TUNE-IN FOR AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF WGN AMERICA’S BREAKOUT HIT SERIES

‘SALEM’ AIRING SUNDAY, APRIL 12 AT 10:00 PM ET/9:00 PM CT 

(L-R) Ashley Madekwe as Tituba and Tamzin Merchant as Anne Hale

Tune in for an all-new episode of WGN America’s breakout hit supernatural thriller “Salem” this SUNDAY, April 12 at 10:00 pm ET / 9:00 pm CT.  In “Blood Kiss,” written by creators Brannon Braga (“Cosmos,” “24”) and Adam Simon (“The Haunting in Connecticut”) and directed by Allan Arkush, Mary, infuriated by Mercy’s defiance, initiates the second phase of the Grand Rite by rallying the citizenry of Salem to retaliate against her former protégé’s brutal act of violence with a startling message of their own.  Dr. Wainwright’s search for clues to cure the plague creates concern for the Selectmen – and, for additional reasons, Mary and Tituba.  Meanwhile, John Alden prepares for an epic confrontation still to come, and has a telling encounter with an unexpected ally; Mary’s son begins to show another, unsettling side of his nature; the Countess gains some key information; and Anne Hale – ripe with her new and as-of-yet uncontrollable powers – embarks on an unforeseen journey… but discovers more than she bargained for.

Season two of “Salem” returns with 13 episodes at the dawn of a Witch War, and the town’s ruthless leading witch, Mary Sibley, has just completed a legendary supernatural ritual that unleashed a devastating plague on the unsuspecting citizens of Salem.  As death and disease continue to spread through the war-torn village, Mary must face off against adversaries old and new, from within Salem and beyond, who are vying for her throne.

From creators and writers Brannon Braga and Adam Simon, “Salem” is a gripping one-hour supernatural drama that boldly re-imagines the infamous 17^th century witch trials in colonial Massachusetts in a world where witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem.  The series stars Janet Montgomery (“Human Target,” “Made in Jersey”), Shane West (“Nikita,” “ER”), Seth Gabel (“Arrow,” “Fringe”), Ashley Madekwe (“Revenge”), Tamzin Merchant (“Jane Eyre”), Elise Eberle (“The Astronaut Farmer”) and Iddo Goldberg (“Mob City”).  New to the cast of “Salem” for season two are Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”, “Spartacus”), Stuart Townsend (“Betrayal,” “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”), Joe Doyle (“Raw”) and Oliver Bell (“The Saint”).

Guest starring in “Blood Kiss” are Michael Mulheren as George Sibley, Christopher Berry as Petrus, Sammi Hanratty as Dollie, Jeremy Crutchley as Hathorne, Henri Lubatti as Thomas Eliot, Thomas Francis Murphy as Rev. Lewis, Raoul Trujillo as the Shaman and Cara Santana as Sooleawa,

“Salem” is executive produced by Brannon Braga, Adam Simon, Josh Barry, Jeff Kwatinez, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson.  Nick Copus directs and serves as co-executive producer.  Filmed on location in Shreveport, Louisiana, the series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios.
