Marilyn Manson is set to star in the new season of WGN America's Salem, playing Thomas Dinley, "a barber and surgeon who is the go-to man in Salem for everything from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up."
The trailer is accompanied by this description:
The third season of "Salem" dawns with the triumph of the witches' plan to remake the New World by bringing the devil to earth and making Salem his capital. But the devil is a liar, and instead of a New World free from murderous Puritan hypocrisy, his own plan will bring nothing but death and slavery with the ultimate aim of leading humanity to destroy itself. And there's only one person on earth who can beat the devil — the very witch that birthed him, his mother, Mary Sibley. The only problem is — she's dead. Or is she?
