The teaser trailer for season three of WGN America’s Salem declares the Witching Hour is near, however the premiere of the upcoming season isn’t. The network released the teaser and announced season three will not debut until Halloween week. Janet Montgomery returns as Mary Sibley with Shane West as Captain John Alden, Seth Gabel as Cotton Mather, Ashley Madekwe as Tituba, Tamzin Merchant as Anne Hale, Elise Eberle as Mercy Lewis, Iddo Goldberg as Isaac Walton, Joe Doyle as Baron Sebastian Marburg, and Oliver Bell as Mary’s son. Marilyn Manson will be guest starring in season three as barber surgeon Thomas Grinley.
Salem is currently shooting in Shreveport, LA. The series was created and written by Brannon Braga and Adam Simon who also executive produce along with Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, Jeff Kwatinetz, and Josh Barry.
The Plot of Season Three: 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?
