Cast of Salem at SXSW

AUSTIN, Texas (WITI) -- WGN America presented a ‘witches playground’ at SXSW’s Film Opening Party this weekend. It celebrated the innovative festival and the upcoming season two of the national cable network’s provocative, supernatural thriller, “Salem.”

The “Salem” at SXSW celebration was complete with soothsayers, levitating enchantresses, apothecaries, and “Salem” stars. Learn more about this event at Variety.com.

"Salem" is a one-hour drama that re-imagines the infamous 17th century witch trials in colonial Massachusetts.

"Salem" stars Janet Montgomery ("Made in Jersey," "Human Target"), Shane West ("Nikita," "ER") and Lucy Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess," "Spartacus") were on hand at the "Salem" at SXSW celebration.
