Motherland: Fort Salem

**Motherland: Fort Salem** is an American drama series created by Eliot Laurence that premiered on Freeform on March 18, 2020. The second season premiered on June 22, 2021 on Freeform and Hulu. On August 23, 2021, it was announced that the program had been renewed for a third season. This was the program's final season. Showrunner Eliot Laurence stated that the third season would "ramp up the insane stakes of the finale with an epic, scary, satisfying ride, all the while getting deeper into witch’s ancient origins."

The show is about a trio of witches who are trained to become powerful weapons for the American military. As they undergo this training, they uncover dark truths regarding the history of witches in America, as well as the groups' true enemy.

## Synopsis

Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution nearly 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country, “Motherland: Fort Salem” follows three young women 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.
