Probably because American Horror Story: Coven.

Would you watch a reboot of Charmed? CBS, apparently, is banking on it: According to Vulture, the network is reportedly attempting to reboot the mid-'90s Aaron Spelling-produced WB series, with Party of Five co-creator Chris Keyser and his partner Syndey Sidner "re-imagining" the series for modern times. Is this because American Horror Story: Coven is doing so well right now? It's probably because of that. Witches are the new trend du jour.

Anyway, the premise sounds like pretty much the same thing, though: It follows a "sisterhood of witches who use their powers for good." No word on if that means the power of three like in the original series, but come on, it's got to, right? Someone save Shannon Doherty from those Education Connection online college commercials, please.

From Vulture:

None

So, yeah, it's because of Coven.
