Witches become warriors. Their training begins now.
Earlier this year, Freeform gave a 10-episode order to “Motherland: Fort Salem,“ an hourlong drama from Claws creator Eliot Laurence and executive producers Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Kevin Messick.
Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country, “Motherland: Fort Salem” follows three young women — two of them played by Taylor Hickson and Jessica Sutton — from basic training in combat magic into early deployment.
“In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped, with the more dominant women on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world — but with supernatural tactics and weapons.”
Check out the brand new official trailer below.
Amalia Holm and Demetria McKinney co-star in the series, written/created by Laurence.
