The third season of the gory, yet sexy, horror series that reimagines Salem is currently in development in Shreveport, L.A. Based on the released teaser for its third season, the witches of Salem succeed in their plan of bringing the devil to earth so that Salem can be his stronghold, and the New World can be remade. However, with how treacherous the devil is, instead of having a New World, he will cause chaos that will fulfill his aim of humanity destroying itself.

"Salem" season three features Janet Montgomery as Mary Sibley, Shane West as Captain John Alden, Seth Gabel as Cotton Mather, Ashley Madekwe as Tituba, Tamzin Merchant as Anne Hale, Elise Eberle as Mercy Lewis, Iddo Goldberg as Isaac Walton, Joe Doyle as Baron Sebastian Marburg, and Oliver Bell as Mary's son. Marilyn Manson guest stars as Thomas Dinley.
"Salem" is executive produced by Brannon Braga, Adam Simon, Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, Jeff Kwatinetz and Josh Barry.
Created and written by Braga and Simon, "Salem" is set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts and digs in to the historic past, aiming at unearthing the whys and how's of the town's infamous reputation as a cradle of witches back then.
"'Salem' explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. In Salem, witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem," goes WGN's description of the series as reported by IMDB.
