Duke Vincent had executive produced a one - hour pilot episode for The WB's 2005--06 season . The pilot was written by Kern about a mermaid who attempts to live on dry land in Miami . As work progressed on Charmed's fifth season double - episode premiere, "A Witch's Tail," the theme of mermaids was recognized to have potential for its own series, even though the episode was never meant to be a backdoor pilot for a television spin - off . The series plot was going to be centered on a mermaid named Nikki, who is rescued by a young man when she washes ashore in Miami . Her savior, Matt Johnson, is initially in utter disbelief of Nikki's supernatural nature, until it is proven true . The mermaids originated from a sunken city and had supernatural abilities, including superhuman strength and agility, as well as being able to see in the dark, read emotions and had a connection with other sea creatures . However, another race of creatures were hunting for Nikki . </P> <P> During the casting process, Kern "looked in London and New York and New Zealand, Hollywood, Florida, Melbourne and Sydney" and, after interviewing around 300 people, discovered "a fresh new face" in Australian actress Nathalie Kelley, who played the lead role of Nikki . Geoff Stults was then cast as Matt and Brandon Quinn was cast as Matt's "goofy best friend ." Additionally cast in main roles were Roger Daltrey, Ana Ortiz and Beatrice Rosen . The pilot was not picked up by The WB . Speaking on the failure of the series to be picked up, Kern revealed that CBS and Paramount Television "decided at the last second to cut the budget in half," which resulted in the number of shooting days to be reduced, thus decreasing the quality of the pilot in being able to "' sell' the concept ." Quinn later went on to play Homeland Security Agent Murphy in Charmed's eighth season . Rosen also starred in Charmed's eighth season as Maya Holmes, an innocent whose image Piper inadvertently uses as her false identity Jenny Bennett . </P>
