the show, to grow up with that sort of inner strength and to help their families and take care of their families."

She has kept her fans regularly updated regarding her health following her revelation she has stage four breast cancer. Now, the actress, 52, has admitted she has to "let go" and have a clear out in a bid to create an "easier transition" for her mum when she dies.
Shannen told her Let's Be Clear podcast that her mum, Rosa, is her priority at the moment. She explained on the show: "I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her."
