Warning: this article contains spoilers for Charmed season 2's first episode.

Premiering on The CW earlier this week, season two of Charmed saw the reboot's biggest twist arrive in the unmasking of the hooded assassin.

In the first episode, he destroys the Book of Shadows and paralyses Macy's magical powers with a dart, which in turn makes her hallucinate a seductive version of Harry.

The problem is, the mysterious foe is Harry (or at least a part of him), and now actor Rupert Evans has shared his thoughts on how that effects the rest of this season.

In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Evans was quizzed on whether Harry has been cloned, or even if a shapeshifting demon had adopted his appearance.

"There's a lot of possibilities," he replied. "As you know, at the end of episode one, I see myself. As the series goes on, particularly into episode five and six, we get a greater understanding of why there is another half of him out there, seemingly a darker half, and how that came about."

The actor elaborated: "You'll learn how this darker half was created and why he was created. It's sort of all wrapped in the mythology of whitelighters. It's a really pivotal part of the season about looking back into Harry's life and how he found himself as a whitelighter.

"A part of that is this other half. It's a really exciting storyline for me personally because I obviously get to play two parts. And that's really, for an actor, that's the biggest treat, to play the good part and the bad part."

Charmed airs on The CW.
