The series spawned a franchise with a film series which is a continuation of the story with new generations of Angels. It has also inspired many remakes and reinterpretations throughout the years and in different countries. It has also been featured in various other media.

===Film series===
The ''Charlie's Angels'' 1976 original television series inspired [[Flower Films]] production company's two films, ''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'' (2000) and ''[[Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle]]'' (2003), with John Forsythe returning as Charlie. Whereas most movie remakes of 1970s TV shows, like ''[[Starsky and Hutch]]'', are actually remakes, the ''Charlie's Angels'' films are set in a different time and thus closer to a film [[revival (television)|revival]]. The mythology goes that whenever an Angel leaves, she is replaced so there are always three. The second film had more nods to the TV series than the first film, with Jaclyn Smith making a brief cameo as Kelly Garrett.

''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'' is a 2000 American [[Action film#Hybrid genres|action comedy film]] based on the ''Charlie's Angels'' 1976 original television series. Unlike the original series, which had dramatic elements, the film featured more comical elements than were seen in the series. The film was directed by [[McG]], adapted by screenwriters Ryan Rowe, [[Ed Solomon]], and [[John August]], and starring [[Cameron Diaz]], [[Drew Barrymore]], and [[Lucy Liu]] as three women working in a private detective agency in [[Los Angeles]]. [[Bill Murray]] plays Bosley and [[John Forsythe]] reprised his role as the unseen Charlie's voice from the original series. Making [[cameo appearance]]s are [[Tom Green]] (who was dating Barrymore at the time of production) and [[LL Cool J]].

A [[sequel]], entitled ''[[Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle|Full Throttle]]'', was released in 2003, directed by [[McG]] and written by [[John August]], and [[Cormac and Marianne Wibberley]]. It is the [[sequel]] to 2000s ''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'', itself based on the 1976 television original series ''Charlie's Angels''. In an [[ensemble cast]], Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu return as the angels Natalie, Dylan, and Alex, respectively. It sees [[Crispin Glover]] and [[Matt LeBlanc]] returning, as well as featuring [[Bruce Willis]], [[Demi Moore]], [[Carrie Fisher]], [[Shia LaBeouf]], [[Robert Patrick]], [[Justin Theroux]], [[Luke Wilson]], [[John Cleese]], and [[Rodrigo Santoro]], with [[Jaclyn Smith]] reprising her role as [[Kelly Garrett (Charlie's Angels)|Kelly Garrett]], and [[Bernie Mac]] as Bosley's brother. This was [[John Forsythe]]'s final film appearance before his retirement and his death in 2010. The film opened in the United States on June 27, 2003, and was number one at the box office for that weekend, also making a worldwide total of $259.2 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.sympatico.msn.ca/movies/galleries/MovieGallery.aspx?cp-documentid=17240697&imageindex=16 |title=Take 1: Movie firsts that changed cinema forever |first=Jonathan |last=Crocker |publisher=MSN Movies |access-date=June 5, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090228035025/http://entertainment.sympatico.msn.ca/movies/galleries/MovieGallery.aspx?cp-documentid=17240697&imageindex=16 |archive-date=February 28, 2009}}</ref>

During the TV show's run, [[Hasbro]] Industries produced an extensive range of ''Charlie's Angels'' merchandise, which was distributed in the US, the UK, and other international markets.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZA3DCwAAQBAJ&q=hasbro+charlie%27s+angels&pg=PA37 | title=TV Toys| isbn=9780747813385| last1=McGoldrick| first1=Anthony A| date=2013-03-10| publisher=Bloomsbury}}</ref> A numerous variety of collectible items were produced, including two versions of dolls, board games, numerous posters, several sets of trading cards, notebooks, a lunchbox and thermos set, a ''Charlie's Angels'' toy van, children's beauty products and even record albums.

In the UK, as was common with many popular US programs of the era, a series of tie-in hardcover annuals were published by World International Publishing Ltd, containing stories, comics, photos, puzzles and features on the stars. There are four ''Charlie's Angels'' annuals in total.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=http://www.museum.tv/eotv/charliesang.htm |encyclopedia=The Museum of Broadcast Communications - Encyclopedia of Television |title=Charlie's Angels |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211073336/http://www.museum.tv/eotv/charliesang.htm |archive-date=2013-12-11}}</ref>

Although it was not connected to the show, a [[Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster|1976 poster of Farrah Fawcett sporting a red bathing suit]] became the biggest selling poster in history with 12 million copies sold. This poster also helped the burgeoning popularity of the series. The red swimsuit that helped make Farrah Fawcett a 1970s icon became part of the Smithsonian's collection in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/feb/2/farrah-fawcetts-red-swimsuit-going-smithsonian/|title=Farrah Fawcett's red swimsuit goes to Smithsonian |publisher=The Washington Times|website=www.washingtontimes.com}}</ref> The picture has been immortalized as a Black Label Barbie Collection doll and the legendary red bathing suit has been donated to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

====Comics====
Two British [[comic strip]] versions were produced. The first appeared in the [[Polystyle Publications|Polystyle publication]] ''Target'' in April 1978, drawn by John Canning. ''Target'' was a sister title to the long-running ''[[TV Comic]]'' aimed at older children and featuring TV action and crime shows of the day. Proving unpopular, it folded in August and merged back into ''TV Comic'' where Canning's Angels strip continued until October 1979. The second strip was printed in Junior TV Times ''[[Look-in]]'', debuting in November 1979 (as soon as Polystyle's deal expired), written by [[Angus Allan]] and drawn by [[Jim Baikie]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/b/baikie_jim.htm|title=Jim Baikie|website=lambiek.net}}</ref> and Bill Titcombe.
