Set in the 17th century, Salem revolves around the Salem witch trials in colonial Massachusetts. A powerful witch named Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery) controls the trials by fueling Puritan hysteria as she works to begin the Grand Rite. Her plans are complicated when her long lost love — John Alden (Shane West) — returns to Salem. The cast also includes Seth Gabel, Ashley Madekwe, Tamzin Merchant, Elise Eberle, Iddo Goldberg, Joe Doyle, Oliver Bell, and Samuel Roukin.

What do you think? Do you like the Salem TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season on WGN America?
Please release season 4 . I love salem .and i want to watch it as long you can make new seasons.i love it please .don’t cancel a awsome show. people love it.
Mostly every show i love the producers are trying to cancel them.. i mean if there are high ratings on the shows why cancel them.. these are some shows i love that they are trying to cancel (the secret circle, witches of east end, salem, damien, sexond chance, etc..
I seriously hope that there will be a fourth season of this show.. i love this show and i would hate it if they leave me wondering what will happen to the devil and the citizens once the devil takes over salem.. seriously this show can’t just end like the way it did.. they should definitely renew salem
I’m so sad to see this series end after just 3 seasons. It makes me wonder if ratings are taken by not just live viewers but, dvr viewers and streaming service users.
I was wondering the same thing. I can’t get cable where I live and refuse to pay for satellite service. I stream all my shows… and I love this series. I hope to see it continue.
Please let there be a season 4 of Salem. I haven’t found a tv show I have liked since the Charmed series. Salem is very intriguing and I love watching it it keeps me captured and what’s going on and excited about what’s going to happen next I absolutely love it
I really like the show and is better if continued the next season
Woe, woe and thrice woe. I LOVE Salem, it’s the best series to come out of America (I watch it in the UK). You should import it here, I’m sure it would go down a storm.
You can’t cancel Salem after the finale of season 3! There is still so much to be seen. Ann has only just begun her reign of terror and that needs to be expanded. As a writer I see Salem needs to continue until there is no one left alive. If the show gets cancelled before a final solution this would hurt ratings more than anything! KEEP GOING!
salem is the best series of all time,please am on my knees for season four
Oh come on..with that cliff hanger its gonna have to be a season 4. I absolutely love the series. I want more.
Greatest show of our times personally I believe Salem could have gone on longer than seinfeld but thats just my opinion.
SEASON 4 please I’m dying to know what happens to Salem, the witches and John. I LOVE this show and would be really upset just to have it end the way it is. I Think the fans should take a vote to do season 4 or not. No other witch show has done such a great job as Salem has please SEASON 4!!!!!
I’m dying to see what happens next with Anne in charge! Please bring back Salem for another season!
What a mistake! This show was so unique and I see the second season lull was due to the storyline but the network should have stood by tv show and it would have gotten better again.
Probably the ratings wouldn’t drop if the season wasn’t too short and if they woouldn’t take months for the new season.
