Spoilers for Charmed Season 1 . At the beginning of Charmed , aspiring beauty influencer Marco Mejia (Miss Benny) has her life at a standstill until legendary model-turned-makeup mogul Madolyn Addison (Kim Cattrall) ) hired him as her assistant. Over the first ten episodes of the new Netflix comedy, Marco goes through a number of unfortunate experiences as he explores his identity as a young gender-nonconforming queer man, ultimately leading to some big lessons and growth. "It felt like an 'Ugly Betty' / 'The Devil Wears Prada' moment, two of my favorite reference points," Miss Benny tells Bustle. "We did some silly pranks, some Scooby-Doo pranks, which were really fun."
The first season of "Charmed " premiered on the same day as the second season of "Max's ..." and by the end—with Cattrall already confirmed to be a guest star in the finale—Marco was on the verge of some new beginnings, and uttered the final line: "I want to say more, but I'll say it again now. We are beautiful," a slight change to the character's catchphrase. Although Netflix has yet to renew Charmed for a second season, the show clearly has more to say.
The team, including executive producer Damon Wayans Jr., also had plenty of time to get the message across. Originally slated to air on The CW, Miss Benny filmed a pilot for Eva Longoria's Charmed in 2019 (with Brooke Shields as Madoline) before being picked up by Netflix in April 2022 Moon took over the abandoned series. I'm grateful for this role because now the character of Marco Mejia has infiltrated my heart and evolved with me as a person. ” they added. “So I think people are going to see something that feels very real and very fresh. I don't think we would have had this opportunity if we hadn't improved over the past few years. "
Either way, while you wait for the showrunner's decision, here's all you need to know about a potential Charmed Season 2.
Charm Season 2 Cast List
In addition to Miss Benny and Cattrall, the main cast of the first season also includes: Jade Payton (Venetia Kelaher), Zane Phillips (Chad Addison), Michael Hsu Rosen (Ben), Ayesha Harris (Britt) and Graham Parkhurst (Parker). Given the events of the finale and the not-so-subtle hints in September's Cry For You , it's possible that Parkhurst won't be returning, though Netflix has yet to make any casting announcements.
Miss Benny also shared their reactions to Cattrall signing on to play Marco's boss and mentor in June 2022. "I cried when I found out it was going to be Kim," Miss Benny shared, adding that they had just rewatched all the months of SATC before the news broke. "In a lot of my scenes with Kim, Marco is very starstruck and in awe of Madoline, and that's easy to do because I feel that way about Kim too. When I approached Marco and Madoline's relationship At the time, I thought, “How would I feel if I could meet one of the strong women I’ve followed my entire life and tell them about the safety they create? "It helps that Kim Cattrall is one of those people."
