Summary

  • Them Season 2 premieres on April 25, 2024, titled "The Scare", set in the 1990s.
  • Debby Ayorinde returns as LAPD Detective Dawn Reeve, with new cast additions like Pam Grier.
  • Season 2 story moves on from the Emorys to a new horror tale in the 1990s, focusing on a gruesome murder investigation.

Them season 2 is officially on the way, and here's everything currently known about the new anthology series. Them premiered its first season, Covenant, on Amazon Prime in April 2021, and the story follows the Emory family as they move from North Carolina to an all-white neighborhood in Compton, CA, in the 1950s. Over the next ten days, the Emorys are plagued by horrors from their racist white neighbors and the apparitions in their new home.

Series creator Little Marvin drew upon the history of the post-war 1950s and the Great Migration in the United States to set the stage for the Emorys’ house of horrors. Them’s incredible cast, including Deborah Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Alison Pill, and Shahadi Wright Joseph, bring the characters of the Compton neighborhood to life. While the story of the Emorys wrapped up at the end of season 1, there’s more in store for Them season 2, even though the story itself won't follow the same path. Here are the details so far.

What Happens In Season 2?

Melody Hurd as Gracie Emory in Them

Them season 1 ended the saga of the Emorys, so season two will move on to a new story with new characters. Jumping ahead several decades, Them season 2 will take place in the 1990s and follows LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve (Ayorinde) as she investigates the gruesome murder of a foster parent. Few details have been revealed, and that is likely to keep the suspense up for the new season. It is unclear if the horror elements from season 1 will connect with season 2's more grounded premise.

Ahead of the show's April premiere, Prime Video has released a full-length trailer that is sure to scare up interest in the series' return. The three-minute trailer introduces Debby Ayorinde's new character, a homicide detective in 1990s Los Angeles who is on the case of a mysterious serial killer. Supernatural forces may be at work, and there is more to the mangled bodies than a mere murder spree. Like its predecessor, the trailer makes it abundantly clear that Them season 2 will touch on racial issues, and its early '90s LA setting was no accident.
