The third season of WGN’s witch series Salem is set to premiere this Fall, the week of Halloween, how fitting. . And we couldn’t be more excited. The series is dark, twisted, sexy and simply fantastic.
Season 3 will pick up where the finale ended. The witches accomplished their goal of raising the devil and making Colonial Salem their capital. Instead of the world the covens have hoped for the dark prince will only bring pain, suffering and death. There is only one person who can end his reign, Mary Sibley, his mother. The problem is, she’s dead, or is she? You will have to watch to find out.
Janet Montgomery (Made in Jersey) stars as Mary Sibley. Shane West (ER) plays Mary’s lost love and lover, Captain John Alden, and the father of the devil’s vessel. John’s best friend and clergyman Cotton Mather is played by Arrow actor Seth Gabel, whose wife Anne Hale (Tamzin Merchant), is an unwilling member of Mary’s coven. The series also co-stars Ashley Madekwe (Revenge), Elise Eberle (The Astronaut Farmer), Iddo Doyle (Raw) and Oliver Bell (The Saint) as Mary’s son. This season, rocker Marilyn Manson has joined the cast and will star as Thomas Dinley, Salem’s barber and surgeon. Manson isn’t new to Salem. He provided the opening score that has been featured on the show since it premiered.
The series was created and is written by Brannon Brega and Adam Simon. Braga, Simon, Brian Peterson, Kelly Souders and Prospect Park’s Josh Barry and Jeff Kwatinetz serve as executive producers. Fox 21 Television Studios produces the series.
