Some big news for fans of The CW update of Charmed: Madeleine Mantock, who plays “Macy” on the reboot, is leaving the show. Friday’s season finale will be her last episode as a series regular.
TVLine broke the news today with a statement from the actress.
“Playing Macy on Charmed for the last three seasons has been an immense privilege and I have so enjoyed working with our fantastic producers, creatives, cast and crew,” she said. “I’m incredibly grateful to The CW and CBS Studios for my time on the show and for being a brilliant support in my difficult decision to leave. Huge thanks to our fans who can look forward to, what I know will be, a spectacular fourth season.”
“We can’t thank Madeleine enough for her incredible and inspiring work on Charmed,” showrunners Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro told TVLine in additional statement. “We will miss her as much as the fans will, but we also respect her decision to move on. This is a difficult time in the world, and everyone has to follow their heart. We wish her well, and the door is always open for a return visit from Macy…one way or another!”
Interestingly, the original Charmed lost a sister in their Season 3, as well, as Shannen Doherty departed the series at that point. She was replaced by Rose McGowan for the rest of the series run.
The season finale of Charmed airs Friday, July 23 on The CW. Charmed has already been renewed for Season 4 by The CW, and we’ll be curious to see how the “Power of Three” will persist in this new version after Mantock’s departure.
