Witches rise up (and get a premiere date) in badass Motherland: Fort Salem trailer
‘s new supernatural drama reimagines history in a way that allows witches to take control of their fate for the first time. The feminist, action-packed series is set in an alternate, present-day America where witches ended their persecution 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the burgeoning U.S. government to fight for their country as the most competent and powerful soldiers ever.
Meanwhile Amalia Holm plays Scylla, a playful yet dark and mischievous recruit who is not what she appears to be; Demetria McKinney plays Anacostia, a tough but wryly humorous drill sergeant whose chief concern is keeping the young recruits alive through basic training; and Lyne Renee recurs as General Sarah Alder, the highest-ranking officer in the Armed Forces and the only leader the witches have ever known.

We’re all harnessing power that has been taken away from us in a way by society. Sexuality, we use that for power. Everything has been flipped as far as the gender roles. It’s so cool to be part of something so innovative.
As for the events that make up the alternate history on the series — namely, the deal struck 300 years ago that put witches in power — Laurence explains that while “we’re not going to see a ton of Salem in season 1,” he does “have plans to bring that into the following season if we’re lucky enough to do one.”— which is also executive produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay — is set to premiere Wednesday, March 18 at 9 p.m. on Freeform.
