CBS took over Paramount's TV titles earlier this year, and that's been great news for fans that want to see extras. Paramount released most of their sets without any bonus materials, while CBS has created loads of featurettes and included commentaries for shows like
CSI,
Survivor and
The Amazing Race. Now
Charmed will get the CBS treatment on season 8, which should be out around Christmas (it won't be announced for awhile, so please don't ask).
Fans thought the mention of season 8 having extras was be a cruel April Fool's joke when TheCharmedOnes.com posted the news on Saturday, but we had heard rumblings late last week as well. We checked with Brad Kern and he confirmed the news that
Charmed will have extras on the eighth season. Obviously CBS got the message that fans wanted to see extras on their sets; TheCharmedOnes.com started a campaign, and we made a few well-placed calls. Brad Kern was also
very clear that he wanted extras on the set when
we interviewed him a few months ago.
Season 8 is still many months away, but at least you know there will be some bonus material on the set.
Summary: Seasons 6 and 7 haven't been announced, and we don't know when they'll be announced (so please don't ask). Extras will only be on season 8.
