SETH GABEL JOINS 'SALEM'
17TH CENTURY NEW SERIES
Only last week I informed you that WGN is preparing their first scripted series, historical drama SALEM, and that Ashley Madekwe will play one of the witches in it, and now 'Deadline 'reports that Seth Gabel has also joined the show playing Cotton Mather, a local aristocrat who makes it his business to oversee the witch hunts in Salem. Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, the story will explore what really fuelled the town’s infamous witch trials uncovering the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. The show, which centres on an epic romance, is said to deliver a new vision of witches who are real though they are not who or what they seem.

GETS AN EXCITING NEW TRAILER!
After yesterday's trailer for the second season of DA VINCI'S DEMONS, here is a new trailer for an epic show which will air before it starting this January at Starz: BLACK SAILS, which was renewed for a second season almost half a year before the first one even starts to air! The pirate action adventure will star Toby Stephens and MERLIN knight Tom Hopper, chronicling the adventures of fabled buccaneer Captain Flint! Toby Stephens plays Captain Flint, while Tom Hopper will play Billy Bones, the first mate of The Walrus who is caught in the middle of the power struggle between Flint and his main dissenter Singleton! Threatened with extinction on all sides, the pirates fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality. Jessica Parker Kennedy, Hannah New, Luke Arnold and Zach McGowan are on board too!
