Not even the magic of the Halliwell sisters can make the Charmed reboot appear on your screens this year.

Less than a month after The CW whipped Charmed fans into a frenzy by ordering a reboot without the original cast's involvement, it's decided to put off any further development on the show for now.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The CW is going to completely retool Charmed and its Lost Boys TV series next season. Both would then be eligible to air in 2018.

In terms of Charmed, the network apparently wasn't satisfied with Jane the Virgin writers Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin's pseudo-prequel version of the cult classic supernatural drama.

This new version - while connected in some way to the original Charmed - was set in a '70s-era New England town where three women were mystically drawn together as the Power of Three.

The announcement that original cast members Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan weren't involved in the new Charmed understandably turned off many longtime fans.

However, CW president Mark Pedowitz soon defended his decision to make this reboot a "self-contained, self-sustaining" show rather than a sequel or prequel to the original Charmed.

"In terms of whether the [original] characters or actresses will come into the series, we'll see what happens as the series goes on. That's to be determined," he told reporters at the TCA press tour in January.

"At this time, there is the Power of Three element in there, but at this time it's a stand-alone, separate show."

A delayed decision on the new Charmed is likely down to a jam-packed CW schedule. Earlier today (February 3), the US network squished another DC Comics show into its fall slate by picking up DC's Black Lightning from Fox.
