Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - THEM: The Scare

Set in 1991, THEM: The Scare centres 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.

Years after season one landed, The Scare does link to the first season, but how? With Deborah Ayorinde returning in a new role, this season landed on Anzac Day.

Deborah Ayorinde is Detective Dawn Reeve in The Scare, is joined by Pam Grier as Athena Reeve, Luke James as Edmund Gaines, Joshua J. Williams as Kelvin "Kel" Reeve and Jeremy Bobb as Detective Ronald McKinney.

The horror anthology series, created by Little Marvin and executive produced by Lena Waithe of The Chi fame.

THEM streams on Amazon Prime Video alongside the long awaited new season of The Boys. Coming June 13, two years after the third season.

Amazon Prime Video likes to keep us waiting for our stories, with THEM season two arriving over three years after the first.


The shortened eight episode season, starts strong, struggles a bit in the middle, while tries to tie it up all nicely at the end.

The link between Covenant and The Scare was fun, along with a potential look into a future series. But will it get renewed? With Amazon bringing in ad's shortly, maybe Jeff Bezos is running out of cash?

Let's hope Apple TV+ don't try that trick! Please!

Either way, THEM: The Scare is a little scary, but it won't give you nightmares. Season three, would I watch. Hell to the yes! Now Disney+ load Lena Waithe's second half of this season's The Chi!
