The "normal" suburban life for a group of close-knit housewives takes a dark turn when one of their closest friends Victoria Murray murders her husband and commits suicide afterward.

But here comes the twist, every full moon something strange happens in Dreary lane and people whisper about how strange Victoria's suicide was and her husband's murder but what they don't know is that Victoria had been experimenting with witchcraft and her husband had some enemies that also belonged to a secret circle of mystical creatures that murdered him and his wife and framed her.

NUMBER FOUR
CAROLINE ROONEY, 38
Portrayed by: Jessica Chastain
Birthplace: Probably somewhere in Michigan

Likes: Italian food, wine (particularly rose), baking, mom jeans, spending time with her daughter, looking after people, romantic comedies, comfortable shoes, going shopping with her daughter, cozy sweaters, chocolate chip ice-cream, Instagram, brunch.
Dislikes: making a complete fool of herself, high heels, her ex-husband from time to time, people not telling her things, the fear of failing as a parent, arguing with her sisters, horror movies, sour candy.

Personality traits [list 5]: A bit of an air-head, incredibly clumsy and prone to embarrassing herself. Selfless and nurturing, always the one that offers help and to lend a shoulder to cry on. Not the brightest, but very hard-working and ambitious. A hopeless romantic, but also a terrible flirt. Creative, curious and open-minded. For some strange reason, always manages to give a good advice.

Occupation/Qualifications before marriage: Attended Jacksonville University where she graduated with a degree in nursing. Volunteered in several hospitals during her studies and eventually worked as an ER nurse.

Family :

• Miranda Rooney, mother (fc: tbd)
• George Rooney, father (fc: tbd)
• Claire Hastings, older sister (fc: Nicole Kidman)
• Samantha Rogers, younger sister (fc: Bryce Dallas-Howard)
• Ella Thompson, daughter (fc: Sophia Lillies)

Others:

• Hank Nowak, neighbor/love interest (fc: Chris Pine)
• Phillip Thompson, ex-husband (fc: Ethan Hawke)
• Patricia Everett, best friend (fc: tbd)

Secret: Despite continuously claiming that things between her and her ex-husband have been over the two occasionally hook-up, especially when he's in town visiting their daughter. Things get a bit complicated during their last hook-up - mainly because he's started dating a very good friend of hers and has somehow forgotten to mention it.

Biography:

• Born in a middle-class working family. Her father worked in retail and her mother was a middle school math teacher. Has two sisters, Claire - a software engineer and Samantha a former television personality turned trophy wife.
• Had the most regular childhood, got along with her sisters, but was always closer to Samantha due to their closeness in age. Claire, who was eight years older than Caroline didn't show interest in spending time with her sisters until later on.
• Caroline's career goals and ambitions changed constantly. At one point in her life she wanted to be a teacher just like her mother, but quickly abandoned the idea due to her lack of authority. After years of volunteering with her hometown's red cross, Caroline decided to become a nurse and help those in need.
• Not the brightest star in the solar sister, at least according to her mother, Caroline struggled with her studies, but despite all of it she was known for being an incredibly hard worker and passionate when it came to her education even though she sometimes lacked certain skills.
• Attended Jacksonville University where she obtained her degree in nursing. It was there where she met her now ex-husband Phillip. They were friends at first, but later began dating. Their relationship didn't last long though, as Phillip got a job all the way to New York City, forcing him to move. He begged Caroline to come with him, but she stayed in order to finish her studies. They would meet two years later and marry almost immediately.
• It's only now, that Caroline realizes her marriage with Phillip was rushed. Yes, they were in love, but they were also young and stupid and in desperate need to show their families that they are grown ups. Not long after their wedding the two were expecting their first child together - a girl they would later name after Caroline's beloved grandmother.
• Their marriage would eventually suffer a few bumps in the road. Phillip had all sorts of ideas about how the perfect marriage is supposed to be due to the fact that he was raised in an incredibly traditional household. And despite being raised otherwise, Caroline for the sake of saving her marriage, agreed to quit her job and become a stay at home mom.
• In her free time, she took up painting, attended yoga and befriended fellow stay at home moms, who for some reason were all much more younger than she was and married to men old enough to be their fathers. And yet, despite the fact that she was older, the girls often acted as if they were ten years her senior - often offering unsolicited advice and taking her to impromptu shopping trips.
• Caroline isn't going to sugarcoat the reason why she and Phillip got divorced. He cheated. Multiple times with multiple women despite claiming to be still madly in love with her. His action put a rift in his relationship with their daughter Ella, who still finds a hard time to forgive him even two years later.
• Immediately after the divorce, Caroline packed all her and her daughter's things and moved away to the suburbs - she has always wanted to raise a family someplace quiet, but her ex-husband's ambitions restrained her. For the first time in a long time, she finally feels liberated and in complete control of herself. Yes, she sometimes misses Phillip, but she missed being able to do whatever she wanted even more.
• She has been living in Dreary Lane for almost two years now. Her ex-husband has moved in a city close to the suburbs so he can spend more time with their daughter and it's funny what a divorce and speaking your mind can do to a man. Phillip is slightly changed - he's much more timid and patient with Caroline to the point where he's sprouting nonsense about them getting back together and becoming a real family again.
• If it wasn't for the misery he had put her through and the handsome neighbor next door, Caroline would've considered Phillip's offer, but for now she's busy trying to not make a complete fool of herself whenever in the presence of Hank Nowak.

