FREEFORM RELEASES OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE FOR UPCOMING WITCH-THEMED SERIES "MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM"

ASHLEY NICOLE WILLIAMS CAST IN SERIES REGULAR ROLE

Freeform has released the opening title sequence to its highly anticipated witch drama from "Claws" creator Eliot Laurence. Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution nearly 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country, "Motherland: Fort Salem" follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment. In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped, with the more dominant women on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world - but with supernatural tactics and weapons. Ashley Nicole Williams joins the cast as Abigail Bellweather, a driven and courageous witch who is excited to join the ranks of the witches' army. The series also stars Taylor Hickson, Jessica Sutton, Amalia Holm and Demetria McKinney, rounding out the cast of series regulars. "Motherland: Fort Salem" is executive produced by Eliot Laurence, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Kevin Messick, Maria Maggenti and Steven Adelson.
