The eighth and final season of Charmed, an American supernatural drama television series, began airing on September 25, 2005 on The WB. Airing on Sundays at 8:00 pm, the season consisted of 22 episodes and concluded its airing on May 21, 2006, only four months before The WB shut down to merge with UPN to form The CW. Paramount Home Entertainment released the complete final season in a six-disc box set on September 11, 2007.
In 2016, Gavin Hetherington of SpoilerTV ran a series of Charmed articles in the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the series finale. The eighth was a complete season review of season eight, posted on the day of the 10th anniversary of the series finale. Gavin comments that the season suffers from its budget cut, saying "I blame budget more than anything else for the reason season 8 felt less magical than most of the previous seasons". He highlighted 'Forever Charmed' as the best episode the season, while also saying he respected the writers since they "still managed to deliver 22 episodes of hit-and-misses, but for me, a lot of it was good".
