Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution by cutting a deal with the government to fight for the country, Motherland: Fort Salem follows three young women from training to deployment, as they fight terrorist threats with supernatural tactics. Positioning the show as epic & empowering with strong female narratives, Freeform used unique creative to introduce Motherland as a provocative new original series and literally break through the social feeds of our fans.
The goal was to successfully launch Motherland; to introduce the characters and build out the world of the alternate America where the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped and female witches are on the front lines of battle.