[ Number 8 ]
Onajite Metharom, 29
Portrayed by: Adesuwa Aighewi
Birthplace: Salem, MA

Likes: her son, clothes that show off her tattoos, winning debates, the smell of burning incense, her personal space, gardening (particularly her succulent collection), nineties hip-hop and R&B, rainstorms, getting new piercings, new books, teaching Des her family’s not-so-magical practices, snack foods, finding new pieces for her shop, dark lipsticks, typing without capitals, sorcery (she really misses it), the new moon, her cheekbones, lazy days in bed
Dislikes: white wine, making people repeat themselves, being stared at/watched, the current state of politics, social media, microaggressions in her field of study/work, people that chew with their mouth open, geese, being left on read, commercials, running late/people who are late, nightmares, the distance between herself and her family, cold showers, younger kids that are taller than her, loneliness, watching the same episodes more than once, messy rooms

Personality traits: Ona is a study in opposites. She can come off as friendly and engaging - particularly with her customers. It’s only after they leave that they realize they didn’t learn a single thing about her outside of her name. She’ll insult a person right to their face, but only make it hurt if she wants it to (and rest assured it will only be under circumstances where she has the upper hand). That carefree attitude is just a mask; Ona is always thinking a million things at once and watching everything around herself carefully. Watching her back. Sometimes she still trips up and appears distracted, but maybe that’s just a front too.

Occupation/Qualifications before marriage: Majored in art history in undergrad, then got her MFA in museum management. She was working in auction houses and planning to work her way up to museums before everything happened. Now she owns an antique store, appraising all the pieces herself.

Family/Cast:
— Somchai Metharom | father, 51 | Tony Jaa
— Kamharida Metharom [née Okorie] | mother, 53 | Waris Dirie
— Anaborhi Metharom | sister, 24 | Naomi Chin-Wing
— Desmond Sullivan | son, 4 | n/a
— Evander Sullivan | former husband, deceased | Benjamin Jarvis
— Santiago Faustino | ugh, 31 | Diego Luna

Secret: Well, there’s her magic, the nature of her former husband’s death, the reason she had to leave Chicago…Hell, Ona’s just an enigma.

