WGNA’s ‘Salem’ Adds Elise Eberle, MTV’s ‘Awkward’ Ups Greer Grammer To Regular

Elise Eberle (Tiger Eyes) has been cast as a regular in WGN America’s drama series Salem. Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, it explores what really fueled the town’s infamous witch trials and centers on Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery), the beautiful, ruthless but vulnerable wife of an ancient, ailing but very wealthy Salem town Selectman. Eberle, repped by Abrams Artists and managers Margrit Polak & Micki Caruso, will play Mercy Lewis, Reverend Lewis’ powerful and vulnerable daughter who is believed to be possessed.

Greer Grammer, who has recurred on the first three seasons of MTV’s flagship comedy series Awkward as Lissa, a naïve but sweet member of Sadie’s (Molly Tarlov) posse, has been upped to series regular for Season 4. Greer, repped by APA, Strategic Talent Group and Lev Ginsburg, will next be seen in the dark comedy feature Chastity Bites.
