The official trailer for Prime Video’s Them season two, Them: The Scare, reveals the anthology series’ new setting and characters. Season one’s Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) returns as a brand new character, starring as an LA detective hunting for a killer.
Joining Ayorinde in the second season are Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) as Athena and Grammy-nominated musician Luke James (The Chi) as Edmund Gaines. 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) also star.
“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 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…”
Little Marvin created the series and serves as the showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Steve Prinz and Vertigo Entertainment’s Miri Yoon and Roy Lee.
Season two premieres on Thursday, April 25, 2024 with the release of all eight episodes.