Biography:
— Born September 29th, 1988 to Somchai and Kamharida Metharom. Both her parents came from families steeped in sorcery going back generations. They met when Somchai moved to Salem after hearing about the large magical population there. The couple was married in a handfasting ceremony on the Autumnal Equinox. Ona was born two years later. Her sister, Ana, was a happy surprise birth eight years later.
— Ona grew up surrounded by magic. It was in her home, in her school, and in the homes of her friends. Magic wasn’t meant to be overt anyway. Sorcery was considered more of a practical thing - a tool for everyday tasks, as well as a set of traditions and beliefs. Of course, not everyone in the city practiced sorcery; it just happened that her parents knew other magical families, and so Ona made friends with their children. However, she hasn’t spoken to any of them in years.
— After graduating in the top ten of her class, Ona went to Boston University. While she originally planned to study anthropology, she switched her focus to art history sophomore year. Her goal became museum curation, particularly curation of African art. For her masters, Ona went to Indiana University to study art management.
— It was at IU that Ona met another magic practitioner for the first time since leaving for college. His name was Evander Sullivan and they happened to cross paths on campus quite often. At first, Ona couldn’t stand him. By the end of the year, they were inseparable.
— Through dating Evan, Ona came to learn more about magic than what she was exposed to growing up…For better or worse. The pair were engaged soon after graduating. However, things quickly turned rocky once they moved in together in Chicago. For both of their sakes, the two made a pact to give up all sorcery practices.
— When they learned Ona and Evan planned to forgo the traditional handfasting ceremony - much less magic altogether - Ona’s parents refused to attend the wedding. With Evan not on speaking terms with most of his family, the two just had a civil ceremony at City Hall and went out for drinks later with a couple of their closest friends.
— Things were flourishing for the young couple. Ona was employed at a local auction house as an art appraiser while Evan found a job at a large bank. Within the year of their marriage, Ona found out she was pregnant. They couldn’t have been happier. That is, until she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Desmond, and the love in their house multiplied to seemingly infinite levels.
— The happiness did not last. Shortly after Des turned one, Evan started to withdraw. Before Ona could confront him about it, the unthinkable happened; Evan died. An aneurysm, the doctors said. Ona should’ve known better than to believe them.
— For the last two years, Ona lived in Chicago as a single mom, working her way up the auction house department. With Evan gone, she began to incorporate magical practices in along with teaching Des about animals and expressions. She still doesn’t practice active magic, out of respect for Evan and the pact she made with him, but there are other traditions she wants to raise Des with.
— A few months ago, something happened. No one knows what, but it couldn’t have been anything good. Because one night she was in Chicago and the next, she was…gone.
— Ona next resurfaced in Dreary Lane. Despite the neighborhood being so nice, the house was surprisingly affordable. It’s not that Ona doesn’t know why (a murder-suicide happening on the premises tends to lower retail value), but she doesn’t really mind. Dreary Lane seems like a good place to raise a young son away from, well, everything. Doesn’t seem like a bad place to disappear, either.
— Treasures of Time, Ona’s antique store, just opened on the former Murray’s other Dreary Lane property. It’s filled with things Ona’s collected over the years working for galleries and auction houses. There’s also a lot in there that she was given after Evan passed. She can’t bear to part with the things he left her, but she can’t live in a house filled with his memory either. They’re mostly there for display.
— New to the neighborhood and not terribly outgoing. Hasn’t dated since she lost Evan and doesn’t plan to start any time soon. Doesn’t want to involve herself in Victoria’s death, though it just might involve her.

Biography:

~ The epitome of middle child syndrome, Adeline pretty much fended for herself as her parents attention was split between her older brother and younger sister.

~ Years of Ballet being the only club at the same time as her brother’s left Adeline with incredible skills and won her a place high on the popularity chain in High School

~ Her immense talents in the dance along with her mastery of foreign languages easily made it very easy for her to be popular in her private secondary school. While Adeline was still considered new money as it was her grandparents that made the family fortune, her popularity got her invited to all of the weekend teas.

~ However throughout her summers Adeline babysat three nights a week after working in a summer program for children. By the time she started Year 12 of school she bought herself a used car that was nicknamed Baby among her inner circle.

~ It was Baby that she drove to University alone on her first day. Her parents were much to busy being surgeons or hosting a charity event to bring her. Most surprisingly enough, it was her older brother, attending the same university, who met her at her dorm

~ Adeline quickly majored in Biology and remained close with her High School friends while still creating a new niche. It was at a polo match with on of her new friends that she met her first long term boyfriend. Brandon was wealthy but not overly so, Charming but not leery, and above all, he appeared to be the perfect gentleman.

~ Their relationship started quickly and progressed much the same way. After less then a year of dating Adeline had met most of his family and vice versa. By the end of their Senior year they were living together full time and were going on vacation together.

~ After only three days on a cruise Adeline walked in on Brandon fooling around with a waitress who he proceeded to dump her for. In what could only be sympathy from customer service, Adeline was set up in a gorgeous room which would be partially charged to Brandon.

~ The next day found Adeline at a bar for most of it. The bartender did nothing more then occasionally refill her drink and give her a wide berth. She was left alone for most of the day until a new patron to the bar made the decision to approach her.

~ He introduced himself as Andrew Cooper and despite the rawness of her breakup, Adeline was nevertheless attracted. They spent the entire night talking on the open balcony of the boat and proceeded to spend the remainder of the next two weeks the same way.

~ When it came time to part they exchanged numbers and very quickly met up. Adeline moved in with him after a month and she proceeded to begin her graduate school education. Only a month after that Andrew told her he was going back to America and wanted her to go with him. AS his Wife.

~ In the easiest decision she had ever made, Adeline agreed to elope with Andrew. She told her parents she was transferring to an American program, in need of a change and they barely blinked before agreeing. Within the month they married and have spent the last month and a half settling into Dreary Lane
