As Hollywood is progressing toward the era of breaking stereotypes, the CW network reproduced the series Charmed by excluding the original series' cast members to emphasize the notion of feminism among the minority group of people. Although the reboot series which started in 2018 had received criticism and protests from fans of the original series, it garnered enough ratings for CW to continue with its production to this date. However, does the series over-emphasize the concept of feminism by centralizing the nonwhite female characters? This paper examines the portrayal of women's empowerment among the female characters and the representation of feminism in the reboot series Charmed. The analysis reveals that feminism is mostly presented among the nonwhite females where they portray women's empowerment using the 'Power of Three' – power-over, power-to, and power-with. In this series, the nonwhite women are no longer portrayed as subordinate, helpless or sexual objects of the white men. This study extends research on feminism in TV series by illustrating the way nonwhite female characters transform the traditional paradigm of nonwhite female subservience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
