The upcoming Charmed reboot has landed a UK broadcaster, with E4 taking the supernatural series on this side of the pond.
The CW series' "fierce, funny, feminist" reboot is due to finally premiere next month in the US, and E4's acquisition is one of a number of deals that Channel 4 has made with The CW's parent company CBS.
As a result, The Good Fight will continue to air on More4 for future seasons, while the Harry Styles-produced new series Happy Together will also air on E4.
On top of that, Channel 4 has acquired some of CBS's past shows, including Cheers (Channel 4), Sabrina the Teenage Witch (4Music), 90210 (All 4) and Rules of Engagement (E4).
The Charmed reboot has not been far from controversy, with original stars such as Alyssa Milano hitting out and suggesting they should have been involved.
However, fellow original star Shannen Doherty has defended the new show and how it's carrying the torch for female empowerment.
"I think it's great," she said. "I think it's awesome. I think second lives are amazing, so I'm all for it... I'm happy to see that a show, that back then was all about strong women who supported and loved each other, is now coming back again in this day and age.
"It's about female empowerment again – not that that's something new. Charmed originally was that too. But I think it's wonderful, you know? And it's providing a lot of jobs for people, and honestly, I just wish them well. And I hope that everyone just gives them a chance."
Charmed premieres in the US on The CW on October 14. E4 will air the series in the UK.
