​Summer Magic Unleashed: A Charmed Reunion at Comic Con Open Air 2026!
Get ready for a nostalgic weekend of sun, fandom, and the Power of Three at Asiat Park in Vilvoorde!

🚨 CANCELED 🚨 Unfortunately, Holly, Brian and Drew are unable to attend this convention due to reasons unknown to me. They were very excited for this Charmed Reunion in Belgium.

​The ultimate summer road trip is just around the corner, and the magic is officially moving to Belgium! Get your gear packed and fire up your inner light because an unbelievable Charmed Reunion is taking over Comic Con Open Air 2026 at Asiat Park in Vilvoorde this July 4 & 5.

​The absolute best part? Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, and Drew Fuller are confirmed to be attending for both days of the event! At Comic Con Open Air, you are in for an incredible treat. It is a brilliant outdoor festival experience that perfectly blends a star-studded comic con layout with a relaxed, sunny summer festival atmosphere. Walking through the vibrant grounds of Asiat Park while celebrating our favorite childhood fandoms is the most wonderful way to spend a July weekend.

​Celebrating the Cast and Their Careers

​Holly Marie Combs

Bringing the perfect balance of heart, fierce protectiveness, and explosive freeze powers to our screens, Holly Marie Combs captured our hearts completely as the legendary Piper Halliwell. Beyond her iconic role as the ultimate kitchen witch and maternal anchor of the family, Holly has enchanted audiences for decades with memorable starring roles in major television dramas like Picket Fences and Pretty Little Liars, and also in Dr. Giggles, Point of Entry and so much more.

​For many of us, her off-screen bond with her castmates is just as magical. In 2015, Holly teamed up with her real-life best friend, the dear and beloved Shannen Doherty for a brilliant 6-episode road trip reality series called Off the Map with Shannen and Holly. Airing from January 2 to February 6, 2015, on the Great American Country (GAC) network, the show followed them as they traveled through the southeastern United States, tackling fun local activities voted on by fans. Seeing Shannen and Holly back together on screen was a beautiful gift, feeling exactly like a heartwarming reunion between Piper and Prue Halliwell.

​Beyond acting, Holly has channeled her passions into an amazing culinary venture with her restaurant, Cattle Point BBQ, located in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, Washington. If you follow along on Instagram and Facebook, you already know how mouthwatering and delicious her dishes look! It is incredible to see her thrive in this chapter, and we wish Holly all the absolute best, luck, and massive success with her restaurant.

Make sure to check out my special Instagram restaurant photo collage post to see the amazing setup, and you can find the exact spot using this Google Maps link.

​Brian Krause

As the comforting, protective whitelighter Leo Wyatt, Brian Krause provided the soul and guiding light for the sisters throughout the entire series. His portrayal of Leo’s journey from a mysterious handyman to an Elder and a devoted family man created some of the most emotional storylines in fantasy television history.

​Brian’s diverse and extensive career spans decades of exceptional performances across major Hollywood blockbusters, television movies, independent thrillers, and video games. Long before guiding the Halliwell sisters, Brian captivated global audiences with his breakout leading role as Richard Lestrange in Return to the Blue Lagoon alongside Milla Jovovich, followed immediately by starring as Charles Brady in Stephen King's horror classic Sleepwalkers. He also showcased his leading-man charisma in major multi-part television projects, including starring as Lynn in the action-packed Bandit television film series, and playing the recurring role of Matt Cory on the iconic daytime drama Another World.

​His impressive filmography spans a wide variety of genres, from intense psychological thrillers like Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer, Trauma Therapy, Breakout, and Be Afraid, to gripping independent features like Cyber-Case, Homestead, and The Windigo. He has also been a staple of popular holiday and family features, starring in fan favorites like Christmas for a Dollar, The Christmas Switch, Gabe the Cupid Dog, and You're So Cupid. On television, Brian has made highly memorable guest appearances across major primetime hits, including Mad Men, Castle, The Closer, CSI: Miami, Walker, Texas Ranger, Tales from the Crypt, S.W.A.T., and Dynasty. On top of his extensive on-screen career, Brian has also stepped behind the camera as a producer on titles like Ribbons, and lent his distinct voice to the gaming universe, portraying characters in massive video game franchises like L.A. Noire and Fallout 76.

