100 free Charmed trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
50 free Charmed trivia questions with answers. Charmed ran for 178 episodes on The WB between 1998 and 2006, and for a while it was the longest-running hour-long drama with all-female leads on American television. This quiz covers the whole run: the pilot in the Halliwell Manor attic, Prue's death and Paige's arrival, Piper and Leo's forbidden romance, Cole's turn as the Source, Magic School, the Avatars, Billie and Christy, and the flash-forward finale. There are a few questions on the 2018 CW reboot too. The early questions are the ones any fan will get (which sister freezes time, what the sisters' club is called); the later ones dig into casting near-misses, the unaired pilot, the opening-credits song and the comic-book continuation. Every answer has been checked against the show's published production history and carries a linked source, so you can settle any 'that's not what happened' arguments on the spot. Play it solo or use it as a rewatch-party round.
