'Salem' season 2 spoilers: character coming back from beyond the grave? Anne bigger threat than Mercy

(WGN America/official Facebook page)Airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. on WGN America

"Salem" opened to a bone-chilling season two as viewers watched John Alden vow to kill every witch in Salem, Anne making an unlikely alliance with Mary and Mercy and her troupe slaying the elders. With a shocking season premiere, what can fans expect from the show moving forward?

Hollywood Life exclusively spoke with the cast to get spoilers for season two and some of them sound extremely interesting. Actor Shane West confirms that John Alden will take Mary Sibley down, but can he really go through with it once he sees her. More importantly, can he take her down once he knows he has a son? West teased, "I don't know if Alden can necessarily, I don't know if he'll be able to do it once he finally sees her again. And once Alden finds out about their son I'm sure things get, change what he's feeling dramatically."

According to TVGuide's official synopsis for episode two, Alden returns to Salem while Mary initiates the second act of the Grand Rite. Speculations suggest that she will now be introduced to Lucy Lawless' character Countess Marburg who is also eternally youthful.

Tazmin Merchant and Janet Montgomery also revealed that Anne will be a bigger threat to Mary than Mercy. While it seemed like they are allies now, that may not be so the rest of the season. Merchant reveals that Anne wants to live an upright and honest life but Janet mused that Mercy will never be as powerful as Anne who is a blood witch.

Perhaps what may shock viewers the most is that Mercy and Isaac form an unlikely alliance. They may even hook up. Mary will also fall for Dr. Wainwright who is interesting and slightly perverted. But Janet provided the most shocking spoiler of the season, "There is a return of a character — that's all I am going to say!"

Could it be Increase Mather? Or Anne's parents? Watch "Salem" on Sundays at 10 p.m. on WGN America.
