‘Salem’ Sneak Peek: There’s Not a Soul Alive Who Can Stop the Devil

Salem is having a devil of a time in Season 3.

The WGN America drama returns on Nov. 2, and as co-creator Adam Simon teases in this exclusive sneak peek, “Nothing is quite as it was anymore.

“The center of Salem is a charred ruin. Many things have changed, the most important of which is the devil is here,” Simon said.

Ah yes, the devil, incarnated in the body of a little boy. And he is hellbent on wreaking havoc on earth. “There’s not a soul alive who can stop me,” he says wickedly.

There might be a soul not currently alive who can, though — his mother, Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery). But can she be brought back from the dead? And will she have the power to stop her son?

Meanwhile, the stakes grow even higher for the other denizens of Salem, like Capt. John Alden. As Shane West explains, “Alden comes into Season 3 completely different. He’s putting together this militia and protecting the town from the French, from the Indians, as well as witches.”

This season introduces a barber/surgeon named Thomas Dinley, played by goth rocker Marilyn Manson. The character is “somewhere between a really bad hairstylist and someone who guts people… . I take great pleasure in torment,” Manson says with glee.
