Freeform’s Summer Slate Looks Amazing!
MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM
Freeform’s summer slate has three of my favorite shows, and one new one to see, I cannot wait! I am beyond excited for more Motherland: Fort Salem, I love these witches and their good works! I have been waiting longest for this one. I hope they come to the NYC Comic Con for interviews!
The end of season 2 of “Motherland: Fort Salem” left Abigail, Tally, Raelle and Scylla fugitives on the run. Now without a military nor a home, they seek protection alongside the Dodger community in the Cession — but laying low and staying out of trouble has never been their strong suit. With witch hunters working against them from inside the White House, our heroes must call upon ancient forces in the final battle for their right to exist.
The series stars Taylor Hickson, Jessica Sutton, Ashley Nicole Williams, Amalia Holm, Demetria McKinney and Lyne Renée. In addition, fan-favorites Sheryl Lee Ralph (as President Wade), Victor Webster (as Blanton Silver), Tony Giroux (as Adil) and Catherine Lough Haggquist (as Petra Bellweather) will be back as recurring cast members. Executive produced by Eliot Laurence, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Kevin Messick, Amanda Tapping, Brian Studler and Tracey Jeffrey. “Motherland: Fort Salem” will premiere Tuesday, June 21, at 10:00 p.m. EDT/PDT, trailer here, and then some tiny spilers!
