Freeform Developing Military Fantasy Drama

Freeform is currently developing a brand new drama series entitled, Motherland. The show would be executive produced by Adam McKay, Will Ferrell and Kevin Messick, while the pilot script is being written by Eliot Laurence.

Deadline is reporting, “Motherland is described as an epic military fantasy set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country. The project is set in contemporary times where young women conscript at 18 and receive basic training in combat magic at a base called Fort Salem.

The show follows three young women from basic into early deployment. In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped. Women are on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world, but their tactics and weapons are supernatural.”

Sounds like a good idea for a show, now lets see if they can get it off the ground and green lighted by Freeform. Based on the synopsis of the show would you watch it?
