Ashley Nicole Williams, Taylor Hickson & Jessica Sutton On Freeform's 'Motherland: Fort Salem'

Created by Eliot Laurence, Freeform's "Motherland: Fort Salem" is set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country. In this world, the roles of gender and power are flipped, the terrorist threats that are strikingly familiar to our world, but with supernatural tactics and weapons. Stars Ashley Nicole Williams, Taylor Hickson and Jessica Sutton visited BUILD.

This show is so underrated. It has an original concept, it's action packed, the graphics are beautiful, the cast are ethnically diverse, the actresses have chemistry with each other. Why aren't they getting higher ratings? it doesn't make sense.

Casts = Amazing
Cinematography = Great

Did this break my heart at the end of season 1? Yes

I don't think the show will get 6 seasons but I do think it will get more than just the one, personally, I'm loving it.

[ethylenramos]

I just finished all 3 seasons last night.. It was good.. I loved the show.

Ashley: “They’ll have time” .... The world shuts down for quarantine.... Me: oh, I should totally watch Motherland (bc i honestly wasn’t planning to) since I have to stay home. End of story, NO REGRETS!!! Excellent show and I love these 3 ladies (and the 3 missing).

[amymshen]

Love love Taylor’s thoughtful character analyses— similar to her character, who’s so considerate and wholesome

[mathru]

Wow. What Jessica said about Raelle being the mind, Abigail being the body and Tally being the heart is so relevant and smart. I love this.
Also it's both cute and kind of sad that Taylor was blown away by the fact that they were witch trials in Europe. Honey, there were witch trials on a much larger scale than Salem in Europe before Europeans even came to America (the peak was around the 1400s). The witch figure was born in Europe by the Christian Church to create easy scapegoats.

this show is really precious I hope it gets renewed

[emmas]

Taylor Hickson at 24:05: "As long as you keep pointing out differences, there are always going to be differences!"
Well said.

[Adykayful]

Very excited for this show! I've never really seen a show quite like this before.

[slat]

Very interested to watch this show. I like the concept. I hope the storylines are interesting.

Loved this interview!

I actually stumbled upon a tumblr post mentioning the show the other day and decided to watch the first episode since I had nothing else to do. I ended up binge watching the entire first season that same day. Yes, all 10 episodes. Love the story line, the characters, the setting, the effects, etc. Also; there is a F/F main couple, so it's a win for the gays!

10/10 recommended

[jax]

just binge watched 10 episodes and my gosh this show is brilliant.

[thezenanna]

12:28 Just came back from episode 10 oh my goddess I finally really know what they're feeling...

[skylark]

Hey #freeform @freeform why aren't you doing live panel interviews with the cast?
They've started season 3.. its a brilliant show so please renew for at least 3 more seasons.. the fans deserve to watch Eliots story come to life..

[audreygould]

I love these women and this show more than I can say. They are awesome. And now I'm terrified for episode 10 I'm so stressed now.

[ekaterina]

OMG! I have just finished the 10th episode and it's amazing 🤩 I love Motherland, I love the story, I love the girls and I just can't wait for the second season. Definitely recommended👍🏻
