Though an exact premiere date was not given, Freeform has announced that Motherland: Fort Salem will be back this summer and provided a synopsis for the new episodes.
“Raelle, Tally, and Abigail confront higher stakes, dangerous magic, and a new threat from an ancient group of witch-hunters, the Camarilla. In the first season, we saw our trio of young witches follow in the footsteps of their foremothers, defending the nation from The Spree as part of the United States Army. Their training is intensified when they are promoted to attend War College, where their magic, relationships, and beliefs will be pushed to the limits. While General Alder seeks out new witches to join the wars to come, The Spree and the Army learn their fight may no longer be with one another. But how can two enemies work together to thwart a hatred that won’t stop until all witches are exterminated?”
Motherland: Fort Salem is set in an alternate reality where witches serve as part of the U.S. military, battling a terrorist group known as the Spree. The show stars Taylor Hickson as Raelle Collar, Jessica Sutton as Tally Craven, Ashley Nicole Williams as Abigail Bellweather, Amalia Holm as Scylla Ramshorn, Demetria McKinney as Anacostia Quartermaine, and Lyne Renée as Sarah Alder.
Season 1 debuted in May of last year. Despite only getting mixed reviews, the show was a hit for Freeform, which has seen its number of original shows dwindle recently. It is also its most ambitious and only supernatural series, following the cancellation of Siren last year.
