THEM is back for a new season and new chapter in Little Marvin’s horror anthology. Back for another season, Deborah Ayorinde, who starred in the first season, is now playing Dawn Reeve, a Detective in LA during the 90s who deals with racism and sexism at work. Things aren’t simple at home either, her mom (Pam Grier) reveals a family secret that flips her world upside down.

The series cast includes Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) as “Detective Dawn Reeve,” Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Bones, Ghost of Mars, Jackie Brown) as “Athena,” Grammy-nominated musician and actor Luke James (The Chi, Insecure) as “Edmund Gaines.” Rounding out the cast are Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger, Mudbound), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental, God’s Country), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Narcos), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions), Charles Brice (Homeland, The Blacklist, Watchmen), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi).

I talked to Deborah Ayorinde, who plays Detective Dawn Reeve this season and previously played Lucky in season one, about which character was the hardest to shake off, having emotional moments with viewers, why she decided to come back for another season, and if she could survive a scary movie.
