The three actresses went on the series to chat about their new Freeform show Motherland: Fort Salem.
During their interview, Taylor opened up about how she thinks that their show differs from other shows about witchcraft.
“One thing I think Motherland does so well that no other show seems to shed light on, is just the divinity and the true meaning of what Wiccan culture,” she said.
“I think it’s so demonized. It’s such a misunderstood community, and it’s so much about femininity, and light, and supporting each other. Healing,” Taylor added.
Be sure to check out the trailer and tune in for the series premiere THIS Wednesday (March 18) on Freeform!
The Freeform series revealed the date and a new trailer at the 2020 Winter TCA Press Tour held at The Langham Huntington, Pasadena on Friday (January 17) in Pasadena, Calif.

Here’s the synopsis: “Set in an alternate, present-day America where witches ended their persecution 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the burgeoning U.S. government to fight for their country, Motherland: Fort Salem follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into terrifying and thrilling
early deployment. In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped, with women on
the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are strikingly familiar to our world, but with
supernatural tactics and weapons.”
At the event, Nicole said about creator Eliot Laurence (via Deadline), โHe has the world in his head.” Demetria added, โTo understand the power women possess and to have a man (Laurence) understand that, itโs been a joy, an honor and a pleasure.โ
