Prime Video released the first photos from season two of the horror anthology series THEM. Season one, THEM: The Covenant, premiered in April 2021, and season two, THEM: The Scare, will debut with the release of all eight episodes on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
“With THEM: The Scare, we wanted to combine our love of horror with a look at Los Angeles’s rich history and evolution,” stated creator, executive producer, and showrunner Little Marvin. “This second installment is a new story set in the ’90s, one of the most iconic decades for film, music, and fashion, particularly in Los Angeles. I’m also excited about our amazing cast: Deborah Ayorinde returns as a completely new character, Luke James delivers an unforgettable performance, and the legendary Pam Grier, who has played so many iconic and beloved roles on screen, makes her return to horror…. We couldn’t have asked for a more fearless group to lead this second installment.”
Deborah Ayorinde stars as Detective Dawn Reeve, Pam Grier plays Athena, and Grammy-nominee Luke James is Edmund Gaines. The season two cast also includes Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now), Charles Brice (Homeland), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi).
Executive producers include Steve Prinz and Vertigo Entertainment’s Miri Yoon and Roy Lee.
“THEM will once again be set in Los Angeles (the first installment, subtitled Covenant, took place in Compton circa 1952 but will move the time frame forward to 1991). The story centers on LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: the gruesome murder of a foster home mother that has left even the most hardened detectives shaken,” reads Prime Video’s official synopsis. “Navigating a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, with a city on the razor’s edge of chaos, Dawn is determined to stop the killer. But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family…”
