WGN America is bringing out the big guns to start off your work week as another “The People of Salem” video has arrived to get you acquainted with the characters of the network’s upcoming new series. Meet Mary Sibley, portrayed by Janet Montgomery, Salem’s most powerful enchantress. Beware, heathens. Black magic is near!
In “Salem” witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem. The show, 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.
“Salem,” premiering on Sunday, April 20th, enters the world of the most notorious witch trials in history, a period steeped in fear, suspicion, and hysteria. On an expansive set in Shreveport, Louisiana, built to reflect volatile 17th century Massachusetts, “Salem” explores what really fueled the town’s infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth behind them.
