Them is back for season two. Set in LA during the 90s, Detective Dawn Reeve is trying to find a serial killer with bizarre practices while discovering a long-kept secret about her family. Her son, Kel, is dealing with being a Black man with a cop son after the beating of Rodney King.

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 Joshua J. Williams, who plays Dawn’s son, Kelvin “Kel” Reeve about how he got into Kel’s headspace, how many issues during that period are similar today, if he would survive a horror movie, and his favorite scary movie.
