Crown Media Victor Webster
Hallmark star Victor Webster is branching out and starring in a new TV series. The catch is that this series isn’t airing on The Hallmark Network. It’s a very different genre than the romantic movies that Hallmark fans are familiar with.
Webster Is Starring in a Supernatural Drama
Webster’s new TV series is a supernatural drama called “Motherland: Fort Salem.” He’s playing a character named Blanton Silver, whose daughter is a witch. Deadline reported that his character is trying to adjust to his daughter’s identity during the second season.
He told KTLA 5 about his character:
Well, Blanton Silver is the Vice President of the United States. And he’s working with the government in dealing with all the witches and the witchery stuff that happens. I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ve got to be very careful about what I say and I don’t say. So I’m going to be a little vague. …
When asked if being on the show makes him more open to the supernatural, he said: “I there’s definitely some things we don’t understand out there, for sure. I think the way they do this show, it makes it very fun for your imagination to kind of roam and see what could be possible. And they do such a fantastic job with the special effects and all that stuff… Yeah, it’s possible.”
The series is about witches who enlisted in the Army in order to avoid execution. The second season, which Webster is first appearing in, will be 10 episodes long, Newsweek reported.
The series airs on Freeform first on Tuesday evenings at 10 p.m. Eastern, and then new episodes are released the next day on Hulu.

Webster recently got engaged to Shantel VanSanten.

Been an amazing journey so far, only gonna get better. Now you’re stuck with me. Love you ❤️”
