In witches we trust?<\/p>\n

E! News has an exclusive sneak peek at Freeform’s new witchy drama, Motherland: Fort Salem<\/em>, and it’s safe to say this isn’t your father’s American history.<\/p>\n

Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution over 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the government to fight for the United Sates, the series follows three young women who go from basic training (combat magic, naturally) into their early deployment.<\/p>\n

In the world of Motherland: Fort Salem<\/em>, the traditional gender roles are flipped, and women have the power, are on the front lines and facing down all manners of threats.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
