Eliot Laurence can't help but wonder what might have been.
With Motherland: Fort Salem barely into its third and final season on Freeform, Laurence feels like he's just scratching the surface.
After all, Motherland had its start as a five-book series by Laurence. When publishers didn't bite, he went in a different direction with his concept.
"We've kind of poached some of those ideas and used them in the first two seasons," Laurence explained in a recent virtual media roundtable. "But there's a lot more that I figured out about the world, and it could keep going, for sure."
In fact, Laurence is negotiating to produce more stories from Motherland in a graphic-novel format. Are we going to get such a book set in the Motherland world?
"The provocative questions keep emerging from it," he said. "There's a lot more stories to tell. I'd like to kind of go through...

At ease, soldiers! Motherland: Fort Salem will report for duty with all-new episodes in 2021. Freeform announced via YouTube in May that its supernatural hit was renewed for a sophomore season.
The delightfully dark series explores an alternate reality where the women prosecuted during the Salem Witch Trials between 1692 and 1693 form an alliance with the government and take on a crucial role in the US Army. Flash forward to present day, where these women are celebrated as patriots who routinely risk their lives to keep citizens safe from an organization of terrorist witches known as the Spree. Season one follows a group of young cadets through basic training at Fort Salem, including Raelle (Taylor Hickson), Abigail (Ashley Nicole Williams) and Tally (Jessica Sutton). Think of it as Harry Potter meets Full Metal Jacket.
The cadets sharpen their collective powers - and occasionally spar with each other - as they seek admission to the prestigious War College.

In a video message to fans (watch it below the story), Good Trouble stars Maia Mitchell and Cierra Ramirez explain how production on Season 3 of The Fosters spinoff was suspended over the pandemic and it won’t be ready for a summer 2020 launch as originally planned.

We’re already all in for Freeform‘s Motherland: Fort Salem, a TV show set in an alternate world in which witches have been fighting for the United States for 300 years. The network has ordered the speculative fiction show to series.
The first (and hopefully not only) season of Motherland: Fort Salem will be 10 episodes, with Eliot Laurence (Claws) acting as creator and showrunner. In this world, witches ended their notorious persecution by striking a deal with the U.S. government: if the persecutions stop, witches will serve as a U.S. military force. Here’s hoping the show deals with that particular theme critically. The series will be executive produced by Laurence, Kevin Messick, Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay.

Some say a genre story is only as good as its villains. If that’s the case then Freeform’s military witch drama Motherland: Fort Salem might be onto something.
The baddies in Motherland are a witchy terrorist organization known as the Spree. The Spree operate underground and use their magical powers to commit acts of mass violence in service of their pro-witch ideology. Like any fictional terrorist cell worth its salt, however, the Spree might actually have a point or two. Something is certainly off in a world where young witches are forced to enlist in the military to fight the U.S.’s wars.
“The stuff they’re saying isn’t that far from the truth,” Motherland: Fort Salem creator Eliot Laurence told Den of Geek prior to the show’s premiere. “The things they do, while horrible, are kind of beautiful too. They’re kind of like...

This Motherland: Fort Salem review contains spoilers.
Motherland: Fort Salem Episode 1
Motherland: Fort Salem imagines a world where Salem witches offered to use their powers to fight America’s wars in exchange for their lives and freedom, sealing the deal with the Salem Accords. In this alternate universe, witches — all women, as far as I can tell — are treated with reverence. These women fight our country’s wars using their magic, in return for a seat at the table. Whether women are equal in all parts or society, and not just those with powers, is yet to be determined.
In “Say The Words,” three young witches are conscripted to fight against a magical terrorist cell called The Spree. Abigail Bellweather (Ashley Nicole Williams) is the latest in a long line of Black witches who have served. The Bellweathers are a distinguished military family, and Abigail was raised a patriot.
