New promo for WGN America’s Salem declares that witches are behind it all

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The witching hour is creeping up on us as WGN America's series "Salem" prepares to cast a spell on us on April 20, and today we have a new promo for the upcoming witch-themed series to share with you that declares that the witches are behind it all!

We've seen several promos and recently brought you some stills and artwork for "Salem", but this latest promo gives us our best look at the show yet.

"Salem" was conjured up from Brannon Braga ("24", "Star Trek: TNG", "Terra Nova") and Adam Simon (THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT), and will go straight to series with 13 episodes. Back in August we learned that "Salem" had tapped Richard Shepard to direct as well as executive produce the series, and in late October learned that Janet Montgomery (WRONG TURN 3) was set to topline.

"Salem" is set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts and explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials. The series will look to uncover the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. The witches featured are real, but they are not who or what they seem. What’s more, the drama, which centers on an epic romance wrapped around this explosive revelation, delivers a bold new vision of Salem — and an even bolder new vision of witches.
