Motherland: Fort Salem follows Raelle Collar, Abigail Bellweather, and Tally Craven, three witches who accept conscription into the U.S. Army. They train in combat magic and use their vocal cords to enact "seeds" or "seed sounds", layering vocal sounds to create powerful spells. The series takes place in a women-dominated world in which the U.S. ended the persecution of witches 300 years ago during the Salem witch trials after an agreement known as the Salem Accord.[5] The world finds itself at odds with a terrorist organization known as the Spree, a witch resistance group fighting against the conscription of witches.

  • Taylor Hickson as Raelle Collar,[6] a witch from a minor witch family line who enlists at Fort Salem, but who shows a surprising potential for work. Her mother was killed in combat while her father is revealed to be a civilian, something deeply frowned upon.
  • Amalia Holm as Scylla,[6][7] a second-year cadet at Fort Salem whom Raelle falls for, but who is evasive about her past. It is later revealed her surname is Ramshorn.[8] Her parents were killed for being dodgers, an illegal act of avoiding military conscription.
  • Demetria McKinney as Anacostia Quartermaine,[6] a tough drill sergeant at Fort Salem[9]
  • Jessica Sutton as Tally Craven,[6] a witch who enthusiastically enlists at Fort Salem despite her mother's opposition due to all of Tally's aunts being previously killed in action
  • Ashley Nicole Williams as Abigail Bellweather,[6] a proud enlistee at Fort Salem from the storied Bellweather witch family line
  • Lyne Renée as Sarah Alder[6][9] (seasons 2–3; recurring season 1[a]), the commanding general of the United States' witch armed forces and the leader of Fort Salem. She is hundreds of years old, having negotiated the Salem Accords 300 years ago, but appears to be a woman in her 40s in the present day.
  • Catherine Lough Haggquist as Petra Bellweather, an ambitious, proud, by-the-book general in the U.S. armed forces as chief intelligence officer and Abigail's mother
  • Diana Pavlovska as Willa Collar, Raelle's mother who was reportedly killed in combat before Raelle enlisted
  • Hrothgar Mathews as Edwin Collar, Raelle's father
  • Annie Jacob as Glory Moffett (season 1),[6] a meek enlistee at Fort Salem and a friend of Tally's
  • Sarah Yarkin as Libba Swythe (season 1),[6][10] a pugnacious enlistee at Fort Salem whose family has a long-standing feud with the Bellweathers
  • Sheryl Lee Ralph as Kelly Wade, the United States president and civilian head of the U.S. government, and thus Alder's superior; she and Alder clash over tactics and military operations.
  • Kai Bradbury as Gerit Buttonwood (season 1),[6][11] a young male witch who visits Fort Salem and soon catches Tally's attention
  • Emilie Leclerc as Izadora, a scientist, Necro teacher, and officer at Fort Salem
  • Tony Giroux as Adil, a member of the nomadic tribe of witches known as the Tarim, who brings his sister Khalida to Fort Salem for treatment when she becomes mortally ill from an infection
  • Kylee Brown as Khalida, a member of the nomadic Tarim tribe and Adil's younger sister who is brought to Fort Salem for treatment of an unknown infection that threatens her life
  • Victor Webster as Blanton Silver (seasons 2–3),[12] the vice president of the United States of America
  • Arlen Aguayo-Stewart as Nicte Batan (seasons 2–3),[12] who is a witch sergeant from Alder's past, and who has a surprising connection to events in the present. Various actresses have played Nicte when she is magically disguised, including Kandyse McClure in the third season.[13]
  • Mellany Barros as Penelope Silver (seasons 2–3),[12] Vice President Blanton Silver's daughter, who is recently discovered to be a witch
  • Ess Hödlmoser as M (seasons 2–3),[12] a coven leader / sergeant at War College who undertakes the next level of training for Raelle, Tally and Abigail.

  • Bob Frazer as Alban Hearst (seasons 2–3), a high-ranking member of the Camarilla
  • Sandra Ferens as Quinn (seasons 2–3), a friend of Willa Collar's from the army, and Raelle's godmother, who lives in the Cession
  • Liza Huget as Minerva Bellweather (seasons 2–3), the formidable mother of Petra Bellweather, and Abigail's grandmother
  • Luc Roderique as Sterling Woodlot (seasons 2–3), a member of VP Silver's staff and friend and former lover of Anacostia's
