The first official teaser for Freeform’s new series, Motherland: Fort Salem is out.

The one-hour drama was just greenlit for a 10-episode series, which is set in an alternate version of America, where witches have agreed to fight for the U.S. in exchange for an end to their persecution. And no, you did not misread any part of that sentence.

Motherland: Fort Salem will follow 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, the fight looming and terrorist threats that are strikingly familiar to our world, but with supernatural tactics and weapons.

Taylor Hickson is Raelle, a recruit with “major authority issues”; Jessica Sutton is Tally, who joins the fight “despite her mother’s passionate disapproval”; Amalia Holm is Scylla, a suspicious recruit who is “not what she appears to be”; and Demetria McKinney is Anacostia, a “tough but wryly humorous” drill sergeant.
