Charmed (2018 Reboot)

Charmed (2018 Reboot) is a low-budget disaster that alienated 90% of the original series' fanbase, airing for four seasons of declining ratings before cancellation. With a $2 million per episode budget—40% less than the original's 1998 budget adjusted for inflation—the CW's version failed to match even ghostbusters (2016)'s modest 74% audience score. The reboot's heavy-handed messaging and cheap production values repelled viewers, resulting in a 1.2 average rating in its final season. Worse than the majority of supernatural reboots, it stands as a cautionary tale of ignoring source material and audience expectations.