​Drew Fuller

Stepping into the fold with an incredible twist as the mysterious, half-whitelighter time-traveler Chris Halliwell, Drew Fuller brought an intense, gripping energy to the family dynamic that completely revitalized the show's mythos.

​Drew's sharp charisma and multi-faceted talents have earned him a massive global following across several creative industries. Before fully transitioning to acting, Drew entered the fashion world at sixteen and quickly rose to prominence as a top international model, fronting high-profile campaigns for major global brands like Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, and Club Med. Later he also starred in popular commercials, including a memorable Subway commercial where he shared a fantastic crossover connection with the fandom world. The iconic "Subway, Eat Fresh!" jingle was performed by none other than Jason Paige, the original singer of the Pokémon theme song!

Drew also starred in some of the most iconic music videos of the 2000s, including playing the lead boyfriend in The Calling's massive hit "Wherever You Will Go," and featuring prominently in Jennifer Love Hewitt's "BareNaked" and Lindsay Lohan's "Over."

​His acting career quickly flourished on television, where he is widely recognized too for his role as Trevor LeBlanc across six seasons of the hit Lifetime drama series Army Wives. Drew has also led major cinematic features, starring as Jason Stevens in the inspiring drama The Ultimate Gift alongside James Garner, and taking on leading roles in thrillers like Vampire Clan, Loaded, and Fatal Instinct. His performance in the gritty independent action feature The Kane Files: Life of Trial earned him the prestigious Best Actor award at the San Diego Film Festival. Fans also cherish his work across heartwarming television features like Hallmark's Perfect on Paper and Love, Fall, and Order, alongside the acclaimed drama Test Pattern and the holiday film Holiday Twist. On top of memorable guest roles on primetime hits like The O.C., NCIS: Los Angeles, Longmire, and The Rookie, Drew has also successfully expanded his talents behind the camera, working as a writer, producer, and director for various short films, music videos, and commercial projects. That's Drew Fuller yes!

​The House of Halliwell Connection
When Charmed ended after 8 seasons, the magic didn't end there. Holly, Brian, and Drew continue to bring the fandom together with their phenomenal podcast, House of Halliwell! Listening to them rewatch the series, share exclusive behind-the-scenes memories, and chat with special guests is the ultimate treat for any Charmed fan! You know what I mean!

​House of Halliwell Live Recording
Just when I thought this weekend couldn't possibly get any better, Comic Con Open Air officially dropped a massive announcement on Tuesday, June 23, 2026! Holly, Brian, and Drew are actually going to record a brand-new episode of the House of Halliwell podcast live right there at the convention!

Hearing this news completely blew me away. As a longtime fan who has spent countless hours rewatching the series and following all their updates, being able to experience their unmatched dynamic and behind-the-scenes storytelling live in person for the first time is going to be unforgettable. Standing in that crowd while they make magic happen on the microphones is a moment I absolutely cannot wait to experience.


​You can check out their episodes and subscribe directly on the official website at https://hoh.supercast.com. While you are at it, you can score some cool HOH merch at the House of Halliwell store at houseofhalliwell.com.

Don't forget to show them some love and stay updated with their latest clips by following the House of Halliwell Instagram page at @thehouseofhalliwell


Speaking of their merch, I recently picked up this official HOH Snapback Hat, and it is absolutely stunning!

The quality is incredible, and I am going to be wearing it proudly throughout both convention days at Asiat Park to celebrate the podcast team coming to Belgium!

​Funko Pop Collection Updates & Convention Goals
Our love for the show naturally spills over into collecting, and the Charmed Funko Pop! shelf has had some amazing updates lately. So far, the collection proudly features Prue Halliwell, Piper Halliwell, and Phoebe Halliwell.

But the biggest surprise happened recently! I ordered the official Belthazor Charmed Funko Pop! and Brenda Walsh Beverly Hills 90210 Funko Pop! on the official European Funko online shop. When I ordered Belthazor Funko Pop!, I was expecting to add the iconic demon to the display. To my absolute shock and surprise, when the box arrived, I pulled out the ultra-rare Chase Variant, Cole Turner!

