Charmed multimedia

The television series Charmed is broadcast in many countries around the world, and all seasons have been released on DVD and spawned representation in other media, such as soundtracks and novels.

DVDs

DVDs of Charmed were first released in 2005, after overcoming licensing issues with the commercial songs in individual episodes. The DVDs were THX Certified.

The first seven Charmed DVD sets contain no special features in accordance with Paramount Home Entertainment's "no extras" policy, and much to the chagrin of both the fans and of Charmed executive producer Brad Kern, who had stated many times that his efforts to persuade Paramount, and later CBS, to include some form of extras were unsuccessful. This changed in 2006 with a promise that the last Charmed DVD box set would contain bonus material.

The special features that were confirmed for Season 8 included three featurettes: "To The Manor Born"; "The Making of Charmed"; and a two part documentary "The Story of Charmed" (which also contains some parts of the unaired pilot) and "Forever Charmed". On the Region 1 DVD set there are cast and crew commentaries on episode 1 (Brad Kern, Kaley Cuoco and James Conway), episode 10 (Brad Kern, Brian Krause and Cameron Litvack) and episode 22 (Brad Kern and James Conway). The Region 1 set also includes three Easter eggs (Tape Ball, 100 episodes, and Book of Shadows). In Issue 12 of Charmed magazine, Kern stated that he wanted approximately 90 minutes of extras, and would also have liked to include the unaired pilot (starring Lori Rom as Phoebe Halliwell); however, this encountered legal difficulties. The Season 6 Bonus Disc includes a "Making A Scene" featurette and a "Casting Session" featurette from Fox Movie Channel.

The season 8 DVDs feature a new opening theme, having replaced the song "How Soon is Now?" with an instrumental piece. This change was made because the music license to use the original theme song had expired and it was deemed too expensive to extend the license to use the song solely for the eight season DVD set. This is also the same with the Netflix streaming of the series.

Cover art

-Most regions share the same cover art; only the covers for Seasons 3, 5, and 7 have been changed from their Region 1 releases. Season 8 for Region 1 has the same picture of the three girls on the cover, but a different colored background.

The infamous chandelier, from Halliwell Manor was replaced in Season 8 with an orange globe for Regions 2-6, whereas Region 1 has a Scrying Crystal under the chandelier, which is shown above the girls.

Significant box sets

The "Book of Shadows" edition DVD collection was originally released as an exclusive to Australia (Region 4) on November 16, 2006. This limited edition run features Seasons 1-7, a numbered certificate, and includes a selection of the original illustrated pages used in the Book of Shadows prop featured in the show. A write-up of each seasons' episodes is followed by that season on six discs, which fit on one page. The book contains an extra page reserved for the separately released Season 8 DVDs. Following the release of the Season 8 DVDs, the Book of Shadows collection was again released, this time fully stocked with all seasons.

The "Magic Chest" edition features all eight seasons, and comes in an ornate miniature wooden chest with leatherworks and a red velvet interior. It was released exclusively to Region 2 countries during March 2007.

20th Century Fox announced on June 21, 2008 the release of two "complete series" box sets that were released for North America on November 18, 2008. One set is a regular release, and the other a "Limited Deluxe Edition". Both packages were styled after the Book of Shadows in the series, with the deluxe edition being full size, and the regular release being scaled down. Both sets also include more extras, including the unaired pilot. The deluxe edition included two bonus discs, one packaged with the DVDs and the other a limited edition exclusive disc available through Best Buy only.

The UK received a second complete box set, titled "The Ultimate Boxset", with the same bonus features as North America, released on October 27, 2008.

On November 27, 2008, Australia received two options for the complete series as well. One set is identical to the UK box set release, while the other is a purple "stylish velour collector's box", with a velvet lining. Both sets contained the same extra features.
