If you were a fan of the witches, good news: Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 will be out soon.
Motherland: Fort Salem is an American supernatural drama by Eliot Laurence. The show first premiered on Freeform on March 18, 2020. Starring Taylor Hickson, Jessica Sutton, and Ashley Nicole Williams starring as the three witches, this show is nothing less than a masterpiece.
The show is returning with a third and final season, and here’s everything you could want to know about it.
About Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3
Motherland: Fort Salem takes place in an alternate reality. The Salem Accord ended the persecution of the witches, but they help the US Army to accomplish the goal of national safety.
Season two ended such that the Spree’s leader was exposed and perceived for her crime, and it is quite visibly true that Camarilla’s battle against the witches will be, without beating around the bush, the center point of Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3.
The second season ended with Camarilla’s vengeance brimming (a great understatement) against several characters on the show.
Abigail runs on hatred because of what happened to Charvel and Alder was right there when their coven was slaughtered. Mycelium was created, and Scylla and Anacostia are no strangers to the treatment of children showing the signs of witchery.
It does not end there. Raelle has almost (ALMOST) joined in, following Willa’s death. Each witch with a personal vendetta will be standing up front, united, in order to pursue them, that much is for sure.
Here’s what to expect: this season will be stand to be an aggregated conclusion for all of the chaos seen in the past two seasons. It will bind it all together and create a story worth remembering, one that will leave you with chills.
Eliot Laurence made a comment on the show.
“Every time we get to dive back into the world of ‘Motherland: Fort Salem,’ it’s a pleasure and an honor,” he says, “I can’t wait to bring season three to the world. We plan to ramp up the insane stakes of the finale with an epic, scary, satisfying ride, all the while getting deeper into witch’s ancient origins.”

Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Critical Response
On Rotten Tomatoes, Motherland: Fort Salem has an average rating of 6.73 and an approval rating of 69%. The consensus stated: “Despite a fine cast and impressive set up, Motherland: Fort Salem‘s ambitious ideas are overwhelmed by the sheer too-muchness of it all.”
Metacritic weighed it as a 49 on 100.
As for season 3, Screenrant says, “It’s a mistake to end Motherland: Fort Salem with season 3 as there are too many unresolved storylines, character arcs, and unanswered questions left.”
