I was watching charmed and in the middle of the episode, it stopped working, then when I went back it only shows that there is 2 episodes of season 3 available. However on the main menu it is still showing that there should be all 8 seasons. What is going on?

Likely that the Search Library just was not updated/synched when searching.

Seasons 1-4 of Charmed  are still available on Pluto TV (free) whereas the other seasons moved to Premium/Subscription services.

The free content on these channels/apps are usually just licensed and carried for a certain period of time.  Basically, they just come and go.  It will likely come back in the future. 

Looks like Season 3 of Charmed on Roku Channel (2episodes) is scheduled to leave 10/15/22 at 11:59pm.

Peacock Premium is carrying seasons 1-8.  Currently running a deal/promo for $20/year.  Otherwise, $5/month. https://www.peacocktv.com/.  If going this route, sign up through the website, not the Roku device, in order to take advantage of the offer.

Was so disappointed when I woke up this morning and charmed episodes were gone but 2. This was my first time really giving Roku channel a go. I’m disappointed they didn’t have the date it was leaving the channel displayed anywhere. I wouldn’t of started the series if I’d known in season 4 I’d lose them. I didn’t even get to watch the Chris and Wiat episodes 😞

Same thing happened to me! I thought it was me doing something wrong. I was in season 5 and can't find it anywhere to stream for free. I am so disappointed....

Users have been asking for some run-time indicator (how long content will be available for) for quite awhile.  I am seeing some random notifications/occurence of this in my content searches ("available to be streamed until such and such date and time") so it actually may be a feature that Roku is developing/working on.  Right now it is very random when it occurs.

Certainly would help to minimize the surprise and disappointment users feel when they finally find time to sit down and watch something in particular and find it is no longer available.

Soap2day.rs Is free try there? Its where I keep up to date on NCIS and The Good Doctor and now I may have to watch the last 2 seasons of charmed on there..

I was watching the charmed ones and the next night season 1 &2&3&4 all disappeared. I was at season 2 episode 3 and can't watch it any more on Pluto demand

Goes in cycles.  Free content is available for a limited time, then gets leased out to another channel/app.  Will usually return as free again in a matter of months.

Looks like Pluto still has Seasons 5-8, but Seasons 1-4, as well as 5-8 are again on Peacock. (Premium).

If you add Charmed to your Save List, you can at least check back periodically to see if it has returned/become available for free again.
