SHREVEPORT, LA, (April 5, 2016) – WGN America announced today that the much-anticipated third season of the supernatural thriller “Salem” will premiere this fall during Halloween week. The network also released an intense new teaser trailer for the upcoming season currently in production in Shreveport, LA. “Salem” continues its bloody, sexy and fantastical reimagining of Colonial America, with renowned recording artist Marilyn Mason, who guest stars in the upcoming season as the bloody barber surgeon Thomas Grinley.
The third season of “Salem” dawns with the triumph of the witches’ plan to remake the New World by bringing the devil to earth and making Salem his capital. But the devil is a liar, and instead of a New World free from murderous Puritan hypocrisy, his own plan will bring nothing but death and slavery with the ultimate aim of leading humanity to destroy itself. And there’s only one person on earth who can beat the devil — the very witch that birthed him, his mother, Mary Sibley. The only problem is—she’s dead. Or is she?
“Salem” stars Janet Montgomery (“Human Target,” “Made in Jersey”) as Mary Sibley, Shane West (“Nikita,” “ER”) as Captain John Alden, Seth Gabel (“Arrow,” “Fringe”) as Cotton Mather, Ashley Madekwe (“Revenge”) as Tituba, Tamzin Merchant (“Jane Eyre”) as Anne Hale, Elise Eberle (“The Astronaut Farmer”) as Mercy Lewis, Iddo Goldberg (“Mob City”) as Isaac Walton, Joe Doyle (“Raw”) as Baron Sebastian Marburg, Oliver Bell (“The Saint”) as Mary’s son and Marilyn Manson guest stars as Thomas Dinley.
Created and written by Brannon Braga and Adam Simon, “Salem” is executive produced by Braga, Simon, Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson and Prospect Park’s Jeff Kwatinetz and Josh Barry. The series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Salem? Will you watch season three? What do you hope happens?
Its 2019 and I’m still waiting with all the crap that’s on TV these days why cancel a show so moving that keeps you in suspense and wanting more I honestly can’t think of another TV show that does this for me I love history I love dark history even more Salem had everything all the dark in Twisted stuff that you love but would never admit it feeds the dark sexuality in all of us and not many shows if any can do that
LOVE THIS SHOW!!! So sad that it has been cancelled!!!
I can’t believe this fantastic show has been cancelled!!! Whole family loves it!!! My only question is WHY? Are our viewing rights being sensored again?
PLEASE do not candel Salem…it’s my favorite show!!! I run my won business and barely have time for televison but I make timefor this show…outstanding writing, AAA CLass actors, and all around mesmerizing storyline. LOVE Salem!
I’m so excited to see Salem is coming back on!!! I have been waiting all year! It’s a great show! Not too many of them anymore! Thanks WGN!!!!!
Glad to hear it is coming back to us!
So glad it’s coming back on , I thought it was over ? Iv watched it on Netflix ..
This show is amazing however, takes too long to bring the next season
I usually don’t like the way historical events are “hollywoodized” with changed or made up historical “facts”, but Salem is an exception. Although it really has little to do with the actual Salem events other than some of the characters with familiar names, i. e, John Alden, Cotton Mather, it nevertheless is a creative take on what life might have been like in a small New England town during that time. The costumes, settings and mannerisms of the actors/actresses bring the characters to life and make you care about them and all people who lived during that time. Thank you… Read more »
