Premiering on October 7, 1998, Charmed quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The show followed three sisters—Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano)—who discovered they were the "Charmed Ones," the most powerful good witches of all time. Using their combined "Power of Three," they protected innocents from demons, warlocks, and other dark forces in modern-day San Francisco.
