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. The series stars Ashley Nicole Williams, Jessica Sutton, Taylor Hickson, Demetria McKinney and Amalia Holm. “Motherland: Fort Salem” is executive produced by Eliot Laurence, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Kevin Messick, Maria Maggenti and Steven Adelson.

What do you think? Do you watch Freeform? Which new TV shows will you watch?
Party Of Five was a bit before me, but from what Ive heard, the older brother had to go through some development arc where he was some partying womanizer who had to “grow up”. I hope they change that because I know that being a 20-something who likes to go out and party doesnt mean somethings wrong with you.
I lost fate in Freeform and Netflix, good shows getting cancelled becouse of “politics” and Networks rights,I hate if I really like some show and after two or three seasons gets cancelled,and Freeform and Netflix doing just that last year or so.