It was an incredible collector's moment, even if it means I will have to try my luck again later to officially complete the set with Belthazor.

​Having Cole Turner, a complex character in Charmed, in my Funko Pop! collection reminds me deeply of the late Julian McMahon. I never got the chance to meet him in person, but he brought an undeniable charisma to the show and is greatly missed by fandom communities worldwide.

​Our collection also features a very special tribute to our dear Shannen Doherty.

Because of her, I made sure to add the Brenda Walsh Beverly Hills, 90210 Funko Pop! right alongside her Prue Halliwell figure. It is a small, heartfelt way to celebrate her immense impact on pop culture. We received the Brenda Walsh Funko Pop! together with Cole Turner Funko Pop! because we ordered them together. (Well, ordered Belthazor Funko Pop! actually.)

​Looking forward to Comic Con Open Air, I have a massive mission for my collection. I am bringing along my Piper Halliwell Funko Pop!, and my ultimate goal for the weekend is to get this beautiful piece signed by Holly Marie Combs herself!

To make it even more special, getting Brian and Drew to sign memorabilia alongside her will make this the ultimate tri-fold tribute to the Halliwell family lineage. Looking to the future, we hope that Funko will eventually expand the line to bring us a Paige Matthews figure, alongside Leo Wyatt, Chris Halliwell, and Darryl Morris pops to keep the family together!

​Looking Back at the Legacy of Charmed
The legacy we are celebrating this July started all the way back on October 7, 1998, when the series premiered its very first episode, "Something Wicca This Way Comes". For eight incredible seasons, spanning all the way until the emotional series finale, "Forever Charmed", on May 21, 2006, the show redefined supernatural drama.

From seasons 1 to 3, the series focused on the original power of three sisters: Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell. Following the emotional season 3 finale, the universe expanded in the season 4 premiere episode, "Charmed Again (Part 1)", when the wonderful Rose McGowan joined the cast as their long-lost half-sister, Paige Matthews, ushering in a whole new era of magic.

​We hold onto the hope that we will get to reunite with Rose McGowan again soon in the near future, and we are incredibly eager to finally meet the fantastic Dorian Gregory. We deeply admire his work as Darryl Morris, the loyal, brave police lieutenant who protected the sisters' secrets from season 1 all the way through season 7.

​Of course, our thoughts always return to our beloved Shannen Doherty. Shannen is remembered every single day, and the global fanbase honors her memory in a massive way every weekend with beautiful Shando Sunday posts and reels across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, a tradition Holly herself often joins. We too remember dear Shannen every day, and especially on Shando Sunday with beautiful posts and reels to celebrate her life and legacy.

​Pro Tips: What to Bring to Get Signed
If you are heading out to meet Holly, Brian, and Drew at Asiat Park, making sure your memorabilia stays pristine during travel is essential. Here are some great ideas on what to bring to the signing table:
🔹️ The Piper Halliwell Funko Pop!: A staple piece for any collector. A great tip to make it safer and easy to bring is to slide the plastic insert and figure out to leave safely at home, and just bring the box completely flat. It is much easier to travel with and carry around the convention floor! That is exactly how I am packing mine for Holly to sign!
🔹️ Media Inserts: Take the paper cover art sleeves out of your Charmed DVD and Blu-ray cases so they stay perfectly flat in an art portfolio.
🔹️ Art and Replicas: Charmed posters, official magazines in which they are featured, a custom replica of the Book of Shadows, or official HOH merch straight from their site.
🔹️ Previous Memories: High-quality prints of your photo ops or printed selfies from past conventions make incredibly unique, personal pieces to get signed if you've been lucky enough to cross paths with them before!

​Experience the Reunion Live!
I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly excited I am to cross the border into Belgium as Comic Con Wanderers and experience this beautiful weekend at Asiat Park. The anticipation for the photo ops, the signing sessions for autographs, and hearing their stories live on the main panel stage is completely off the charts!

​Don't wait until it is too late. Make sure to head over and secure your tickets before they sell out completely.

Come join the fun, catch the beautiful 90s and 2000s nostalgia, and share this unforgettable experience with your fellow Charmed fans!
