The Charmed literary franchise is a series of novels and short stories based on the eponymous television show, which aired from 1998 to 2006. The franchise consists of forty-four novels and eleven short stories released in two anthologies, with ten guide books. Scholarly essay collections on the show were also published. Writers of the novels had to obtain approval from Paramount Pictures or CBS Consumer Products to ensure that they followed the canon established for the television series. A majority of the novels are original stories revolving around the Charmed Ones and their allies, while some were novelizations of episodes. Between 1999 and 2008, forty-one novels were published by Simon & Schuster and were set roughly during the same period as the events of the television series. HarperCollins published a second series of novels starting in 2015, and these narratives primarily occur during the same time period as the comic book series. (Full list...)
