In our review of the first season Neil said “with bold storytelling and an unabashedly strong vision, Them is a tantalising anthology series up there with American Horror Story”.
“With THEM: The Scare, we wanted to combine our love of horror with a look at Los Angeles’s rich history and evolution,” says creator, executive producer and showrunner Little Marvin. “This second installment is a new story set in the 90’s, 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.”
Them: The Scare stars Deborah Ayorinde (Riches) as Detective Dawn Reeve, Pam Grier (Foxy Brown) as Athena, Grammy-nominated musician and actor Luke James (The Chi) as Edmund Gaines. Also starring are Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger), Jeremy Bobb (God’s Country), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now), Charles Brice (Watchmen), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi).
