Motherland: Fort Salem is an American supernatural drama television series created by Eliot Laurence that premiered on Freeform on March 18, 2020. The series stars Taylor Hickson as Raelle Collar, Jessica Sutton as Tally Craven, and Ashley Nicole Williams as Abigail Bellweather, three witches conscripted into the U.S. Army.

Premise[]

Motherland: Fort Salem follows Raelle Collar, Abigail Bellweather and Tally Craven, three witches who are conscripted into the U.S. Army. They train in combat magic and use their vocal cords to enact "seeds" or "seed sounds", layering vocal sounds to create powerful spells. The series takes place in a women-dominated world in which the U.S. ended persecution of witches 300 years ago during the Salem witch trials after an agreement known as the Salem Accord.[6] The world finds itself at odds with a terrorist organization known as the Spree, a witch resistance group fighting against the conscription of witches.

Cast and characters[]

Main[]

  • Amalia Holm as Scylla,[7][8] a second-year cadet at Fort Salem whom Raelle falls for, but who is evasive about her past. It is later revealed her surname is Ramshorn.[9] Her parents were killed for being dodgers, an illegal act of avoiding military conscription.
  • Demetria McKinney as Anacostia Quartermaine,[7] a tough drill sergeant at Fort Salem[10]
  • Jessica Sutton as Tally Craven,[7] a witch who enthusiastically enlists at Fort Salem despite her mother's opposition due to all of Tally's aunts being previously killed in action
  • Ashley Nicole Williams as Abigail Bellweather,[7] a proud enlistee at Fort Salem from the storied Bellweather witch family line
  • Lyne Renée as Sarah Alder[7][10] (season 2; recurring season 1[a]), the commanding general of the United States' witch armed forces and the leader of Fort Salem.
