The network revealed that new show Motherland: Fort Salem has been renewed for a second season, as well as new comedy Everything’s Gonna Be Okay.

“I could not be more grateful for the chance to keep exploring the world of ‘Motherland: Fort Salem,’” Writer/Creator Eliot Laurence said in a statment. “Freeform has been such a fabulous home for us through the development process, production, post and marketing. I’m also blown away by the love we’ve gotten from our fans, whose excitement and passion played a massive part in this renewal. Thank you, witches!”

“This is great news, not just because it means I have a group of writers that have to hang out on my screen with me all day and I don’t have to be alone anymore getting weird,” Creator, Executive Producer and star Josh Thomas said of EGBO, “but because I love this show and I love these characters and I love our cast and crew and making another season is just going to be so nice.”

Freeform also revealed that the second half of season three of grown-ish and new series Cruel Summer will premiere in 2021.
