Motherland: Fort Salem Plot and Cast
With the leader of the Spree being caught in the last season, the new season will focus on the Camarilla and their crusade against witches. The previous season worked to establish the personal vendetta of several characters against the Camarilla.
Abigail continues to hate them for what they did to her cousin Charvel, Alder saw them slaughter her coven, leading to the creation of the Mycelium, and both Scylla and Anacostia have seen how the Camarilla treat children who show signs of being witches.
Following Willa’s death, Raelle will surely join their ranks, ensuring that almost every witch will have a personal reason for going after them, which will manifest in a united front. With Raelle now able to communicate with the Mycelium through her mother’s spirit, that will play an important role in attacking the Camarilla or defending her loved ones from them.
Peter Bellweather’s overturning of General Alder’s power in the military will surely be explored in the third season. Clearly, despite Tally and others standing against Alder, she is not ready to give up power so easily, and Season 3 might see Alder try to regain her position.
Coming to the cast, the leads of the first two seasons should come back in Season 3. This includes Taylor Hickson, Amalia Holm, Demetria McKinney, Jessica Sutton and Ashley Nicole Williams. Since it is a new season, we can expect to see some new faces.
