  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

File:Charlies-angels-minka-kelly 320 8429.jpg

A 2011 adaptation of the TV show that uses the same premise as the original, with Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly, and Rachael Taylor as the Angels, and Ramón Rodriguez as Bosley. With the passing of John Forsythe (Charlie), executive producer Leonard Goldberg is the only constant across all three iterations of the franchise. Where the original Angels were all frustrated policewomen, the new Angels are all convicts getting a second chance from Charlie.

Cancelled after four episodes (of eight produced).

Tropes used in Charlie's Angels (2011 series) include:


  • The Alcatraz: The prison in "Angels in Chains". Oddly for this trope, the Angels don't actually manage to escape and are instead caught during their escape attempt.
  • Bilingual Dialogue: In "Angels in Chains", when Bosley in disguise talks in English to a Cuban National Revolutionary Police Force (Policía Nacional Revolucionaria) officer, who replied to the former in Spanish.
  • California Doubling: While the series is shot in Florida, there were some places (e.g. Cuba, some of the islands near Florida) that were shot in the state.
  • Classy Cat Burglar: Abby. Not anymore when she was caught by police.
  • Cold Sniper: The Chechen guerrilla turned terrorist when he tried to assassinate the Russian First Lady.
  • Did Not Do the Research: The fictional country of Ukata was stated to be a republic. But why does the show state that the leaders are a monarch?
  • Dirty Cop: The reason why Kate was off the force.
    • Same happened to some Cuban Ministry of Interior officers. It wasn't the case however when the Angels found out about it.
  • External Combustion: How this happened to Gloria when her sedan was destroyed in a car bomb.
  • Framing the Guilty Party: How the Angels did about with the Cuban mission when they were accused of having cocaine by having planted evidence.
  • Laxative Prank: In the pilot, Abby does it to a pair of Rich Bitches.
  • My Greatest Second Chance: How most of the Angels (and Bosley) work for Charlie.
  • Mythology Gag: The Townsend Agency's signage notes that it was founded in 1976.
    • Same thing with the safe deposit box as it had the same numbers too.
  • Shout-Out: In the episode "Angel with a Broken Wing", the Angels mention Call of Duty after they find a disassembled sniper rifle.
  • Why We Can't Have Nice Things: In "Bon Voyage, Angels", the Angels meet with Scott Foster. They all "like him", until Bosley tells them that he's engaged.
