Storyline:
Set in 1953, THEM: Covenant follows a black family who move from North Carolina to an all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles during the Second Great Migration. The family’s idyllic home slowly transforms into an epicenter of evil forces, next-door and otherworldly, that threaten to haunt, ravage and destroy them.
Set in 1991, THEM: The Scare centers on LAPD Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: a gruesome murder that has left the most hardened detectives shaken. As Dawn draws closer to the truth, something malevolent grips her and her family.
About Them TV Series:
Them is an American black horror anthology series, created by Little Marvin and executive produced by Lena Waithe. The series stars Deborah Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Alison Pill, and Ryan Kwanten and premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 9, 2021. A second season, titled Them: The Scare, with Ayorinde returning in a new role, premiered on April 25, 2024.
The first season received mixed reviews primarily for the handling of the series’ subject matter, which was criticized as exploitative and unnecessarily graphic. However the screenplay, production values, and the performances of Ayorinde, Thomas, and Wright Joseph received widespread acclaim.
On July 28, 2018, Amazon gave the project a two-season order. The series was created by Little Marvin, who also wrote the script for the first season and was set to executive produce the show alongside Lena Waithe under their overall deals with Amazon Studios.
The series began production on July 8, 2019, with filming taking place between Atlanta and Los Angeles. The set for the neighborhood was built on a lot in Pomona, California.
