Them is a new limited anthology from creator Little Marvin and executive producer Lena Waithe. The series will explore the terror in America.
The first season, it’s set in the 1950s with a Black family moving from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood (Compton) during the period known as The Great Migration. The family’s idyllic home becomes ground zero where malevolent forces, next-door and otherworldly, threaten to taunt, ravage, and destroy them.
In this series, Them stars Deborah Ayorinde (Luke Cage, Harriet), Ashley Thomas (Top Boy, The Night Of), Alison Pill (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Goon), Shahadi Wright Joseph (Us, The Lion King), Melody Hurd (Battle at Big Rock, Fatherhood), and Ryan Kwanten (True Blood, Dead Silence).

The first trailer has plenty of creepy vibes to it as American society is deeply divided amongst mistrust. Not to mention, it’s set in the 1950s, which many people thought it to be perfect decade of the nuclear family. Obviously, these picturesque perfect neighborhoods are a façade of something else. In the end, whose neighborhood does it belong to? It’ll be an us versus them situation.
As for the series, it’s unsure if this is more like a thriller feel with The Purge or more supernatural like the hit movie Us. Whatever it is, it’s certainly a series to be watched when it comes out.
Them premieres on Amazon Prime Video on April 9.
