Season two of WGN America’s supernatural horror series Salem kicks off on April 5, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT with Lucy Lawless and Stuart Townsend joining the series as regulars. And this new trailer for the upcoming second season shows off the first footage of Lawless and Townsend in character.
Lawless is playing Countess Marburg, described as “one of the last remaining survivors of the legendary line of ancient German witches.” Townsend joins the cast as Samuel Wainwright, an English doctor “looking to uncover the secrets of Salem and keep his own from those who would seek to discover them.”
Returning cast members include Janet Montgomery, Shane West, Seth Gabel, Ashley Madekwe, Tamzin Merchant, Elise Eberle, and Iddo Goldberg.
The Plot:
Salem, a bold re-imagination of the infamous 17th-century witch trials, returns for season two at the dawn of a Witch War. As the disease and devastation unleashed by a deadly supernatural ritual spread through the war-torn village, Salem’s most powerful witch, Mary Sibley, must face off against adversaries old and new who are vying for her throne.
