"Charmed" has continued to capture the interest of movie lovers since it aired in 2018. Unfortunately, season 3 was filled with several devastating losses. However, season 4 has been nothing short of incredible.

The exit of Madeleine Mantock pushed the show in a new direction, and many fans believe the series is just living up to its potential with this twist. The "Charmed" reboot strayed from the original series that aired from 1998 to 2006.

The latest "Charmed" is more inclusive, with a racially mixed cast and positive representation of LGBTQ+ narratives, with one of the principal actresses being a lesbian.

Like everyone else, Diaz, who plays Mel Vera, is looking forward to how the show ends. Since it first aired, she has been a part of the series and remains a crucial part of the plot.
