The Charmed reboot is back for Season 2, this time with a new showrunner.  Carter Covington was replaced by Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro for Charmed Season 2, and a new “creative direction” is being targeted for the trio of budding witches, with the series set to “lean harder into its supernatural storylines and less into the family dynamic”

Manifest Season 2 Episode 3 Manifest has done the seemingly impossible with “False Horizon.” It has delved deeper into the back story of Saanvi, a much underutilized character last season, and set her up as a capable spy; it made the persistently vague Red X’er and Believer groups more relevant
